This is an interventional study, since a training has been given, performed in order to investigate whether training has significant impact on knowledge levels of healthcare managers (head-nurses, assistant head nurses, hospital managers and deputy managers) regarding bio-medical waste management.
The study was conducted on 240 volunteers during June - August 2010 in 12 hospitals serving in Istanbul (private, public, university, training-research hospitals and other healthcare institutions). A survey form prepared by the project guidance team was applied to the participants through the internet before and after the training courses. The training program was composed of 40 hours of theory and 16 hours of practice sessions taught by persons known to have expertise in their fields. Methods used in the analysis of the data chi-square and t-tests in dependent groups.
67.5% (162) of participants were female. 42.5% (102) are working in private, and 21.7% in state-owned hospitals. 50.4% are head-nurses, and 18.3% are hospital managers.A statistically significant difference was found among those who had received medical waste management training (preliminary test and final test) and others who had not (p<0.01). It was observed that information levels of all healthcare managers who had received training on waste management had risen at the completion of that training session.
On the subject of waste management, to have trained healthcare employees who are responsible for the safe disposal of wastes in hospitals is both a necessity for the safety of patients and important for its contribution to the economy of the country.
这是一项干预研究，因为已经进行了培训，旨在调查培训是否对医疗保健管理人员（护士长、助理护士长、医院经理和副经理）的生物医学废物管理知识水平有重大影响。
本研究于 2010 年 6 月至 8 月在伊斯坦布尔的 12 家医院（私立、公立、大学、培训研究医院和其他医疗机构）对 240 名志愿者进行。在培训课程之前和之后，通过互联网向参与者应用由项目指导团队编制的调查问卷。培训计划由 40 小时的理论课程和 16 小时的实践课程组成，由在各自领域具有专业知识的人员授课。数据分析方法采用卡方检验和独立样本 t 检验。
67.5%（162 人）的参与者为女性。42.5%（102 人）在私立医院工作，21.7%在公立医院工作。50.4%为护士长，18.3%为医院经理。接受过医疗废物管理培训（初步测试和最终测试）的人与未接受过培训的人之间存在统计学显著差异（p<0.01）。观察到接受过废物管理培训的所有医疗保健管理人员的信息水平在培训结束时都有所提高。
在废物管理方面，培训负责医院废物安全处置的医疗保健员工既是保障患者安全的必要条件，也是对国家经济的重要贡献。
