“…9 Sağlık çalışanlarının HBV enfeksiyonunun bulaş yolları ve önlenmesi ile ilgili yeterli bilgi sahibi olmaması, korunma ve kontrol programlarını olumsuz etkileyebilir. 10 Literatürde diş hekimleri ve diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin HBV bilgi düzeyleri, tutum ve davranışlarının değerlendirildiği çalışmalara bakıldığında, sonuçların tatmin edici olmadığı görülmektedir. 11 Ülkemizde yapılan bir çalışmada ise diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin HBV bilgi düzeyleri iyi, klinikte standart enfeksiyon kontrolü ile ilgili davranışlarının orta ve tutumlarının kabul edilebilir olduğu rapor edilmiştir.…”

Hepatit B virüsü (HBV) enfeksiyonu, toplumumuzda yaygın olarak görülen ve dental işlemler yoluyla diş hekimlerinden hastalara ya da hastalardan diş hekimlerine bulaşabilen bir viral enfeksiyondur. Bu çalışmada, diş hekimliği fakültesi 4 ve 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin HBV enfeksiyonu ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerinin, bu konudaki tutum ve davranışlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Buna ek olarak, yüksek bulaşıcılık oranına sahip HBV, hepatit C virüsü (HCV) ve insan immün yetmezliği virüsü [human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)] seroprevalansları değerlendirildi. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel klinik araştırmada, gönüllülere demografik bilgiler, HBV hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri, tutum ölçeği ve davranış ölçeği olmak üzere 4 bölümden oluşan çevrim içi anket uygulandı. Öğrencilerin HBV, HCV ve HIV seroprevalanslarının değerlendirilmesinde ise ELISA testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: 4. Sınıf öğrencilerinin bilgi düzeyi skorları ile tutum puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık gözlendi (p=0,0001). Bilgi düzeyi yüksek olan öğrencilerin tutum puanı ortalamaları, bilgi düzeyi orta olan öğrencilerden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p=0,0001). 4. Sınıf öğrencilerinden bilgi düzeyi düşük olan öğrencilerin davranış puanı ortalamaları, bilgi düzeyi orta ve yüksek olan öğrencilerden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşük bulundu (p=0,012, p=0,001). 5. Sınıf öğrencilerinin ise bilgi düzeyi, tutum ve davranış puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık gözlenmedi (p=0,156, p=0,574). Sonuç: HBV genel bilgi seviyesi ve serolojik test sonuçları yeterli düzeyde görünse de kliniğe yeni başlayan 4. sınıf öğrencilerinden HBV enfeksiyonu hakkında bilgi düzeyi düşük olanların tutum ve davranışlarının daha yetersiz olduğu görüldü. Bu sonuç, sürekli enfeksiyon kontrolü eğitiminin gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.Anah tar Ke li me ler: Hepatit B virüsü; çapraz enfeksiyon; sağlık bilgisi, tutum, uygulama; eğitim ABS TRACT Objective: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a common viral infection in our society that can be transmitted from dentists to patients or from patients to dentists during the dental procedures. In this study, the aim was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of HBV virus infection among 4th and 5th grade students in School of Dentistry. Additionally, seroprevalences of highly contagious HBV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were evaluated. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional clinical study, an online questionnaire consisting of four parts: demographic information, knowledge of HBV, attitude scale and behavior scale was applied to the volunteers. The ELISA test was used to evaluate the students' HBV, HCV and HIV seroprevalences. Results: Significant difference was observed between knowledge scores of 4th grades and attitude scores (p=0.0001). Attitude score with high knowledge was found to be significantly higher with medium knowledge (p=0.0001). Average behavioral scores of 4th grade with low knowledge were foun...

Background: Saudi Arabia is considered to be an area of endemic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Among Saudi children, the overall HbsAg carrier rate dropped from 6.7% in 1989 to 0.3% in 1997 after mass HB vaccination program among adults prevalence is 0.22%. The prevalence varied by region, ranging from 0.03% to 0.72% with a mean incidence of 0.15%. Objectives: To determine level of knowledge about hepatitis B and its associated factors among school teachers at Al-Iskan sector in Makkah Al Mukarramah. Subjects and methods: A Cross-sectional community-based study was adopted. It included all-male school teachers in primary, intermediate and secondary stages at Al-Iskan sector in Makkah Al Mukarramah. A self-administered valid questionnaire was utilized for data collection. It included personal data, questions regarding etiology, epidemiology, symptomatology, risk factors, preventive measures and outcome of hepatitis B. Results: The research involved 137 medical students. Their age ranges among 21 and 28 years with an average of 23.0 and (±SD) of (±0.9) years. Slightly more than half of them (50.4%) were males. All students ever used Facebook and used it in the last year. Almost two-thirds of students (62.7%) checked their Facebook account daily whereas 5.1% checked it within a one-hour interval. Overall, based on the BFAS cutoff level, Facebook addiction was identified among 13 students representing 9.5% of the participants. Addiction was more reported among older students, p=0.038 and those who spent between 21 and 40% of their Facebook time on work-related issues, p=0.034. Conclusion: inadequacy of knowledge regarding HBV among teachers in Al-Iskan sector, Makkah in certain key areas of HBV. This lack of knowledge is a matter of concern since teachers could disseminate their information to young youth at schools.

BACKGROUND: Health care workers (HCWs) and hematological patients needing blood/ blood product transfusion are particularly vulnerable to blood born infections (BBI) including viral hepatitis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of these target groups regarding viral hepatitis B (HBV) transmission and its change with implementing infection control policy and procedures. METHODS: An anonymous questionnaire with closed questions was used to evaluate KAP including vaccination status in 2 target groups, in Children Hospital, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt: 184 nurses and 210 children and adolescents with blood diseases. One year after instituting infection control as a part of hospital procedures, the same questionnaire was reused to evaluate KAP towards HBV. RESULTS: Baseline knowledge regarding HBV transmission, sequelae and preventive measures, was poor in both groups. Among nurses, only 62% wore gloves on withdrawing or giving blood to patients, 43.5% routinely washed hands between patients and 37.5% reported exposure after sharp injury. Only 38% of patients and 40% of nurses received HBV vaccination. Targeted infection control policy and procedures significantly improved KAP regarding HBV in both groups. Vaccination coverage significantly increased and reached 88.7% for nurses and 72% for patients. CONCLUSIONS: Hospital based infection control units with established policy and procedures against BBI significantly improved KAP towards HBV including a significant increase in vaccination intake.
