These precautions are strongly recommended as
the guidelines for preventing infections and ensuring occupational safety. This survey
discussed on the level of knowledge, attitude and practices among OR staff nurses mainly
related to standard precaution and transmission·based precautions. The specific objective of
this survey are to identify relationship between variable demographic profiles of participants
towards these precautions and to characterize the relation between knowledge, attitude and
practices towards standard precaution and 1ransmission-based precautions. This was a self-reported survey conducted during April2009. Seventy-five
out of 100 operating room staff nurses had returned back the completed questionnaires on the
same day the questions had been distributed. The questionnaires comprised of three major
components; the knowledge, the attitudes and the practices, towards the standard and
transmission- based precautions. There was significant differences towards the standard and transmission
precautions were found among OR female staff nurses in term of practices as compared to
OR male staff nurses. There were weak correlation on level of knowledge among younger
age of female staff. However, the overall result did not showed any clear correlation and
there was no significant differences in demographic profiles. This study broadly profiles knowledge, attitudes and pmctice patterns of
operating room staff, which may benefit healthcare educators in planning and developing
appropriate educational programmes, may help organizations to provide a safe workplace
climate and may aid healthcare workers to learn the important of personal responsibility in
preventing infectious disease transmission to patients, co-workers and even themselves. |
