Abstract :

Objectives: To study effect of Module based training of Universal Safety Precautions among postgraduate resident doctors in tertiary care hospital. Methods: The Module of Universal Safety Precautions was prepared for training of 100 resident doctors. Pre and post test questionnaire was used to assess the effect of training on knowledge and attitude. The practice was observed at 1 month and 3 months using a checklist. The data was analysed using SPSS, MS Excel. Results: 92% of the senior medical teachers agreed with the lack of knowledge and practices of Universal Safety Precautions among resident doctors. Module was prepared with their inputs which had significant effect on the knowledge as well as attitude and practices of Universal Safety Precautions. (p = 0.00). Conclusion: Knowledge and compliance with universal safety precautions among highly exposed resident doctors was lacking. Elaborate training on universal precaution & commitment to safer work practices is needed.
