摘要

本研究旨在评估医护人员对乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎病毒(HBV和HCV)的知识和态度。来自里约热内卢州(巴西东南部)的266名HCW回答了一份工具,该工具包含17个研究病毒性肝炎知识的问题和12份关于HBV和HCV态度和行为的声明。HCW的平均知识水平被认为是令人满意的(平均知识得分为12.21±3.36),但几乎一半的HCW表现出低知识水平(得分低于12.21)。在既往接种过HBV疫苗的个体中观察到高知识水平。平均态度得分为39.06±10.47,显示出高度的积极态度,尤其是在既往有针刺损伤的牙医和专业人员中。总之,几乎一半的HCW对HBV和HCV的知识水平较低,发现了一些差距,表明在这种情况下,持续的病毒性肝炎教育对HCW的重要性。

Assessment of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Knowledge and Attitudes in a Sample of Health Care Workers from Southeast Brazil
This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitudes about hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV) in health care workers (HCW). A total of 266 HCW from Rio de Janeiro State (Southeast Brazil) answered an instrument containing 17 questions to study viral hepatitis knowledge and 12 statements regarding attitude and behavior about HBV and HCV. Mean HCWs’ knowledge level was considered satisfactory (mean knowledge score was 12.21 ± 3.36), but almost half of HCW presented low knowledge level (score lower than 12.21). High knowledge level was observed in individuals with previous HBV vaccination. Mean attitude score was 39.06±10.47 showing high level of positive attitudes, particularly among dentists and professionals who had previous needle stick injury. In conclusion, almost half of HCW had low level of knowledge about HBV and HCV and some gaps were identified showing the importance of continuous viral hepatitis education to HCW in this setting.
