Abstract

There are no studies describing the attitude of healthcare workers (HCWs) towards universal precautions (UPs) in Ethiopia, in the context of the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome pandemic. We investigated HCWs' knowledge and perceptions concerning UPs and exposure to blood and body fluids in two regions of eastern Ethiopia. All HCWs in 19 health institutions were surveyed using a questionnaire for data collection. Descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis using logistic regression were performed. The HCWs had insufficient knowledge and perception of UPs, along with a one-year prevalence of needlestick injury of 29.1% (95% confidence interval: 24.2-34.0). Policies and more intensive training are required for HCWs in Ethiopia.

摘要

在埃塞俄比亚，尚未有研究描述在人类免疫缺陷病毒/获得性免疫缺陷综合征大流行背景下医护人员对普遍预防措施的态度。我们在埃塞俄比亚东部的两个地区调查了医护人员对普遍预防措施以及接触血液和体液的知识和认知。通过问卷调查对19个医疗机构的所有医护人员进行数据收集。进行了描述性统计和使用逻辑回归的多变量分析。医护人员对普遍预防措施的知识和认知不足，针刺伤的一年患病率为29.1%（95%置信区间：24.2 - 34.0）。埃塞俄比亚的医护人员需要相关政策和更强化的培训。
