Methods: A structured questionnaire survey was conducted among 166 ICU nurses at two tertiary hospitals in South Korea. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25.0, including independent t-tests, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: Hierarchical regression analysis identified organizational culture for infection control (\u03b2 = .41, p &lt; .001), awareness of SPs (\u03b2 = .37, p &lt; .001), and clinical experience (\u03b2 = .18, p = .007) as significant predictors of SP performance. In contrast, the infection prevention environment was not a statistically significant predictor. The final model explained 54.0% of the variance in SP performance (F = 23.39, p &lt; .001), with an adjusted R2 of 52.0%. Conclusion: To enhance SP performance among ICU nurses, multidimensional, career-tailored interventions are needed to move beyond traditional knowledge-based education and facilitate the transition from awareness to practice. In addition, establishing supportive and constructive communication systems within a nonpunitive environment for reporting infection control errors or noncompliance, together with supportive leadership, may help create a sustainable organizational foundation for infection prevention. Ultimately, shifting the focus from physical facilities to organizational culture is essential for preventing pathogen transmission and ensuring physiological safety.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7586\/jkbns.26.016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]],"date-time":"2026-05-26T07:00:03Z","timestamp":1779778803000},"page":"300-316","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.7586\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Factors
