Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices Towards Laboratory Safety Measures among Notre Dame of Marbel University Medical Technology Students
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
Medical technology personnel have increased susceptibility to occupational hazards due to lack of research on post-measurement of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) in the field. Hence, this quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the significance in measuring the level of KAP of second, third, and fourth year medical technology students of Notre Dame of Marbel University (NDMU). The study employed a random sampling technique and data collection utilized Google Forms. Further, data presentation and analysis used frequency distribution tables and one-way ANOVA respectively. The findings revealed that knowledge in association with age had a significant difference (p=0.044), specifically, between age groups 17 to 19 years old and 20 to 22 years old. Similarly, knowledge in terms of year level had a significant difference (p=0.040), particularly, between fourth year and second year respondents having a significant difference (p=0.030). Moreover, knowledge in terms of sex had no significant difference (p=0.126). In terms of attitude and practices on laboratory safety, there is no significant difference across respondents' demographics. Hence, evaluating issues in this study would significantly increase medical technology students' adherence to commendable biosafety protocols and laboratory practices.
