Insights Into Hepatitis B Awareness and Vaccination Trends Among Healthcare Providers: A Comprehensive Study
Our study found that while most HCWs understand hepatitis B and support vaccination, doctors exhibit superior knowledge compared to nurses and technicians. High adherence to prevention protocols is noted, but targeted educational interventions, such as workshops and continuous medical education, are needed to address knowledge gaps. Regular updates and mentorship programs can enhance understanding and foster a collaborative environment, leading to more effective hepatitis B prevention and improved patient care.
