Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ClassⅠ infectious diseases response education provided to nurses in military hospitals. Methods: Quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group pre-posttest design was used. A total of 57 participants were recruited in this study (29 in the control group and 28 in the experimental group). The experimental group received the ClassⅠ infectious diseases response education for two weeks (10 sessions, 20 hours) from September 4 to 15 in 2023. Results: The experimental group had a significant increase in self efficacy (F=12.57, P=.001), response efficacy (F=15.59, P=<.001), willingness to respond (F=47.15, P=<.001), and infection prevention and control (IPC) compliance related to ClassⅠ infectious diseases (F=4.76, P=.033). Conclusion: The findings suggest that the program could enhance efficacy, willingness to respond, and IPC compliance against ClassⅠ Infectious Diseases among military nurses. Therefore, follow-up research are required for a standard program to be spread across all military hospitals.
