Description
Gilbert Ti-enkawol Nachinab, John Ndebugri Alem, and George Bernard Coffie survey in 2026 how nurses at Bolgatanga Regional Hospital in Ghana understand and follow workplace safety rules. Nurses in low-resource hospitals face sharper exposure to infection and injury, so the team questioned 136 nurses drawn at random from five hospital units. Scores measured knowledge, attitudes, and everyday practice on a four-point scale.
Nearly all nurses scored high on knowledge, and four in five held positive attitudes toward safety measures. Practice told a different story, with fewer than one in three showing good safety habits. Education level separated scores in all three domains, and the three scores rose and fell together. The authors recommend refresher training, written protocols, and monitoring systems from hospital management and regulators.
