| description | Introduction: Hospitals are one of the most common organizations that are affected by the risk of transmission of various infections and occupational injury. As people who are in charge of taking care of patients, operating room staff are among the high-risk groups in terms of contracting blood-borne diseases. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of participating in blood-borne infections training courses on the level of occupational exposure and knowledge of operating room personnel in hospitals.
Materials and Methods: The current research was conducted on 198 operating room personnel in a cross-sectional manner in 2017. To collect data, a questionnaire was used to measure the level of awareness, attitude and performance of employees in the workplace. The questionnaire was given to the participants by available sampling method. after collecting it, it was analyzed in SPSS version 24 software.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of the knowledge score was 6.63±1.38 out of 10, which indicated the unfavorable knowledge of the personnel. In addition, 129 people (65.2%) of the participants had a history of occupational exposure to blood-borne infections.
Conclusion: In this study, most of the people had received the relevant trainings, but the knowledge of the people was not at an optimal level and the level of exposure among the personnel was also reported to be high. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the occupational exposure system and ultimately reduce the risk of transmission of blood-borne infections with more effective training and regular monitoring. |
