Psychological dimensions were assessed using a researcher-developed questionnaire. Risk perception was a three-item composite score (range: 3\u201315), and self-efficacy, sense of responsibility and attitude were each measured using single-item indicators. Multivariate linear regression with HC3 robust standard errors was used for the primary analysis, with occupational category, years of clinical experience, managerial position and infection control committee participation entered as covariates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In total, 1077 staff members were analysed (response rate: 81.7%). Risk perception was positively associated with years of clinical experience, although this association was not consistent across models. Self-efficacy was lower among non-healthcare workers compared with nurses. Sense of responsibility was consistently lower among physicians, other healthcare workers and non-healthcare staff than in nurses. Attitudes showed no clear associations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study extends previous KAP-based evidence by showing that associated factors vary across dimensions.
