Health care workers especially medical students are at risk of being exposed to blood-borne pathogens. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice of medical students towards standard isolation precautions (SIP).
A standardized questionnaire was completed by 148 medical students from April to July of year 2009 to seek their knowledge, attitude and practice towards standard isolation precautions in a clinical setting at Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Iran.
The mean score of knowledge, attitude and practice towards standard isolation precautions were 6.8±2.1 (maximum 10), 16.6±4.2 (maximum 20), and 18.05 ± 4.5 (maximum 30) respectively. Significant differences were observed between practice of female and male (P < 0.008) and also knowledge of year 6 and year 7 students (P <0.021).
Education on infection control based on standard isolation precaution must be stressed and barriers of appropriate practice must be removed.
医护人员尤其是医学生面临接触血源性病原体的风险。因此,本研究旨在确定医学生对标准隔离预防措施(SIP)的知识、态度和实践情况。
2009年4月至7月,148名医学生完成了一份标准化问卷,以了解他们在伊朗加兹温医科大学临床环境中对标准隔离预防措施的知识、态度和实践情况。
对标准隔离预防措施的知识、态度和实践的平均得分分别为6.8±2.1(满分10分)、16.6±4.2(满分20分)和18.05±4.5(满分30分)。在女性和男性的实践情况之间(P<0.008)以及六年级和七年级学生的知识情况之间(P<0.021)观察到显著差异。
必须强调基于标准隔离预防措施的感染控制教育,并消除适当实践的障碍。
