| description | Introduction: Good Clinical Laboratory Practices (GCLP) play
a vital role in early and accurate diagnosis, providing highquality data, and timely sample processing. Adhering to a
robust Quality Management System (QMS) that complies with
GCLP standards is crucial for laboratory personnel in a clinical
laboratory to deliver outstanding healthcare services and
reliable, reproducible reports.
Aim: To assess the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP)
of laboratory professionals towards quality in the laboratory
through GCLP training.
Materials and Methods: This pre-test, post-test quasiexperimental study was conducted in the Department of
Biochemistry at ESIC Medical College and Hospital, Faridabad,
Haryana, India, from February 2022 to June 2022. The study
included 58 participants, consisting of 22 doctors and the
remaining laboratory assistants. GCLP online training program
was conducted every Friday in March 2022 for four weeks. An
online questionnaire containing 34 questions was administered
to all the participants before and after the training. Data were
collected and analysed using a paired t-test.
Results: A total of 58 responses were received from the
participants via Google form before and after the training.
The results indicate no significant difference in participants’
responses to 12 closed-ended questions regarding QMS before
and after training. A similar trend was observed for 22 questions
on a Likert scale, where participants rated their agreement,
neutrality, or disagreement.
Conclusion: The study demonstrates that all technical staff
fully complied with GCLP guidelines and accreditation
requirements. Furthermore, the laboratory staff acknowledges
the importance of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs),
document maintenance, record-keeping, and identifying nonconformities, all of which contribute to effective traceability of
the testing process in the clinical laboratory. |
