Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the patients’ knowledge about safety measures related to bloodborne diseases in haemodialysis units. There is a lack of knowledge of patients’ knowledge about safety measures related to blood-borne diseases in haemodialysis units. The lack of knowledge of patients in haemodialysis centres was the leading cause of blood-borne disease outbreaks. The general objective is to assess the patients’ awareness about safety measures related to blood-borne diseases in haemodialysis units. The study design is a descriptive study, which is hospital based-cross sectional study. The total number of the study subjects in this study revealed that the knowledge of patients’ knowledge in the haemodialysis centres regarding safety measures related to blood-borne diseases in haemodialysis units show a significant lack of knowledge about safety measures related to blood-borne diseases in haemodialysis units, P-value <0.0001. We recommend increasing study cases, More researches, Health education for patients about the route of transmission of blood-borne diseases, Use the posters which carry pictures learn the patients and new staff the good behaviours to avoid infection, Employ only qualified staff, Supervise the newly staff, Make regular training for staff, Provide well-equipped laboratories for virology screening. There are no limitations of this study starting in 100 subjects and ended by 100 subjects.
