Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
A questionnaire based study was under taken amongst 300 undergraduate medical students to assess the knowledge and practice on safety behaviour while attending practical classes in Microbiology laboratory From 2014-2015. The questionnaire was based on the domains of knowledge on personal protective measures, cleanliness, hand washing, disinfectants, use of disposable syringes and needles and disposals. The study revealed that practice of self safety behaviour was not very encouraging. Knowledge of majority of the students of II MBBS in different aspects of the above mentioned domains, especially for hand washing, was found to be poor which can be considered as an alarming signal for prevention of infection and contamination in future practice. The findings of the study indicate that there is a need to develop a system of continuous education for medical students on good laboratory practices and use of safety equipments.
