Received: June 2014, Accepted: February 2015 Background: Physicians and medical students are at risk of exposure to a broad range of viral pathogens through percutaneous injury, contact of mucous membrane with blood, and other potentially infectious body fluids. The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of physicians and medical students of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, regarding standard precautions. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional research based on a survey performed in 3 teaching hospitals affiliated with Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Subsequently, researchers distributed the questionnaires among the individuals who agreed to participate in the study. The participants were given instructions on completing the questionnaires. After completion of the questionnaires, they were collected and statistically processed with SPSS software using frequencies, percentages, the averages and standard deviations, and the independent ttest. All P values equal to or less than 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Results: The response rate in this study was 95%. The mean age of subjects was 27.6 ± 5.3 years. The majority of subjects were female (62.1%), single (66.3%), and medical interns (78.9%). Most subjects were untrained on standard precautions (64.5%). The mean and standard deviations of KAP scores were 37.6 ± 7.4 (out of 46), 32.6 ± 4.5 (out of 45), and 33.06 ± 6.5 (out of 44), respectively. The independent t-test showed significant differences between knowledge and practice scores and marital status. It also showed significant differences between the practice score and training on standard precautions (P < 0.05). Conclusions:The results showed that the knowledge score was desirable, but the attitude and practice scores were not desirable. Thus, educational programs with the foundation of bloodborne infections, infection control, safety recommendations, and different aspects of standard precautions are recommended.

“…This finding are slightly lower than a similar studies applying observational approaches done studying nurses in Italy and reported 65.2% and s similar study in the united States of America that established an observed compliance with the standard precautions of 62% [14,20,21]. This study demonstrated a significant positive change of +6.3% in compliance scores after an educational intervention to the study group from 61.3% to 67.6%.…”

“…In a previous study conducted at the same institution, neglect regarding the abandonment of disposable material in inappropriate places such as counters, beds and trays was also pointed out. 27 Despite the time elapsed, there was no perception of improvement by the workers, suggesting a lack of knowledge of health professionals about SP regarding the disposal of sharps. The occurrence of this fact was also identified in the literature in other countries.…”

“…The occurrence of this fact was also identified in the literature in other countries. 27 It is important to invest in training as recommended in NR32, but not only aimed at obtaining numerical indices for auditing purposes. It is necessary to review content in training, with approaches that provide the perception of occupational risk, with the awareness of professionals and students about the importance of maintaining safe environments in health institutions.…”

Objective: to analyze the working conditions perceived by nursing technicians and their relationship with accidents involving biological material. Method: this is a mixed, descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted in a public hospital. 275 professionals answered a questionnaire with questions related to the number of accidents, perception of working conditions and suggestions to minimize them. It is noted that the research was of simple random probability type, with proportional distribution in units and work shifts and the results presented from reports and tables. Results: 210 technicians claimed to have suffered an accident at work. It is revealed that the variables stressful work rhythm, monotony and influence of work on health were statistically significant, and the use of personal protective equipment and decreased overload were the measures most indicated by respondents. Conclusion: the analysis indicated a positive relationship between work overload and accidents with biological material. Although the institution makes personal protective equipment available to workers, there is strong evidence of non-use or partial use. It can be subsidized, by the instrument used in this research, managerial actions to readjust the work processes.

RESUMOObjetivo: analisar as condições de trabalho percebidas por técnicos de Enfermagem e sua relação com acidentes envolvendo material biológico. Método: trata-se de um estudo misto, descritivo, transversal, realizado em um hospital público. Elencaram-se 275 profissionais que responderam a um questionário com perguntas relacionadas ao número de acidentes, percepção das condições de trabalho e sugestões para minimizá-los. Detalha-se que a pesquisa foi do tipo probabilística aleatória simples, com distribuição proporcional nas unidades e turnos de trabalho e os resultados apresentados a partir de relatos e tabelas. Resultados: declarou-se, por 210 técnicos, ter sofrido acidente de trabalho. Revela-se que as variáveis ritmo de trabalho estressante, monotonia e influência do trabalho na saúde tiveram significância estatística, e o uso de equipamentos de proteção individual e diminuição da sobrecarga foram as medidas mais indicadas pelos respondentes. Conclusão: indicou-se, pela análise, relação positiva entre sobrecarga de trabalho e acidentes com material biológico. Percebe-se que, apesar de a instituição disponibilizar equipamentos de proteção individual aos trabalhadores, há forte indício do não uso ou uso parcial. Podem-se subsidiar, pelo instrumento utilizado nesta pesquisa, ações gerenciais para readequações dos processos de trabalho.
