Pages

  63-67

Abstract

 Background: Dentists are at higher risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens including HBV (hepatitis B virus), HCV (hepatitis C virus), and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). The aim of this study was to evaluate the Knowledge about Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) against HBV/HCV/HIV among the general Dentists working in Mashhad in 2016. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a random sample (141 persons) of the general Dentists working in Mashhad. The data gathering tool in this study was a self-administered questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was assessed by a group of relevant specialists. The reliability of the questionnaire was also tested by a test-retest method with a two-week interval. The agreement between the two steps (test and retest) was at least 70%, and Cronbach’ s alpha was 0. 74. The total score of each person’ s Knowledge ranged from-20 to +20. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t test were used for statistical analyses. Results: Out of 141 Dentists selected randomly, 101 subjects (69. 3% male) participated in the study. The mean age of the participants was 42. 3 years, And the mean duration of dental practice experience was 16. 3 years. Regarding the mean age (P = 0. 11), and the mean duration of dental practice experience (P = 0. 12), there was no statistically significant difference between the two genders. The mean score of Knowledge among the participants was-2. 8, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two genders in this regard (P = 0. 72). Conclusions: This study indicated that the level of Knowledge about PEP against HBV/HCV/HIV was very low among the general Dentists working in Mashhad. Therefore, improving Knowledge of general Dentists working in Mashhad through appropriate educational interventions seems necessary.
