Background and Objectives. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are the frontline warriors of the battle against COVID-19 and are at high risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among HCWs play a vital role in preventing and spreading COVID-19. Hence, the current study aimed to assess KAP among HCWs regarding COVID-19. Methods. This descriptive, cross-sectional study enrolled 171 HCWs of a national institute in North India. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess KAP among HCWs regarding COVID-19. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to compare and represent the level of association of KAP scores among HCWs. Results. Among HCWs (n=171), 106 (61.98%) were males, and 65 (38.01%) were females. Most (n=76; 44.44%) belonged to the 20-29 age group. The mean±S.D score of HCWs for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 42.76±2.14, 28.91±1.59 and 20.38±1.46, respectively. Excellent knowledge, attitude, and practice score were found in 66.1%, 69.1%, and 97.1% of HCWs, respectively. Knowledge score was maximum in resident doctors (44.09±1.13); however, multi-tasking staff (29.35±1.44), laboratory technicians (29.31±1.21), and ward boys (29.29±1.59) had better attitude scores. Nurses (28.44±1.69) and safaikaramacharis (28.11±1.96) had low attitude scores. The practice score of nurses and multi-tasking staff fared well than resident doctors. Knowledge and attitude scores were statistically associated with the profession and higher level of education. Conclusion. The study highlights that most HCWs have good KAP regarding COVID-19. Continuous dissemination of education on the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 is advised among HCWs to improve their knowledge. Hence, it will strengthen the health workforce in the battle against COVID-19.

The problem and the aim of the study. Safety of university laboratories is of paramount importance. Performing hands on in a university laboratory can be considered as work with lower risks if compared with other processes in the industries. Yet, it is revealed that there are still many accidents that results in injuries or even fatalities to the staffs and students. More effort particularly in laboratory management is required to minimize the occurrence of laboratory accidents. Research methods. This study evaluated perception of laboratory technicians working in several university electrical and electronic laboratories located in the four states of Northern Region of Malaysia regarding the implementation, effectiveness and challenges on the implementation of 5S practice using cross-sectional survey. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire that has been developed and validated by four experts with background of occupational safety. Population of this study was 111 electrical and electronic laboratory technicians from universities in Northern Region of Malaysia. Questionnaire was distributed to all the laboratory technicians and the response rate was 76.6%, where 85 laboratory technicians returned the questionnaire. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the perception of laboratory technicians among the four states. The level of significance is 0.05. Results. Around 54% of the respondents have more than 3 years working experience 59% of the electrical and electronic laboratories in the Northern Region of Malaysia have an average usage of 10 to 20 hours per week, with 81% have an average of 2 to 4 courses per semester. Approximately 49% of the electrical and electronic laboratories occupied 21 to 30 students per session. Kruskal-Wallis H test for the implementation of 5S practice showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the four states but the test reported statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of at least one pair of groups for effectiveness and challenges of 5S practice. Dunn-Bonferroni post hoc test was employed to further identify the states that were different significantly in the mean rank of scores. Conclusion. Findings from this study give information about the level of implementation, effectiveness and challenges faced by the laboratory technicians working in several university electrical and electronic laboratories located in Northern Region of Malaysia. It can be seen that the knowledge delivered to the students might be similar in the implementation of 5S practice, resulting in a similar level of implementation. Intriguingly, effectiveness of 5S practice resulting from similar implementation of 5S practice in the electrical and electronic laboratories was not the same as it might be affected by other factors. Future study will be focusing on understanding the challenges faced by the laboratory technicians so that the authorities such as the university management could identify the challenges faced by the laboratory technicians in their own university while taking appropriate actions to support the implementation of 5S practice in the laboratory.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health burden with a high economic cost to health systems. Objectives: To determine the knowledge and practices regarding end-stage renal disease and hemodialysis (HD) among dialysis technicians. Patients and Methods: Total of 157 technicians participated in a study carried out at Ahmedabad city of Gujrat state. A validated written questionnaire was distributed among dialysis technicians who gave their consent to participate in the study and responded questionnaires were analyzed. Data entry was made in Excel software in codes and analysis was conducted by SPSS software version 17.0 Results: Out of 157, 113 participants were routinely using online clearance monitoring. Around, 19.1% carried out disinfection of water loop once per week, while 23.6% and 28% were doing it once in 15 days and 30 days respectively. Reverse osmosis (RO) plant parameters like pH, hardness of water, chlorine content were checked once daily by 46.5% of technicians while 17.8% and 24.2% technicians were doing it once a week and once a month respectively. About 87.3% of technicians said that dialyzer was reused at their center. Accordingly, 33.8% and 51.6% of technicians were using formalin and per-acetic based disinfectants for dialyzer reprocessing. Additionally 7.6% of technicians were using hypochlorite as disinfectant at their center. Around 63.7% of technicians said they were not reprocessing dialyzers of HCV positive patients. They preferred to use single dialyzers in these subsets of patients at their center. Around, 79.6% of technicians said that endotoxin filter was installed in their dialysis unit. Likewise, 45.9% knew correctly the permissible level of endotoxin in RO water used for HD. Only 15.3% of technicians had correct knowledge of permissible level of bacteria in treated RO water as per association for the advancement of medical instrumentation (AAMI) standards. Conclusion: Better knowledge and awareness about dialysis standards among dialysis technicians will help in better patient’s care. Effective dialysis education campaign needs to be driven at regular intervals with relevant information among dialysis technicians to address the knowledge gap.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Beginning in the 1920s, many Canadian hospitals underwent an extensive period of modernization. A wide variety of workers, generally termed "allied health professionals," began to work alongside physicians and nurses. This paper examines the history of two such groups, x-ray and laboratory technicians, paying particular attention to the ways in which technical education was transformed and, through this transformation, new occupational identities forged. Initially, those who staffed the laboratory and x-ray departments were given quick, practical instruction. In many cases, these workers continued to work in various settings across the hospital. The informal instruction of the 1920s and 1930s was displaced by formal, accredited training programs, replete with national examinations linked to a practice registry in the 1940s. Hospital administrators, the Canadian Medical Association and technicians themselves were all engaged in this transformation. At the same time, national organizations such as the Canadian Society of Laboratory Technologists or the Canadian Society of Radiological Technicians, founded in the late 1930s and early 1940s respectively, attempted to create a common professional identity with a clear scope of practice. Despite this, technical workers' professional identity remained malleable and highly dependent upon context long after the creation of supposedly national accreditation standards.

Full textAbstract:
The virtual medical laboratory (VML) was conceived to provide an Internet-accessible resource, offering access for clinicians and scientists to an invaluable data archive at the Institute of Laryngology and Otology, London. The Institute is home to the largest collection of temporal bone, laryngeal, skull and sinus sections in Europe. The skull and sinus collections include an extensive section consisting of animal material. These were contributions from zoos around the world. Over the last 50 years, samples have been carefully sectioned and stained by specialized technicians to produce histology slices of most regions of the head and neck. The aim of the project is to create a virtual medical laboratory, which will provide access to archived histological material as well as computerized tomography and magnetic resonance data. Central to this aim is the reconstruction of the internal anatomy of the temporal bone from two-dimensional histology slices, to create three-dimensional views that can be used for anatomical simulation and surgical training in otolaryngology. State-of-the-art three-dimensional reconstruction and rendering technology allows us to develop such a model. Computer-generated simulation could be made available to all hospitals in which otolaryngology is practised, via digital communication networks. We aim to develop core technology in our own specialty that is applicable to other fields of higher education, which have not been exposed to such modern teaching modalities. This has the potential to become an invaluable teaching resource for anatomists, surgeons and other scientists.

The main purpose of this study was to explore the factors that affect grade10 students‟ academic achievement in science education at Ilu Aba Bora Zone of General Secondary Schools. To attain this objective, descriptive survey research method was employed. The subjects of the study were 360 (172 male and female 155 students, 25 science teachers, 2 laboratory technicians and 6 school principals). Stratified sampling followed by simple random sampling (lottery method) technique was employed to select the sample students, purposive sampling technique was used to select the schools and availability sampling method was employed for science subject teachers, laboratory technicians and school principals. To gather the necessary data, questionnaire, and interview, observation and document analysis were used. The gathered information was analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis. The result of the study showed that students were stagnantly engaged in traditional methods of teaching science education. Of major teaching science methodologies, small group (one to five) discussion (M = 4.0) method was the most dominant approach followed by gapped-lecture and whole class discussion, which are not pedagogically supported in teaching science education of the modern time. Out of laboratory sessions, with statistically no significant difference between male and female students, they favored science education negatively and poorly involved in practicing it. 85.97% of activities in science educations of grade 9 and 10 were absolutely not done in the laboratory, which hinder students‟ understanding to handle science education easily. The study also revealed that, non-proficiency in English Language becomes an obstacle for students to grasp the concepts of science education. Although the professional supports of science teachers to their students were relatively fair (M = 3.2), they have not used their maximum potential to implement science education effectively. Parental involvement, peer pressure, schools support (regular attendance, providing facilities, evaluating the effectiveness of teaching learning, giving guidance) and other stakeholders commitment to enhance students‟ science education were very near to the ground. Lastly, absence of laboratory chemicals, rooms, apparatuses, technicians and well organized laboratory manuals were negatively affected the effective implementation of science education and students‟ academic achievement as well. Thus, based on the findings of the study, recommendations were forwarded to alleviate the aforementioned problems.

Teaching has become a challenge mission among generations as direct instructions are not effective anymore and; therefore, students need to be convinced for sharing and fulfilling their responsibilities. In this study, students are perceived to act as role models in managing the laboratory classes of general biology. Four groups were classified as co-lecturers, co-technicians, safety group, and green team. This experiment was evaluated by both students and staff team. The results showed that the most effective group was the co-lecturer as it showed high level of cooperation, work with love, truth, motivate others, and team management. The advantages of this experiment were more likeable as compared to the disadvantages; although, participants suggest that more information is needed to improve the group work.

(1) Background: The success of prosthetic treatment with implant support depends on the combined effort of the team doctor-technician, each of them being responsible for the validation of execution stages. (2) Methods: we composed an online questionnaire with 18 multiple choice questions, using the Google Forms application. It was filled out by an equal number of prosthodontic specialists and dental technicians. Differences and associations were evaluated by Likelihood Ratio test, Linear by Linear association test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Pearson Chi-Square test and the Fisher’s Exact test. (3) Results: Differences and similarities were found between the statements of prosthodontic specialists and dental technicians. Years of experience are correlated with the number of restorations, impression techniques and types of restoration (p ≤ 0.05). Similar answers for both groups were registered for preferred screw retained type of prosthetic abutment and most frequently reported complications. (4) Conclusions: The different perspectives of the two members of the prosthodontic team regarding the leading role in the treatment plan, type of abutment, impression technique and prosthetic design of implant fixed restorations has been revealed in our study. Similar education curricula and standards for continuing training courses after graduation are necessary for prosthodontic specialists and technicians in Romania.

Abstract Present paper aims to give an insight in the field of Mechatronics, specifically its standard of education in India. We have investigated this field right from its origin. We have analyzed how it expanded as a proper discipline of engineering and in which direction the development in this field is going now and, at the same time, its status of education in India and where we are in addressing the industry’s need both in terms of quality and quantity of students. We have also assessed why Mechatronics is an essential branch considering its multi-disciplinary nature. The pount is that it holds blatant importance for time to come. Life’s most complicated problems cannot be addressed by the knowledge of only one engineering science. In today’s world we need professionals who are “good jack(s) of all trades and master(s) of one” changing the old saying. For implementing this edited saying students will need to address real-world problems, so laboratory-based learning should be even more emphasized in this branch. Consequently, we have also looked on the laboratory works that are included in these courses, considering what aspects should be covered in them. Skillsets required by students such as implementation of hardware, coding, system modeling have been also discussed. Future prospects in this discipline have also been explored. The epilogue consists in recommendations to educational institutions based on our findings.

Background: The Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) in Andhra Pradesh, India, introduced TrueNat™ MTB/Rif, a rapid molecular test for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and rifampicin (RIF) resistance at 193 TB units (TUs) in October 2018. We evaluated its impact on TB diagnosis and assessed the operational feasibility of its deployment at point-of-care (POC) settings.Methods: We compared the number of presumptive TB cases tested and the number (proportion) of microbiologically positive before (January–August 2018) and after (January–August 2019) the deployment of TrueNat. We interviewed laboratory technicians and Senior TB Laboratory Supervisor from 25 randomly selected TUs to assess operational feasibility.Results: In 2018, 10.5% (range 8.9–13.1) of 245,989 presumptive cases tested were positive. In 2019, of the 185,435 presumptive cases tested, 13.7% (range 9.6–18.9) were positive. The proportion of presumptive TB cases in whom MTB was detected using TrueNat was 14.4% (range 10.0–21.2). TrueNat significantly increased case detection (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.30; 95%CI 1.15–1.46), yielding an additional 18 TB cases per 100 000 population. Laboratory technicians became comfortable in performing TrueNat after a median of 10 tests (interquartile range 5–17.5). Invalid reports declined from 6.8% to 3.6%.Conclusion: The deployment of TrueNat as POC diagnostic test improved case detection and was operationally feasible under RNTCP.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The practice of pharmacy and role of pharmacists has evolved over the decades but markedly since the introduction of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010. The ACA allowed patients to have increased access to community pharmacy services, such as medication therapy management, leading to an increase in the clinical services provided by pharmacists. This expansion of pharmacist’s roles has led to pharmacists to feel an increase in workload which negatively impacts the time spent with patients. One way for this shift to occur without continuing to increase the pharmacist’s workload is by using technicians as pharmacist extenders to take on more technical tasks.
Summary: The role of pharmacy technicians has been slow to expand from fear of public safety due to the lack of required education and training. Today, state requirements to practice as a pharmacy technician have become stricter with state requiring licensing, registration or certification. This increase in requirements as led to the expansion of pharmacy technician duties. Studies show that pharmacy technicians are able to perform technician accuracy checking, provide immunization and perform Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-waived screenings. In addition to these duties, pharmacy technicians are being utilized in more novel ways such as collecting medication information in primary care and telepharmacy settings.
Conclusion: In order for pharmacy to continue to grow as a profession, pharmacists need to use pharmacy technicians as extenders. As pharmacy technicians begin to take on more of the technical duties, pharmacists are able to increase the time spent with patients.

Polytechnic is a university that organizesvocational education in various science and technology clusters.The learning process in polytechnic is dominated by practicumthat is 70% and 30% theory. The amount of laboratorypercentage affects the large number of laboratory. Eachlaboratory has a laboratory responsible (technician) in charge ofrecording and monitoring the completeness and condition of thepracticum equipment. Tools and materials used in the process ofpracticum is an asset and laboratory inventory that must alwaysbe maintained and checked the condition of the equipment. InUjung Pandang State Polytechnic (PNUP) in terms of assetmonitoring and practicum inventory is still done manually.Therefore need to make an application to monitor assets andlaboratory inventory, especially on campus two. It is known thatsince 2014 there are three departments that have implementedthe teaching and learning process in two campuses includingseveral laboratories have also been transferred to the twocampuses, such as electrical engineering majors, majoring inbusiness administration and accounting majors. So with thisapplication will greatly help technicians because no longer do thereporting or request tool manually and with this application inmonitoring the condition of the tool is damaged and tools thatneed further improvement more easily and can be quicklyupdated.

Introduction: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at a high risk of acquiring hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection through occupational exposure which is preventable through hepatitis B vaccination. Aims: Therefore, we aim to establish the seroprevalence of anti-Hepatitis B surface (anti-HBs) antibody in the HCWs in a tertiary care setup to assess the level of protection that workers in these high-risk zones have. Methods and Material: Serum specimens from participants were tested at the Microbiology laboratory of ESIC Medical College & Hospital, Faridabad. Three ml of venous blood was collected aseptically in a vacutainer. The serum anti-HBs titre was detected by Enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) using the Monolisa Anti-HBs PLUS (Bio-Rad) as per manufacturer’s instruction. Results: Of the 218 HCWs included, 145 (66.51%) were vaccinated, and 73 (33.49%) were unvaccinated. HCWs were grouped into five categories which comprise doctors from all disciplines (n=53), nursing staff (n=50), technicians (n=52), nursing orderly (NO) (n=34),and housekeeping (n=29). Among various groups of HCWs, the vaccination rate was highest among doctors (96.23%) than the other groups. While comparing the anti-HBs titre among the unvaccinated HCWs, it has been seen that out of 73 (33.49%) HCWs, majority of the NO (76.47%) were having titre below 10 mIU/ml followed by housekeeping (73.68%), technicians (70.58%), and nursing staff (33.33%). Conclusions: All HCWs should be regularly screened for HBs antigen along with administration of a booster dose and monitoring of anti-HBs titre.

Full textAbstract:
Concepts for Lean Laboratory OrganizationIn the last decades, hospital laboratories are beset on all sides by demands to lower the costs of laboratory procedures and at the same time to provide (i) more rapid and usable services, (ii) a broader spectrum of parameters, and (iii) process a higher frequency of specimens. These demands are voiced by patients, physicians, hospital administrators, and governmental agencies. Thus, laboratory management is required to decrease costs, increase efficiency, and promote customer satisfaction under the consideration of quality to be of primary importance. Beside the main task of a laboratory (i.e. the analysing of patient specimens, interpretation of results, expert advice for clinicians), quality management, education of technicians and medical staff, research and development, and development of economic strategies are important duties and responsibilities. A lean laboratory organisation is an important condition to cope these duties. Lean laboratory concepts have to include the preanalytical, analytical and postanalytical period. Strategic planning decisions have to be based primarily on information derived from the external environment and have to be long-term. Lean laboratory concepts always have a holistic view, including medical demands and economic aspects. An example will be shown of how lean laboratory concepts influence the organisation, efficacy and performance of a hospital laboratory.

The article highlights the results of the organization of laboratory work using a modern digital training panel on electricity in a laboratory workshop on physics, which was developed and manufactured in Lutsk by the R & D center Mirroschool. As a result of the research, we proposed a method of organizing laboratory work in physics using a training panel. The article contains a fragment of laboratory work in physics, which allows to intensify the cognitive activity of students in teaching physics. The guidelines will be useful primarily for physics teachers and instructors who conduct laboratory work and demonstrations on electricity, laboratory technicians in physical laboratories who work with physical equipment, and will be useful to students who master the knowledge of experimental science. The training panel on electricity fully provides training rooms for physical classrooms, laboratories and training facilities in the section «Electrodynamics», which are used in the school curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. The panel can be used by both teachers and lecturers in higher education institutions. Of course, laboratory work and demonstrations of general secondary education institutions are quite easy to modernize and adapt, which allows you to use other training panels that are presented in the market of educational equipment. But when it comes to higher education or colleges, the list of laboratory work can be significantly reduced, or simply have to use additional educational equipment and laboratory workshops. The electric training panel is a modern, school, educational equipment, which, among other things, successfully agrees with the educational norms of the new Ukrainian school and STEM education. The panel meets all requirements: language legislation, education standards, compliance with sanitary legislation, fire and electrical safety, health care requirements, etc. Also, all consumables are available for purchase in Ukraine. Key words: laboratory work, demonstration, method, training panel, education.

Objective: Needlestick injuries are important for healthcare workers due to their morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the risk group of needlestick injuries (NSIs) among healthcare workers, and possible risk groups, actions, and prevention practices of the healthcare workers. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 249 healthcare workers(doctors, nursing staff, laboratory technicians and the cleaning personnel) in a tertiary care pediatric hospital in Turkey. Results: Among the 249 healthcare workers, there were 35 physicians, 124 nursing staff, 11 laboratory technicians and 79 cleaning personnel. Seventy (28.1%) were males, 179 (71.9%) were females. The most common equipment associated with needlestick injury were syringe needles ( 54.6 %), followed by intravenous cannula (peripheral catheter) (17.2%). In 103 (41.2%) cases, the injury occurred during use of the needle, with the greater part of injuries (24%) while establishing a venous access. Most healthcare workers experienced hand injuries (%82.7). Conclusion: This study revealed that the high risk group for needlestick injury was nurses followed by the cleaning personnel. Healthcare workers did not take the necessary measures for themselves. Needlestick injuries could be prevented easily by increasing the use of needles when needed, increasing awareness for using devices with safety features, promoting education and safe work practices for needles and related systems.

Background: Chronic musculoskeletal pain is prevalent among laboratory technicians and work-related stress may aggravate the problem. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of a multifaceted worksite intervention on pain and stress among laboratory technicians with chronic musculoskeletal pain using individually tailored physical and cognitive elements. Study Design: This trial uses a single-blind randomized controlled design with allocation concealment in a 2-armed parallel group format among laboratory technicians. The trial “Implementation of physical exercise at the Workplace (IRMA09) – Laboratory technicians“ was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov prior to participant enrolment. Setting: The study was conducted at the head division of a large private pharmaceutical company’s research and development department in Denmark. The study duration was March 2014 (baseline) to July 2014 (follow-up). Methods: Participants (n = 112) were allocated to receive either physical, cognitive, and mindfulness group-based training (PCMT group) or a reference group (REF) for 10 weeks at the worksite. PCMT consisted of 4 major elements: 1) resistance training individually tailored to the pain affected area, 2) motor control training, 3) mindfulness, and 4) cognitive and behavioral therapy/education. Participants of the REF group were encouraged to follow ongoing company health initiatives. The predefined primary outcome measure was pain intensity (VAS scale 0 – 10) in average of the regions: neck, shoulder, lower and upper back, elbow, and hand at 10 week follow-up. The secondary outcome measure was stress assessed by Cohen´s perceived stress questionnaire. In addition, an explorative dose-response analysis was performed on the adherence to PCMT with pain and stress, respectively, as outcome measures. Results: A significant (P < 0.0001) treatment by time interaction in pain intensity was observed with a between-group difference at follow-up of -1.0 (95%CI: -1.4 to -0.6). No significant effect on stress was observed (treatment by time P = 0.16). Exploratory analyses for each body region separately showed significant pain reductions of the neck, shoulders, upper back and lower back, as well as a tendency for hand pain. Within the PCMT group, general linear models adjusted for age, baseline pain, and stress levels showed significant associations for the change in pain with the number of physical-cognitive training sessions per week (-0.60 [95%CI -0.95 to -0.25]) and the number of mindfulness sessions (0.15 [95%CI 0.02 to 0.18]). No such associations were found with the change in stress as outcome. Limitations: Limitations of behavioral interventions include the inability to blind participants to which intervention they receive. Self-reported outcomes are a limitation as they may be influenced by placebo effects and outcome expectations

Background: Revised and redefined biomedical waste management (BMWM) rules 2016 are an area of immediate focus for the health care personnel amidst the menace created by improper disposal of health care waste, emergence of multi drug resistant superbugs and harmful emissions.Methods: The present cross sectional study was conducted in Rajiv Gandhi Super speciality hospital, Tahirpur, an upcoming referral hospital in east Delhi, India. The study was merged with the training sessions conducted in 13 phases. A self-administered questionnaire pertaining to biomedical waste management rules 2016 knowledge, awareness and practices was used for data collection.Results: Of the 100 respondents consisted of 50 doctors, 30 nurses and 20 technicians, about 54% of HCP were aware about modifications in waste categories. Approximately 42% of the respondents could define sharp waste correctly while 56% had the clarity of changed specifications of BMW bags. Safe injection practices were followed by 47%.Conclusions: Doctors were aware that there had been revision in the biomedical waste management rules in 2016 and its legal aspect but nursing staff was better in the practical implications of the same while the technicians lagged behind in both. It is of prime importance to reinforce comprehensive teaching programmes, spot trainings for the staff and continuous medical education in our hospital setting.

Development and economic growth are based on a healthy nation. A lot of attentions are needed to improve health conditions by providing necessary facilities through better infrastructure and medical professionals. Public health facilities continue to face staff shortage as over 85% specialist doctors, 75% doctors, 80% laboratory technicians, 53% nursing, and 52% ANM (auxiliary nurse midwife) short across states.At the same time when the prevalence of infectious diseases has increased worldwide over a period. Outbreaks have frequently been occurring, but every outbreak does not reach global pandemic level as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has. Although the number of COVID-19 cases are gradually increasing in India, experts have warned that this spread will lead to a rapid and massive increase in demand for health facilities. India's healthcare infrastructure is incapable of dealing with today’s crisis. In India, there is a significant shortage in the availability of beds in hospitals. It is only in recent years that India increased its bed capacity from 0.7 beds per thousand, in 2011, to 1.13 today. According to data from the National Health Profile-2019, we observed there are 7,13,986 total government hospital beds available in India; however, it is still insufficient to deal with this crisis. There are only 118 governments approved laboratories in India capable of performing COVID-19 tests so far.

Assessment in health sciences education has become an extremely critical issue in recent years, given the rapidlychanging disease patterns and behavioral changes in communities among diverse cultural and economic contexts ofpatients. Globally, there is increasing demand for highly qualified contemporary healthcare professionals.Subsequently, learner assessment regimes need to have the capacity to accurately evaluate the competences (i.e.attitudes, skills and knowhow) acquired during the training of healthcare professionals. This paper provides ananalysis of assessment of and for learning in health sciences education with a focus on clinical laboratory training atMLT in Uganda. This study utilized both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The program evaluationdesign principles were also utilized to measure the levels of compliance towards attainment of curriculum outcomes.The instruments used during data collection included checklists, questionnaires, indepth interviews, and focus groupdiscussions (FDGs). The findings of this study showed that learners were achieving the intended curriculumobjectives progressively. The assessment tools used were prepared through a rigorous process to ensure that the basicprinciples of assessment are identified and integrated during curriculum design and implementation. Results of thestudy also showed that adequate institutional administrative support available enhanced the teaching and learningprocesses and ensured that appropriate curriculum assessment schedules and strategies were strictly followed asstated in the elements of the curriculum structures.This contributed meaningfully in preparing competentcontemporary healthcare professionals (clinical laboratory technicians). It was recommended that all healthcareprofessional training institutions should take the use of aunthetic assessment of and for learning very seriously.

Universities play an important role in society. On the other hand, more and more governments and international organizations are concerned about the environment. Thus, both in their educational programs and research, as well as in the case of public exhibitions, universities are increasingly including subjects related to the environment and its preservation. In the case of Spain, there are fewer university students than ten years ago (from approximately 140,000 to fewer than 130,000), and the number of students interested in technical and scientific degrees has equally decreased. Consequently, the importance of fostering a scientific culture with concerns in environmental issues is continuously increasing, from schools to universities. The role of real scientific environments, such as laboratories devoted to scientific research, could be an important support for environmental divulgation, as most research carried out at universities have to do with these subjects. The aim of this work was to show a specific case of environmental education in a laboratory devoted to the production of biodiesel and biolubricants, covering a wide range of academic levels and, depending on the audience, selecting the right content (both theoretical and practical). This guide was useful for the laboratory technicians, increasing the interest of the audience (considering the expositions good or excellent, depending on the academic level, and gaining enough or excellent knowledge about biorefineries).

Introduction. The problem of improving competence by means of continuing education of health specialists is not sufficiently discussed and studied, especially in terms of medical laboratory assistants. The emphasis of the present study is on the ability to update achievement motivation of laboratory assistants through new opportunities and forms of continuing professional education. Their interest in continuing education indicates an aspiration for improving their professional competence with respect to innovative professional practices including dynamically changing methods, technologies and devices facilitating health examinations that reflect the highly significant results of their work for the health and life of their patients.The aim of the present research is to study the achievement motivation of students and medical laboratory technicians and its influence on the main variables and descriptors of the attitude towards continuous learning.Materials and research methods. The studied persons represent three target groups involved in continuing professional education - in-service medical laboratory assistants, heads of medical laboratories and students enrolled in the programme of Medical Laboratory Assistant at Bulgarian medical colleges. The methodological tools comprise standardised psychological tests, as well as questionnaires developed for the purposes of the specific study.Results and scientific novelty. The main results support the thesis that motivation for achievement is updated in activities and situations where professional success is subjectively important and there are clear criteria of success or failure. The interest in continuing education depends on the motivation for achievement as a tendency in various individuals.The higher achievement motivation determines a stronger need to improve professional competences, aspiration to acquire a graduate degree in their professional field, preferences to specialisations as a form of continuing learning and understanding of continuing education as a manifestation of the desire for new knowledge.The results from the study may enrich the existing research data on the application of achievement motivation theory as an explanatory model of life-long learning behaviour, which may become an effective way to tackle the rapidly ageing and half-life of knowledge in medicine and technology.Practical significance. The applicability of the results is very clearly visible in the formulated thesis of the necessary change in the educational policy in the country through new forms of continuous education of medical laboratory assistants which would update their achievement motivation and would result in increase in the efficiency of their professional functioning.

The Science Laboratory is one of the supporting facilities that must be owned by every education institution unit at the junior high school level. Good science laboratory governance is needed to support the teaching and learning process that involves practicum activities. Unfortunately, there are still many junior high schools in Bone Regency that do not have good science laboratory governance due to the absence of laboratory personnel who are responsible for carrying out laboratory management. In this regard, this Community Service activity was carried out to train prospective laboratory assistants and science laboratory technicians at the junior high school levels throughout Bone Regency. This training activity aims to increase the knowledge of the participants regarding the management of the science laboratory as well as alternative means to carry out practical activities in schools. This activity is carried out using the Hybrid method by conducting training through offline activities for 7 days and online activities for 5 days. The total time for participant activity during the 12 training days is 100 hours. In order to measure the improvement of knowledge on laboratory management, a pre-test was given at the beginning of the training session and followed by a post-test which was given at the end of the training session. The results of the implementation of this training indicated that there is an increase in the knowledge of the training participants regarding laboratory management after participating in the entire series of laboratory management training activities.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a new virus identified in the year l989. Regarding the morbidity & mortality and also for disease burden HCV infection is now an important disease phenomenon worldwide especially among the health care professionals. Laboratory technicians are at increased risk for acquiring blood-borne infections as they have to collect blood samples to find out the disease pathology. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge and risk behavior on HCV infection among laboratory technicians in a selected army medical unit.
Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among laboratory technician in a selected army medical unit from 01September 2015 to 31 December 2016. Total 105 participants were interviewed by pretested structured questionnaire.
Results: This study explored that 44.8% respondents were in between 31-40 years and 63.8% were educated up to HSC level. All the respondents had overall knowledge about the cause, high risk group and prevention of HCV infection and 20.95% were not aware that water did not transmit HCV infection, 55.24% had no information of vaccination for prevention of HCV infection. This knowledge was gained by majority (62%) of participants from their existing course curriculum. Use of disposable syringe, sterilize instruments, practice of recapping after using needles and their proper disposal were found among all of the respondents and 61% did not habit to use gloves during sample collection due to negligence and lack of time. This study showed that there is an association between level of education and risk behavior (use of gloves) (P<.005).
Conclusion: Adequate program on updating knowledge, strict use of gloves, sterile instrument during sample collection will be helpful in minimizing transmission of HCV infection.
