- W2941167577 abstract "Good adherence to standard precautions and infection prevention and control (IPC) practices in healthcare settings has been identified as an important factor in the control of potential outbreaks of Lassa fever within the hospital setting. Poor health care workers’ (HCWs) knowledge of the disease and infection control techniques is a major contributing factor to hospital-acquired Lassa infection. A cross sectional study to assess the knowledge, attitude and IPC practices was conducted among 294 HCWs in Edo State, Nigeria. Data was collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire and the assessment was done using defined scoring systems. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. Associations between variables were assessed using Chi-square test with a significance level set at p<0.05. The proportions of respondents with good knowledge, good attitude and good IPC practices among HCWs were 4.4%, 63.3% and 41.2% respectively. Type of facility and cadre of HCW were significantly associated with knowledge of IPC. IPC practices were found to be poor among over 50% across all cadres of study participants. Type of facility, cadre and duration of work were all significantly associated with practice of IPC. Majority of health workers had fair knowledge of and good attitude towards Lassa fever prevention and control. Conclusively, this study found that IPC practices were generally poor among HCWs in the study area. Information, education and communication on Lassa fever prevention and control should be enhanced and sustained in all public and private health facilities across Edo State." @default.
