Effectiveness of Behavioral Interventions for Managing Occupational Exposure to Sharps and Body Fluids Among Healthcare Workers.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of behavioral change interventions on healthcare workers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to bloodborne pathogen exposure in Ethiopian hospitals.
Methods: A controlled pre/post cross-sectional study was conducted in four hospitals using structured questionnaires. Interventions included training and capacity-building, guided by the Health Belief Model and Social Cognitive Theory.
Results: Composite scores for knowledge and practices increased significantly. Knowledge rose from 914 to 1226 (p = 0.03), with marked improvements in risk perception (31% to 80%, p < 0.001) and understanding post-exposure policy (44% to 73%, p < 0.001). Safety practices increased from 990 to 1409 (p = 0.05). Exposure reporting rose from 22% to 72% (p < 0.001), and use of the prevention guide from 55% to 89% (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Behavioral interventions enhanced knowledge and exposure management practices.
