Standard precaution behavior is meant to reduce the risk of transmission through blood-borne pathogens from both recognized and unrecognized sources in dental healthcare services. Hand hygiene and personal protective equipment are two major components of standard precautions that are believed to be the most effective methods to prevent the transmission of pathogens associated with healthcare in dental healthcare workers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the behavior of standard precautions among clinical students in RSGMP FKG Unair and to describe the factors that can influence behavioral activity. This research is a descriptive observational study with a cross sectional design among 100 clinical students in RSGMP FKG Unair. The data was collected using direct observation, and interviews. The data was then distributed in table form, then analyzed with the SPSS program. The results show that the variables of supervision, facilities, knowledge, treatment types and gender have an odd ratio > 1, except that supervision and facilities have a p-value < 0.05, which is p-value 0.001 for supervision and p-value 0.023 for facilities. From the research among 100 clinical students, 54% of the respondents had a higher score than average. The average score of standard precautions behavior is about 71.8% or 3.59 out of 5 so it can be concluded that the behavior of standard precautions among clinical students in RSGMP FKG Unair is in need of improvement.
