Abstract
This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of healthcare personnel working in COVID-19 clinics and to assess their compliance with the isolation precautions. This descriptive-correlational study was conducted between June 1 and June 30, 2020, and involved 136 healthcare personnel working in the COVID-19 clinics of a university hospital who volunteered to take part in the study, and who subsequently took part in face-to-face interviews. The data was collected using a personal information form that included descriptive properties and a Compliance Scale with Isolation Precautions (CSIP). Mean age of the healthcare personnel was 34.11±7.65 (years), and 64.7% were female. The mean CSIP score was 76.16±14.02. Almost all of the participants had received training in isolation precautions, and a large majority found the training to be adequate. The mean CSIP scores of the female participants were significantly higher than that of their male counterparts (P
