Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jenis kelamin (p꞊0.001; 95%CI꞊0.047;0.431), fasilitas (p꞊0.001; 95%CI꞊1.902;11.11), sikap (p꞊0.036; 95%CI꞊1.138;5.625), dan pengetahuan (p꞊0.001; 95%CI꞊2.105;11.66) mempengaruhi perilaku perawat dalam pencegahan HAP. Sementara usia (p꞊0.110; 95%CI꞊0.933;4.505), masa kerja (p꞊0.067; 95%CI꞊1.023;4.958), pelatihan (p꞊1.00; 95%CI꞊0.332;2.483), motivasi (p꞊0.118; 95%CI꞊0.916;5.975), dan supervisi kepala ruang (p꞊0.203; 95%CI꞊0.821;3.921) tidak mempengaruhi perilaku perawat dalam pencegahan HAP. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan peningkatan pengetahuan, sikap, dan fasilitas untuk meningkatkan perilaku perawat dalam pencegahan HAP.

Nurses behaviors on the prevention of Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) may affect the incidence of HAP. Our observations showed that some nurses did not perform HAP prevention properly. This study aimed to identify determinants of nurses’ behaviors on the prevention of HAP. The study employed a descriptive cross- sectional design. A sample of 107 nurses took part in the study. Results revealed that nurses’ sex (p꞊0.001; 95%CI꞊0.047;0.431), attitude (p꞊0.036; 95%CI꞊1.138;5.625), knowledge (p꞊0.001; 95%CI꞊2.105;11.66) and hospital facilities (p꞊0.001; 95%CI꞊1.902;11.11), affected nurses’ behaviors on the prevention of HAP. On contrary, nurses’ age (p꞊0.110; 95%CI꞊0.933;4.505), motivation (p꞊0.118; 95%CI꞊0.916;5.975), job tenure (p꞊0.067; 95%CI꞊1.023;4.958), trainings (p꞊1.00; 95%CI꞊0.332;2.483), and head nurse oversight (p꞊0.203; 95%CI꞊0.821;3.921) did not affect nurses’ behaviors on the prevention of HAP. This study recommended the enhancement of nurses behavior and attitude as well as hospital facilites in order to improve nurses’ behaviors on the prevention of HAP.
