Abstract
This one-group pretest-posttest experimental study assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding universal precautions among hospital attenders at KMCT Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, and measured the impact of a structured teaching program.
¬¬Using convenience sampling, 55 attenders completed structured questionnaires, Likert scales, and opinionnaires before and after the intervention.
Pretest results showed low knowledge in 14.54%, moderate in 47.27%, good in 36.36%, and excellent in 1.81%; posttest improved to excellent knowledge in 49.09% and good in 36.36%. Attitudes shifted from low awareness (1.81% pretest) to high (61.86% posttest).
Practices were already high pretest (98.1%) and reached 100% posttest. Significant improvements in knowledge and attitudes were observed, with a statistically significant association between knowledge levels and gender.
Keywords: universal precautions, hospital attenders, structured teaching program, infection control, attitude, practice, knowledge
