Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Employees' occupational health and safety knowledge levels and practices have an important place in reducing the risk of occupational accidents. In this study, it was aimed to examine the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of senior medical students and research assistant doctors about occupational health and safety. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The design of the study is cross-sectional. The research was conducted between 18 - 30 September 2019. The population of the research is medical school senior students and research assistant doctors. The data were collected under observation And with an online questionnaire containing questions to determine the sociodemographic characteristics and occupational health and safety knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of the participants. RESULTS: 52.9% of the participants had a work accident, and 70.6% (n=142) of the participants made a report. Knowing what to do after risky contact with toxic medical wastes are statistically higher in research assistant doctors of three years or more than others (p:0.015). The state of knowing what to do after contact with blood and body fluids was statistically significant low in the first two years of residency (p:0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Although 90.5% of the participants received occupational health and safety training, it was determined that their knowledge about toxic medical wastes, contact with blood and body fluids was not sufficient. Occupational health and safety knowledge and skills will be increased with the revision of the training, where theory and practice are blended, skill-building and prioritized issues are predominant.
