The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of infection control guidelines on nurses' performance at burn unit. Method: A Quasi-experimental non-randomized research design using one group (Pre and post) using a convenience sample of all available nurses work at the burn units affiliated to Mansoura university hospitals with total number of (82) nurses from both sexes with diverse ages, years of experience, and different level of education. Three tools were used: Structured questionnaire to assess demographic data and nurses’ knowledge, checklist to monitor nurses’ level of practices, and questionnaire to identify attitudes toward infection control guidelines. Data were analyzed using IBM-SPSS using software Chi-Square test, Z-test, t-test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, Correlation Coefficient (r). Results: Showed statistically significantly improvement in attitude, practices and knowledge levels after the application of the infection control guidelines. The study concluded that there is a strict need to follow infection control guidelines as they have positive effects on improving attitude, practices and knowledge of nurses working at the burn units. Recommendation: encourage continuous online education and training through mobile devices, utilizing audio visual aids for enhanced learning.
