Several diseases related to the HAIs, such as HIV and hepatitis. Compliance behavior in using PPE is one of prevention to control the hazards. Accident rates in Hospital X Surabaya for patient's body fluid and needle stick injury are 51.1% and 46.7%. Objective: This study was aimed to analyze individual commitment related to a compliance behavior in using personal protective equipment (PPE) on nurses in inpatient installation. Methods: This research was a quantitative with cross sectional study design and observational study. The data were collected on November 2015 with a questionnaire and observation checklist. The total sample technique was used to get the sample (n = 29). Conclusion: The correlation's of age (r =-0.170), sex (r = 0.336), work period (r = 0.051), employment status (r = 0.340), knowledge (r = 0.394), attitude (r = 0.215), individual commitment (r = 0.515), occupation factor (r = 0.378), work shift (r = 0.446). High Commitment caused the increased of the level compliance behavior. Ordinal regression test showed interaction variable of knowledge and individual commitment (p = 0. 000) became influenced variables to compliance behavior in using PPE. Based on the Pseudo R Square, the value of Nagelkerke is 0.483 , it means 48.3% that variables were able to explain variation in compliance behavior in using PPE. Recommended to hospital management to increase the commitment and knowledge with hold the workshop and discussed the forum about compliance behavior in using PPE to prevent healthcare associated infections (HAIs). Keywords— Compliance Behavior, Personal Protective Equipment, Hospital. I. INTRODUCTION RS X Surabaya has 14 units hospitalization with nursing work 3 shift times per day. Work accident Data the highest on nurses in Inpatient Installation RS X Surabaya is a liquid exposed patients and needle stick injury, i.e. Each of 51.1% and 46,7%. Compliance behavior data in using PPE of masks and gloves based on SOP are 17.8% and 57.8%. Based on these reasons then this research aims to elucidate the commitment individual factors related to the compliance behavior in using PPE on nurse. II. RESEARCH METHODS This research has a method of quantitative research approach with types of observational research and approach cross sectional. This research was conducted in installation of inpatient RS X Surabaya. Data collection research conducted on November 2015. The total sample technique was used to get samples (n=29). The research consists of a Variable independent variable i.e. internal factors (age, sex, work period, employment status, individual commitment, knowledge, and attitude) and external factors (occupation factors (Standart Operating Procedures, supervision, and facilitation of PPE)) and work shift). The dependent variable is a compliance behavior in using PPE. Collecting data with the questionnaire, observation checklist, and documentation study on November 2015. Data analysis using the spearman correlation test to know the correlation coefficient and the ordinal regression test to know the relationship of independent variables with the dependent variables simultaneously.
