HCWs' experiences with HBV PEP management reveal a complex interplay of structural, institutional, and psychological factors. Strengthening HBV-specific training, subsidizing vaccines, improving access to diagnostic tools, and reducing stigma are critical for enhancing PEP adherence. Findings inform policy and intervention strategies to protect HCWs in HBV-endemic settings.
