Training of health-care providers about the various aspects of biomedical waste (BMW) management and handling (M and H) rules can improve the safe disposal of BMW and protect the patients and public from related hazards.
Our study objective was to evaluate the existing knowledge regarding BMW management rules among selected health-care professionals and to evaluate the impact of training program on BMW management on the knowledge and practices of health-care professionals.
The training program on BMW management rules was conducted in April 2018. A total of 250 participants were trained. A structured validated questionnaire was used. The data were analyzed, and the mean score of pre- and post-test was compared by the paired-t test.
Majority of the participants were female (83%) aged 20-30 years (56%). The majority of the participants were married (74%) and were from urban areas (74%). The mean pretest and posttest score were 14.00 and 19.94 respectively ( < 0.000).
The structured training on all aspects of BMW management led to statistically significant improvement in the knowledge among health-care professionals.
Such training programs need to be regularly conducted.
对医疗保健提供者进行生物医疗废物（BMW）管理与处理（M和H）规则各方面的培训，可改善BMW的安全处置，并保护患者和公众免受相关危害。
我们的研究目的是评估选定的医疗保健专业人员对BMW管理规则的现有知识，并评估BMW管理培训计划对医疗保健专业人员的知识和实践的影响。
2018年4月开展了关于BMW管理规则的培训计划。共有250名参与者接受了培训。使用了一份经过结构验证的问卷。对数据进行分析，并通过配对t检验比较测试前和测试后的平均分数。
大多数参与者为女性（83%），年龄在20至30岁之间（56%）。大多数参与者已婚（74%），来自城市地区（74%）。测试前和测试后的平均分数分别为14.00和19.94（<0.000）。
关于BMW管理各方面的结构化培训使医疗保健专业人员的知识有了统计学上的显著提高。
此类培训计划需要定期开展。
