Abstract

AIM: to assess knowledge of Standard Precautions and infection control by health care providers (HCPs) at the Students’ Hospital, Mansoura University, Egypt. METHOD: All HCPs were targeted for a cross-sectional study. A previously validated self-administered questionnaire was used to gather information regarding basic characteristics and the following knowledge domains; the general concept of standard precautions, hand hygiene, personal protective equipments, sharp disposal, environmental sanitation and care of health workers. Scoring system was assigned for different responses, with a total score of 50. RESULTS: The mean (minimum, maximum) knowledge scores are: 28.5 (13.0-44.0) for the total score, 3.6 (0.5) for general concepts, 5.0 (0.9) for hand hygiene, 6.9 (1.10) for personal protective equipment, 2.1 (0.5) for sharp injuries and occupational infection, 5.0 (0.10) for sharp disposal and environmental sanitation, and 6.0 (1.10) for care of health care workers (HCW) domains. The mean total score and most of the domain scores show significant variation with specialty, educational level and duration of work. Compared to physicians/dentists/pharmacists, nurses are about 12 times more likely to have poor knowledge (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR]=11.8, CI=6.2-22.7) and technicians/health inspectors are about 31 times more likely to have poor knowledge (AOR=31.4, CI=11.2-88.3). CONCLUSION: In-service training and education curricula need to be revised.

Özet

AMAÇ: Mısır, Mansoura Üniversitesi Eğitim Hastanesi sağlık bakımı çalışanlarının standart önlemler ve enfeksiyon kontrolü bilgilerini değerlendirmek. YÖNTEM: Bu kesitsel çalışmada bütün sağlık bakım çalışanlarına erişmek amaçlandı. Geçerliliği daha önce gösterilmiş bir kendi kendine doldurulan soru formu, temel özellikler ve bilgi kaynakları, genel standart önlemler yaklaşımı, kişisel koruyucu ekipman, kesici aletlerin imhası, çevresel sahitasyon ve sağlık çalışanlarını koruma konularındaki bilgiyi toplamada kullanıldı. Değerlendirme sistemi farklı cevaplar için, toplam puan 50 olacak şekilde planlandır. SONUÇLAR: Ortalama (en küçük-en büyük) bilgi puanları toplamda 28.5 (13.0-44.0), genel yaklaşım için 3.6 (0.0-5.0), el hijyeni için 5.0 (0.0-9.0), kişisel koruyucu ekipmanlar için 6.9 (1.0-10.0), kesici alet yaralanmaları ve mesleki enfeksiyonlar için 2.1 (0.0-5.0), kesici alet imhası ve çevresel sanitasyon için 5.0 (0.0-10.0) ve sağlık çalışanlarının korunması için 6.0 (1.0-10.0) olarak bulunmuştur. Ortalama toplam skor ve birçok alan skoru uzmanlık, eğitim düzeyi ve çalışma süresine göre istatistiksel anlamlı farklılık göstermekteydi. Hekim/diş hekimi/eczacılar ile karşılaştırılınca hemşireler 12 kat (OR(%95 GA)=11.8 (6.2-22.7) ve teknisyenler 31 kat kat (OR(%95 GA)=31.4 (11.2-88.3) eksik bilgi düzeyine sahipti. TARTIŞMA: Yerinde eğitim ve öğretim programlarının güncellenmesi gereklidir.
