“…Our results also showed that sociodemographic variables such as age, sex, and training were not associated with attitude towards infection control standard precautions. This is in agreement with studies conducted in Nigeria [37], Turkey [50], and the Eastern province of the KSA [51]. On the contrary, we found that HCWs having more than 6 years of experience were more likely to have a positive attitude when compared with the less experienced ones.…”

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) contribute to increased length of hospital stay, higher mortality and higher health-care costs. Prevention and control of HAIs is a critical public health concern. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of standard infection control precautions among health-care workers (HCWs) in Qassim, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional online survey among HCWs was conducted using a structured questionnaire. Predictors of KAP were investigated using multivariate logistic regression analyses and independent sample t-tests. A total of 213 HCWs participated in the survey. The prevalence of good (≥80% correct response) knowledge, attitude, and practice were 67.6%, 61.5%, and 73.2%, respectively. The predictors of good knowledge included the age of the HCWs (>34 years) (adjusted odds ratio: 30.5, p < 0.001), and training (13.3, p < 0.001). More than 6 years of work experience was a significant predictor of having a positive attitude (5.5, p < 0.001). While the predictors of good practice were having >6 years of experience (2.9, p < 0.01), previous exposure to HAIs (2.5, p < 0.05), and training (3.5, p < 0.01). However, being female (0.22, p < 0.001) and older (>34 years) (0.34, p < 0.01) were negatively associated with knowledge. Results indicate that arranging training for HCWs might be useful in improving their knowledge of standard infection control precautions and is also expected to facilitate positive attitude and practice.

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) contribute to increased length of hospital stay, high mortality and higher health-care costs. Prevention and control of HAIs is a critical public health concern. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 213 hospital health-care workers in Qassim, Saudi Arabia. We assessed Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of standard infection control precautions using a structured questionnaire. Predictors of KAP were investigated using multivaraible logistic regression analyses and independent sample t tests. Prevalence of good (≥80% correct response) knowledge, attitude and practice were 67.6%, 61.5% and 73.2%, respectively. Predictors of good knowledge included age over 34 years (adjusted odds ratio: 30.5, p<0.001), and receiving training (13.3, p<0.001). Predictor of positive attitude was having >6 years of experience (5.5, p<0.001). While, the predictors of good practice were having >6 years of experience (2.9, p<0.01), previous exposure to HAIs (2.5, p<0.05) and training (3.5, p<0.01). However, being female (0.22, p<0.001) and older (>34 years) (0.34, p<0.01) were negatively associated with knowledge. Results indicate that older academic programs might not have adequately covered infection crontrol. Arranging training for HCWs might be useful in improving their knowledge of standard infection control precautions and is also expected to facilitate positive attitude and practice.

Every year, the relevance of developing oil rims, which were not previously involved in development due to the need to use expensive technologies, is growing. However, at present time the development of oil rims is determined by the depletion of light oil reserves. The massive gas cap and the high gas factor in oil rims don't allow to accurately determine the possibility of developing an oil rim in the depletion drive. The aim of the article is to develop a tool for evaluating the effectiveness of the development of boundary oil rims in the depletion drive. The key geological and physical factors that have the greatest impact on the efficiency of the development of oil rims were identified; analogous deposits were analyzed, on the basis of which geological and hydrodynamic models were built. We evaluated the role and influence of studied factors, such as permeability, angle of inclination of the oil rim, volume of the gas cap, thickness of the oil rim. A tool has been developed to assess the effectiveness of the development of boundary oil rims in the depletion drive and the use of the tool has been demonstrated.
