In this regard, 260 managers, section supervisors and infection control nurses participated in the study according to census basis.

Results: Among the studied hospitals, 18 hospitals were public.
Hospitals enjoyed 77.2% of leadership and programming, 80.8% of focus of programs, 67.4% of isolating methods, 88.2% of hand health and protection techniques, 78.8% of improving patient’s safety and quality, 90.3% of training personnel, and 78.7% of the average status quo of PCI standards.
