on nursing students. Methods: Cross-sectional survey was done with a self-administered questionnaire from 350 nursing students in 8 college from December 19, 2011 to February 21, 2012. Results: Overall correct answer to 13 knowledge-type questions was 70.8% percent, which wasn`t significantly different ever taken clinical practice (p=.174). 236 nursing students had taken an infection control training, which was significantly different (p=.012). The question ``the most important vehicle in pathogen transmission`` showed the highest correct answer (94.9%), followed by ``risk-guided application of a preventive strategy`` (92.0%). The question ``the main purpose of glove use`` showed the lowest correct answer (28.3%), followed by the basic concept of standard precautions` (34.6%). Preferred single prevention measure was ``hand hygiene`` (98.6%). 47.5% of the respondents answer ``know vaguely`` on the question about ``self assessment of knowledge on the concept of isolation precaution``. Preferred source of information on isolation precautions was searching for guideline (62.6%) followed by calling the hotline (24.8%). The most important obstacle to compliance with isolation precaution guideline was forgetfulness (65.4%), followed by lack of time (42.9%), lack of knowledge (34.3%), and lack of needs (2.6%). Conclusion: The knowledge on the isolation precautions among nursing students was low, therefore nursing students require fundamental and comprehensive courses in infection control precautions prior to taking part in the clinical practice. Considering forgetfulness was the most important obstacle to adhere to isolation precaution guideline, repeated education in the schools or hospitals are also recommended.
