Introduction: One of the most important occupational hazards that health care team members face is biological hazards caused by contacting with blood, body fluids, and other tissue samples that can cause the transmission of many contagious diseases. Therefore, considering the importance of reducing the occurrence of occupational hazards including biological hazards, the present study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude and performance of operating room students regarding biological hazard prevention strategies at Jiroft University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: This research was a cross-sectional descriptive study in which 70 students from the 4th, 6th and 8th semesters of the operating room technology field were selected and participated into the study. In this study, the level of knowledge, attitude and performance of operating room students regarding biological hazard prevention strategies was evaluated using a researcher-made observational questionnaire and checklist. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics independent t-Test, Mann-Whitney and one-way variance using SPSS software version 22.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of the knowledge score, attitude and performance of the operating room students regarding biological hazard prevention strategies were 33.7 ± 4.8, 48.6 ± 6.2 and 36.8 ± 4.6, respectively. Moreover, the performance was at an average level and the attitude score was at a favorable level. The findings show that there was a significant relationship between the knowledge score and performance with the academic semester. (p>0.05)
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, the level of knowledge and performance of operating room technology students is not in a favorable situation regarding biological hazard prevention strategies. Therefore, considering the importance of preventing and minimizing biological risks in the operating room, teaching the necessary strategies to the students of the operating room seems necessary to improve their level of knowledge and performance.
