INTRODUCTION
This study was conducted to assess the biosafety knowledge among laboratory staff working in Morocco.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted among all laboratory staff in public and private clinical diagnostic and research laboratories between December 5, 2018, and January 5, 2018. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire distributed via Google Form.
RESULTS
A total of 235 participants completed the study questionnaire with an estimated response rate of 19%. Overall, 79% of respondents had a high or intermediate level of knowledge. Only 17.4% had participated in prior formal biosafety training courses. The level of knowledge did not differ significantly with gender or activity sector, but it increased with work experience. Knowledge was generally intermediate for signage and principles of biosafety levels (42.1%), low for distinction between technical operations that could pose a risk by generating aerosols (30.2%), and high for wearing personal protective equipment and its components (92.8%). There was a very high level of knowledge on proper waste sorting (100%).
CONCLUSION
These findings underline the need for establishing a biosafety policy and strengthening biosafety training programs in laboratories in Morocco.
引言
本研究旨在评估摩洛哥实验室工作人员的生物安全知识。
方法
于2018年12月5日至2019年1月5日期间，对所有公立和私立临床诊断及研究实验室的工作人员开展了一项横断面研究。通过谷歌表单分发的自填式问卷收集数据。
结果
共有235名参与者完成了研究问卷，估计回复率为19%。总体而言，79%的受访者具备高或中级知识水平。只有17.4%的人曾参加过正规的生物安全培训课程。知识水平在性别或活动领域方面无显著差异，但随工作经验增加。生物安全标识和等级原则方面的知识一般处于中级水平（42.1%），可能产生气溶胶的技术操作风险区分方面的知识水平较低（30.2%），而个人防护装备及其组件穿戴方面的知识水平较高（92.8%）。正确垃圾分类方面的知识水平非常高（100%）。
结论
这些发现强调了摩洛哥实验室制定生物安全政策和加强生物安全培训计划的必要性。
