| Summary: | Background & Aim: Nurses worldwide face serious challenges to deal with infectious diseases. A transmission prevention model is expected to be a strategy to overcome these challenges. To date, most of the available models are in the form of disease prevention models primarily implemented to detect infections. In contrast, only a few models are implemented to improve disease transmission prevention behavior, especially in nurses. This study aims to find a model of infection transmission prevention adopted from the aids risk reduction model.
Methods & Materials: This study was an analytic observational study and employed a cross-sectional approach. This study was conducted in two hospitals in Makassar City and involved 123 respondents. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression tests.
Results: This study finds that there is a correlation between organizational factors and nurses' commitment (b=.268) (p=.003); there is a correlation between self-justification and nurses’ self-labelling as at-risk individuals of contracting the disease (b=-.180 )(p=.049); there is a correlation between labeling and actions to reduce the risk of disease transmission (Enactment) (b=.255)(p=.001); there is a correlation between nurses' commitment and enactment (b=.651)(p=.001).
Conclusion: The risk reduction model could represent the nurses' disease transmission prevention behavior.
