Abstract

Background: Clean and safe childbirth is far from expectations because practices
for preventing infection are not in place due to the unavailability of delivery care
standards, limited knowledge and skills required and lack of staff compliance with
standards which causes the performance and quality of services to still be
considered low. Knowledge about PPE and its benefits is very important for health
workers to prevent the transmission of infections in health services and infection
prevention efforts are the first step in providing quality health services.
