| dc.description.abstract | This study examined health care providers' knowledge of occupational blood hazards common to medical personnel in Oyo East local government, Oyo State: A descriptive research design of survey type was adopted for the study. The population of study comprised all medical personnel from Oyo East local government, Oyo state. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed in selecting ninety (90) respondents used for the study. A researcher designed questionnaire that had been. validated by experts in medical field was used to collect data for the study. A test-re-test procedure was used to obtain the reliability coefficient of 0.81r. In all, four (4) research hypotheses were formulated and tested with the use of chi-square (x²) statistical method at 0.05 alpha level of significance. The result of analysis showed that primary health care providers have sound knowledge of prevailing blood hazards in health industries. However, primary health care providers' knowledge of factors associated with occupational exposure to blood hazards in health industries is not adequate. Based on these findings, the study recommends that general health care workers in PHC centres should acquire knowledge on factors associated with blood hazards in the health industry and strictly adhere to universal precautions. Also, government should organize in-house training on post-exposure prophylaxis which should be taken seriously and be done on regular basis. | |
