Abstract

Introduction: Because of the special working conditions, healthcare workers are the most at-risk groups for HIV/AIDS. The aim of this study was to determine the KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE and PRACTICE of health/medical workers about HIV/AIDS.Methods & materials: We conducted a descriptive–analytical study of 235 samples (144 men, 91 women) of healthcare personnels in KHAF city. The sample was selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data collected anonymously through a questionnaire consisting of four sections, including; demographic information and questions about KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDEs and individual performance. The reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha (a=0.87). Data analyzed by SPSS 18 software using descriptive, analytical and t-test, c2 and regression methods.Results: Most of the study participants were male (61.27%). The average age of participants was 35.6±5.6. Most of the study participants were workers of health houses (17.9%). KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE and PRACTICE were different about HIV/AIDS depending on job nature. From the study population, 47.5% had good KNOWLEDGE, 37.1% had moderate and the other had poor KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDEs and behavior in lower-level positions in the health care system, which are also potentially at risk, are significantly lower (p˂0.005). KNOWLEDGE and PRACTICE was better among female than male staff.Conclusion: In general, KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE and PRACTICE level of health personnel was fairly good. A combination of training methods to improve KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDEs and preventive behaviors is needed in low-level jobs which do not have a college education.
