Abstract

Objective: To describe the knowledge of medical solid waste management and identify some related factors of health workers at health stations of Soc Son District Health Center, Hanoi in 2022. Subjects and methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive study on the subject of all medical staff/workers working at 12 medical stations of Soc Son district health center. Results: 88.2% of health workers have been trained at least once on medical solid waste management; 84.3% have heard about Decision 43/2007/QD-BYT or Decision 58/2015/QD-BYT on regulations of medical solid waste management. The percentage of health workers with general knowledge accounted for 75.5%. In which, considering each stage in the process separately, knowledge about collection is almost absolute (95.1%), followed by knowledge about classification (92.2%), basic knowledge (66,7%), knowledge of handling and destruction (58.8%), knowledge of transportation and storage reached the lowest rate (31.4%). Significant factors related to the general knowledge of medical staff on solid waste management include training, professional expertise and gender. The results of multivariate analysis showed that the statistically significant related factors were gender and professional title, specifically, the group of female health workers had the correct knowledge 0.09 times that of the male group (p< 0.05) and the group of nurses, technicians, bachelors of public health and midwives had the correct knowledge 4.88 times higher than that of the group of doctors, pharmacists, and nurses (p<0.05). Conclusion: A large proportion of health workers at commune health stations have a general understanding of medical solid waste management, but knowledge about transportation and storage is still low, and training is needed.
