Abstract
It is essential to possess sound information, a positive attitude, and adhere to conventional infection control procedures in order to stop the spread of illnesses from healthcare institutions. The KAP gaps of the healthcare workers working at a teaching hospital in Qassim, Saudi Arabia, were brought to light by our study. Experience length was inversely correlated with knowledge, which may suggest that earlier academic curricula did not sufficiently address infection management in healthcare settings. Results also discovered a favourable correlation between excellent knowledge and practice and obtaining training on standard infection control precautions. As a result, setting up training programs for HCWs may help them brush up on and expand their understanding of standard infection control precautions. It is also anticipated that these programs will encourage positive behaviour and attitudes. The study's objective is to investigate how medical professionals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's public health system view infectious diseases.
