Introduction: Preventive measures in providing care for patients with COVID-19 under mechanical ventilation protects healthcare workers (HCWs) against infection. With no data on the compliance of HCWs with preventive measures, this study aimed to examine infection prevention and control in prenatal care providers caring for pregnant women with COVID-19 under mechanical ventilation in Tabriz hospitals in the second quarter of 2020.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 60(available sampling) nurses working in COVID-19 ICUs of Imam Reza, Alzahra and Taleghani hospitals in Tabriz in the second quarter of 2020. Instruments to measure preventive measures were prepared by the research team, and the author completed them along with nurses caring for pregnant women with COVID-19 under mechanical ventilation. Data were entered in SPSS 21 and were compared using logistic regression and chi-square tests. P-value was considered to be less than 0.05.
Results: Total score of compliance with preventive measures was 3.45±018 (medium); the analysis of logistic regression between demographic variables and compliance with preventive measures indicated a significant statistical difference between marital status (OR=1.2 and CI=0.8-2.0), underlying diseases (OR=1.9 and CI=1.5-2.2), and work history (OR=1.6 and CI=1.4-2.3).
Conclusion: In this study, contact precautions in caring for pregnant women with COVID-19 under mechanical ventilation were medium which could have a significant effect on COVID-19 infection among the staff.
