Ensuring the use of infection control standards is an important component of nursing. Worldwide escalation of the use of infection control standards will endorse quality promotion of health care which is safe for mother and health care personnel in labour unit. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of infection control standards on knowledge and practice among health care personnel working in labour unit at selected hospitals. The selection of sampling technique is purposive sampling technique and the sample consists of 60 health care personnel working in labour unit, Erode. The research approach used in this study was quantitative research design. The research design adopted for the present study was one group pretest posttest pre experimental design. INTRODUCTION Women are special creatures of god because she has the capability to give birth. She is crossing many developmental stages such as newborn, infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and many vital events such as attaining menarche, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. Women are typically capable of giving birth. Childbirth is momentous occasion in the life of couple. There is no greater gift for a mother than a healthy newborn baby and being healthy thereafter the delivery. More over healthy women are the foundation of a strong community and healthy newborns are the future. The WHO (2005) launched an infection control campaign “clean care is safer care” as part of its global patient safety challenge. The infection control campaign placed hand hygiene as its first priority and guidelines in hand hygiene have been developed using recommendations based on evidence. The centre of disease control and prevention (CDC’s) (2006) “Guideline for hand hygiene in health-care setting “recommends that gloves must be worn according to standard and contact precautions. Over them, many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of gloves in allowing health care workers to avoid introducing infection to patients and as well as personal protective measure. The other major concern emerged as an issues in health care setting is biomedical waste management which has become a worldwide humanitarian topic today. The Biomedical waste (Management and rules 2011) has clarified the ambiguity and allotted one color to each category of waste which was inculcated in infection control policy. NEED FOR STUDY Pregnancy is a time of joy and excitement.Labour, the culmination of pregnancy, is the start of an incredible journey with great psychological, social and emotional, meaning for the mother and her family. During this incredible journey of childbirth, a women’s genital tract. A bare surface prone to infections which are introduced by certain invasive procedures routinely done in labor unit such as vaginal examination, urinary catheterization, and artificial rupture of membrane, instrumental deliveries and also by the substandard level of infection control practice. The burden of this disease resulting from infection has led to a revival of general interest in infection control. Infection prevention and control is integral to safe, effective and ethical nursing practice. Ensuring the use of infection control standards is an important component of nursing. It aims to avoid infection (i.e. primary prevention) by enhancing practices of hand hygiene, surgical asepsis, environmental hygiene, clean equipments’ and training of health care OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 1. To assess the pre-test level of knowledge and practice scores regarding infection control standards among health care personnel working in labour unit. 2. To assess the post-test level of knowledge and practice scores regarding infection control standards among health care personnel working in labour unit. 3. To compare pre and post-test level of knowledge and practice scores regarding infection control standards among health care personnel working in labour unit. 4. To correlate the post test level of knowledge and practice scores regarding infection control standards among health care personnel working in labour unit 5. To associate post test level of knowledge and practice on infection control standards with their selected demographic variable among health care personnel working in labour unit. RESEARCH VARIABLES Independent variables Independent variable in this study was infection control standards. Dependent variables The dependent variable in the study was knowledge and practices on infection control in labour unit among health care personnel. Extraneous variables The extraneous variables were age, professional qualification, designation, and total year of experience in labour unit. SETTING OF THE STUDY: The study was conducted at Adithya hospital-bhavani 50 beded for maternity and 25-30 deliveries per month are conducted.10 health care personnel are working in labour unit. Ashok Krishna hospital-bhavani 60 beded for maternity and 40-45 deliveries per month are conducted.20 health care personnel are working in labour unit. Surya maternity and children’s hospital-bhavani 50 beded for maternity and 25-30 deliveries per month are conducted.15 health care personnel are working in labour unit.

The researcher conducted the study in selected hospitals at Erode District. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of infection control standards on knowledge and practice among health care personnel working in labour unit using purposive sampling technique.
