德里西南地区理发师对血源性病毒感染的知识、态度和做法

由于理发店是一般人群光顾的场所，理发店是传播BBVI和几种传染病的潜在媒介。缺乏知识和不适当的卫生习惯可导致感染的传播。在印度，关于理发师传播和预防BBVI的知识、态度和实践的研究数量有限。评估理发师对血源性病毒感染的知识、态度和做法及其与社会人口因素的关系。进行了一项基于工作场所的横断面研究，以了解德里西南地区理发师对血源性病毒感染的知识、态度和做法。共有150名理发师参与了这项研究。大多数理发师对BBVI的知识不甚了解(75.3%)，近四分之一的研究参与者对BBVI的知识了解一般(22.7%)，只有(2.0%)理发师对BBVI有良好的了解。大多数理发师对BBVI的态度和做法不佳(74.0%)，四分之一的研究参与者对BBVI的态度和做法一般(22.7%)，只有1名(0.7%)理发师对BBVI的态度和做法良好。大多数理发师对BBVI的知识、态度和做法都很差。知识、态度和实践对店铺的教育和注册有重要影响。
