Abstract

OBJECTIVE

Health care providers (HCPs) are at risk of occupational exposure to HIV infection. In developing world these exposure occur due to general lack of awareness, education and structured training of HCPs. The objective of the study was to asses if continuing medical education symposium can be used as an effective educational tool to improve attitude, awareness and knowledge regarding occupational exposure to HIV infection. This quasi-experimental study was conducted among HCPs from Karachi, Pakistan. After assessing the baseline knowledge, awareness, and attitude by means of pretest; HCPs were reassessed with posttest after an education symposium on occupational exposure to HIV infection.

RESULTS

Among 364 participating HCPs, 14.2% had previous training on post exposure prophylaxis. There was an overall statistically significant (P value < 0.001) improvement in the attitude of the participants. A statistically positive improvement in the number of participants giving correct answer was observed in 9 out of 11 questions (P value < 0.001). The mean score of participants' knowledge before intervention was 6.44 ± 1.84, which improved to 8.82 ± 2.17. Along with the increase in knowledge, a positive change in the attitude regarding safety against HIV was observed after the education symposium.

摘要

目的

医疗保健提供者（HCPs）面临职业暴露于艾滋病毒感染的风险。在发展中世界，这些暴露的发生是由于HCPs普遍缺乏认识、教育和结构化培训。本研究的目的是评估继续医学教育研讨会是否可作为一种有效的教育工具，以改善对职业暴露于艾滋病毒感染的态度、认识和知识。这项准实验研究在巴基斯坦卡拉奇的HCPs中进行。通过预测试评估基线知识、认识和态度后；在关于职业暴露于艾滋病毒感染的教育研讨会后，对HCPs进行后测试重新评估。

结果

在364名参与的HCPs中，14.2%曾接受过暴露后预防培训。参与者的态度总体上有统计学显著改善（P值<0.001）。在11个问题中的9个问题上，给出正确答案的参与者数量有统计学上的积极改善（P值<0.001）。干预前参与者知识的平均得分是6.44±1.84，提高到了8.82±2.17。随着知识的增加，在教育研讨会后，观察到对艾滋病毒安全态度的积极变化。
