Knowledge and Awareness Survey about Universal Safety Precautions among Undergraduate Medical and Dental Students
Journal Title: MGM JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim: Although crucial in prevention and transmission of bloodborne infections (BBI), the concept of universal safety precautions (USP) is disregarded by the medical professionals in their early career years, mainly due to the lack of knowledge and awareness regarding the same. This study, through a questionnaire survey, aimed to assess the awareness of the 1st year medical and dental students about USP and its application in daily practice.
