Abstract: Adherence to infection control and prevention protocols is vital for ensuring patient safety, reducing the risk of health care-associated infections, and maintaining a safe hospital environment. This study assessed the level of adherence among healthcare personnel at Camarines Norte Provincial Hospital and identified the factors influencing compliance. Specifically, it examined adherence to key infection control measures, including hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, safe injection practices, environmental cleaning, respiratory etiquette, and isolation precautions. The study also analyzed the relationship between demographic profiles and adherence levels and developed an intervention plan based on the findings. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized, involving 191 healthcare personnel selected through total population sampling. Data were gathered using a validated structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square and t-tests. Results showed that the majority of the respondents were female, single, and with bachelor’s degrees. Most are 20-29 years, with 1–3 years of work experience, and represent diverse clinical assignments. Overall, adherence to protocols was rated as “Always,” with consistently high compliance across indicators. Personal factors, particularly knowledge and sense of responsibility, had a strong influence on adherence, while institutional and environmental factors were rated moderately. Among demographic variables, only civil status was significantly associated with adherence. Based on these findings, an intervention plan was proposed, focusing on continuous education, institutional support, and environmental improvements. The study recommends stronger management involvement, enhanced feedback mechanisms, and further research into behavioral and systemic determinants of infection control practices.
