Overview

Cross-sectional study assesses knowledge and practices of healthcare workers regarding post-exposure prophylaxis for hepatitis B virus in a resource-limited setting, highlighting training needs.

Key Points

  • Less than one-third of healthcare workers had adequate knowledge about post-exposure prophylaxis, pointing to significant gaps in education.
  • Despite a favorable attitude towards post-exposure prophylaxis, only 44.5% of respondents were vaccinated against hepatitis B virus.
  • A significant association exists between attending training and knowledge about post-exposure prophylaxis of hepatitis B virus.
  • The study emphasizes the need for formal training for healthcare workers regarding post-exposure prophylaxis to improve practices.
