Clinical management of COVID-19 is very dynamic at the moment and this is guided by general principles of management of respiratory illnesses. This study assesses the knowledge of nurses on safe clinical management of Covid-19, knowledge of nurses on infection prevention and control (IPC), the practice of nurses on management of Covid-19 in Ondo State and factors affecting practice of safe clinical management of Covid 19 in Ondo State. The population of interest in this study were all nurses in the three (3) selected hospitals in Ondo State, with sample size of 100. Four research questions were posed and two hypothesis were formulated. The data was collected through the use of researcher’s designed questionnaire and same analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 23 computer statistical software package, mean and standard deviation, while categorical variables were analysed using frequencies and percentages. Pearson Product Moment Correlation statistical method was used to determine statistical significance of association between categorical variables at 5% probability level and statistical significance will be set at p<0.05. The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between knowledge of nurses on safe clinical management of Covid-19 and years of experience (p=0.001) and there is significant relationship between knowledge and practices of nurses on safe clinical management Covid-19 in Ondo State (p=0.001). It was concluded that job stress, staff and resource adequacy and turnover, inadequate of personnel, fear of COVID-19 infection, availability and accessibility of personal protective equipment, lack of training on infection practice and control (IPC), insincerity of patients and relative, inadequacy of equipment, availability of diagnostic materials and lack of motivation from the management to the nurses are factors affecting practice of safe clinical management of Covid 19 in Ondo. Continuous provision of PPE and training of all nurses on proper infection prevention measures is therefore recommended.
