description A self-administered validated questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge, attitude and self-reported practices among 109 healthcare professionals in an acute hospital in Ireland on Carbapenemase Producing Enterobacterales. Respondents mean knowledge and self-reported practices scores of CPE were 11.27 (±2.076) and 6.35 (±.846), respectively. Nurses self-reported practice scores were significantly higher than doctors (P<.001). The mean positive attitude score towards CPE management was 10.06 (±1.252). This study demonstrated that healthcare professionals were knowledgeable on the topic of CPE, however there was deficiency in some aspects of knowledge that is relevant to control of CPE transmission.
