Aim: This study was planned to determine the compliance of student nurses with isolation precautions and the factors affecting them. Methods: The study was conducted with 328 students. Data were collected with Scale Compliance with Isolation Precautions. p<0.05 value was accepted as statistically significant. Results: The means of route of infection, hand hygiene/glove use, and compliance with isolation measures were higher for female students than for males (p<0.05). It was determined that female students showed a high level of compliance with isolation precautions. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the age and class of the students and the practitioner-patient safety, hand hygiene/glove use sub-dimension and total score (p< 0.05). It was determined that the level of compliance with isolation precautions increased as the age and class of the students increased. Practitioner-patient safety sub-dimension mean scores of students who thought that nurses did not comply with isolation precautions were found to be higher than the others ((p<0.05). The total mean score of the 4th grade students' compliance with isolation precautions was higher than the 2nd grade students (p<0.05). Practitioner-patient safety, hand hygiene/glove use sub-dimension mean scores of 2nd grade students were lower than those of 3rd and 4th grade students (p<0.05). Conclusion and Suggestions: It was found that student nurses' compliance with isolation measures was at a good level. In order to increase awareness it is recommended to organize a conference, seminar about isolation precautions including compliance with isolation precautions in occupationel courses should be included in the education programs during nursing education.
