L’objectif principal de cette revue systématique était d’identifier, d’évaluer de manière critique et de synthétiser les résultats de la recherche afin d’obtenir une explication claire de la mise en œuvre et de la connaissance, de l’attitude et de la pratique (KAP) des directives de prévention et de contrôle des infections (IPC) parmi le personnel de laboratoire des hôpitaux.
Clinical laboratories provide diagnostic testing services to support the effective delivery of care in today’s complex healthcare systems. Processing clinical material and the use of chemicals or radiation presents potential hazard to laboratory workers, from both biological and chemical sources. Nevertheless, the laboratory should be a safe workplace if the identification of possible hazards, clear guidelines, safety rules and infection prevention and control (IPC) precautions are applied and followed. The main aim of this systematic review was to identify, critically appraise and synthesise the research evidence to gain a clear explanation of the implementation and knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of IPC guidelines among hospital laboratory staff.
