Abstract
Background: The prevention and control of
infectious diseases in anesthesia practice is an
important issue. The role of anesthetic personnel
needed to be done. The purpose of this study is to
assess the outcomes of the workshop on prevention
and control of infectious diseases in anesthesia
practice in Siriraj Hospital. Methods: The interventions
consisted of knowledge, basic intervention and
practical simulation on prevention and control of
infectious diseases. The evaluation consisted of
knowledge response and behavior change as well as
departmental outcome. The content validity of the
questionnaire and assessment of the interventions
were evaluated by an expert by using “normalized gain”.
Data were analyzed by using the descriptive statistics
including percentage as well as mean and standard
deviation. Results: Twenty seven residents in
anesthesiology and 39 anesthetic nurse students were
enrolled in the study. The study demonstrated that
the reaction in both groups was high. In all participants,
the learning after intervention was significantly
greater than the baseline. Additionally, the participant’s
behavior in both groups was acceptable. For department,
all interventions were completed except in hand
hygiene and washing time. Conclusion: The results
of the workshop on prevention and control of
infectious diseases for residents in anesthesiology
and anesthetic nurse students in anesthesia practice
in Siriraj Hospital is relatively high in all aspects.
In addition, the results of this study could be used
as indicators for improvement in routine anesthesia
practice. However, a sample size of the study is
relatively small. Further studies need to be confirmed.
