Lack of knowledge may contribute to a higher risk of nosocomial tuberculosis (TB) among Russian TB health care workers (HCWs).
Community-based participatory study. Russian TB HCWs at five TB facilities (n = 96) were surveyed to assess knowledge specific to TB and infection control.
Overall scores were low. Analysis of variance showed a significant difference in knowledge by job category. Physicians scored significantly higher than nurses, laboratory staff and support staff. Nurses and laboratory technicians scored significantly higher than support staff. The biggest area of knowledge deficit was in infection control.
Knowledge level of TB among HCWs could influence the prevalence of nosocomial TB infection.
缺乏相关知识可能会导致俄罗斯结核病医护人员(HCWs)发生医院内结核病(TB)的风险更高。
基于社区的参与性研究。对五家结核病机构的 96 名俄罗斯结核病 HCWs 进行了调查,以评估与结核病和感染控制相关的具体知识。
总体得分较低。方差分析显示,不同职业类别的知识水平存在显著差异。医生的得分明显高于护士、实验室人员和支持人员。护士和实验室技术员的得分明显高于支持人员。知识最欠缺的领域是感染控制。
HCWs 对结核病的了解程度可能会影响医院内结核病感染的发生率。
