This study aimed to investigate and compare the perception of personal protective equipments and instrument sterilization of students who are in attendance at colleges and universities and which have bedside training as a regular subject in their curriculum for third-year students. ‘Completely True’ is the highest response to the question about the importance of wearing gloves, mask and medical gown from all groups. ‘Completely True’ is the highest response to the question about the necessity for replacement of gloves from all groups. ‘Moderate True’ is the highest response to the question about the necessity for replacement of mask from the group without practical training and ‘Completely True’ is the highest response to the question about the importance of hair cleanliness from all groups regardless of practical training experience. For the question about the perception of instrument disinfection and sterilization, the group with inside and outside practical training showed the highest perception level. Consequently, the right education for prevention of infection by setting inclusive guidelines to enhance the level of perception and practice seems continuously necessary.
