A master’s thesis was discussed in the College of Health and Medical Technologies within the Southern Technical University on assessing knowledge and behaviors towards preventing communicable diseases among health workers at Al-Sadr Teaching Hospital in Al-Najaf Governorate.
The study, presented by the student Ahmed Ali Mohammed, aims to assess the levels of knowledge and attitudes among health workers towards the prevention of communicable diseases.
In addition to determining the relationship between social democratic characteristics with the levels of knowledge and attitudes of the participants.
It included a cross-sectional analytical study in Al-Sadr Medical Hospital in Al-Najaf Governorate from mid-November 2021 until the end of June 2022. Data were collected from 384 questionnaires distributed randomly to health workers and analyzed statistically.
The study concluded that more than half of the health workers have good levels of knowledge and positive attitudes
Therefore, these levels need to be raised through continuous training courses on infection control by the Ministry of Health, especially since most of them are young and have few years of experience.
