Subsequently, logistic regression analysis was used to examine the impact of variables on one another. The population consisted of 129 individuals, and a purposive sample of 127 individuals was drawn. The research findings indicate that there is a relationship between workload, attitudes, healthcare facilities, and medical practices with nosocomial infection prevention at RSUD Buton Utara. However, knowledge was found to have no correlation with nosocomial infection prevention at RSUD Buton Utara.
