The extensive spread of Covid-19 pandemic globally became the main cause of concern for everyone, including security officers working in a health care setting.
To assess the effectiveness of instructional module for Covid-19 prevention among hospital security officers.
A preexperimental study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital from North India. A total of 344 security officers were selected by the convenient sampling technique. A self-structured knowledge and practice questionnaires and instructional module were developed based on the guidelines released by World Health Organization, Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Knowledge and practice were pretested, followed by the implementation of a video cum discussion instructional module for Covid-19 prevention. A posttest of knowledge and practice assessment was done after 7 days by using the same questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to compute and analyse the data.
The mean age of participants was 29.5 ± 2.25; mos participants (75%) were male security officers. Knowledge and practice scores improved after the implementation of instructional module as mean scores of pretest to mean posttest scores had shown a significant difference ( = 0.00). In practice, instructional module was significantly effective, except for touching hair again and again, as it could be a source of covid-19 infection.
This study finding highlights the significance of training security officers about the prevention of Covid-19.
新冠疫情在全球的广泛传播成为了包括在医疗机构工作的安保人员在内的每个人关注的主要原因。
评估针对医院安保人员的新冠预防教学模块的有效性。
在印度北部的一家三级医院进行了一项预实验研究。通过便利抽样技术共选取了344名安保人员。根据世界卫生组织、疾病控制与预防中心以及卫生与家庭福利部发布的指南，编制了一份自拟的知识与实践问卷以及教学模块。对知识和实践进行了预测试，随后实施了一个关于新冠预防的视频加讨论教学模块。7天后使用相同问卷进行知识和实践评估的后测试。使用描述性和推断性统计来计算和分析数据。
参与者的平均年龄为29.5±2.25岁；大多数参与者（75%）是男性安保人员。实施教学模块后，知识和实践得分有所提高，因为预测试的平均得分与后测试的平均得分显示出显著差异（P = 0.00）。在实践中，教学模块显著有效，但反复触摸头发除外，因为这可能是新冠感染的一个来源。
本研究结果凸显了对安保人员进行新冠预防培训的重要性。
