AIDS is one of the most important communicable diseases in recent years. While there is no vaccine for it, awareness is the most effective way to prevent this disease. Medical staff including anesthesia staff are potentially expose to the disease. Therefore first, it is necessary to evaluate knowledge and attitude of medical staff to elevate awareness.
This is a cross-sectional study, carried out on 40 anesthesia staffs of educational hospitals of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences in December 2010 and January 2011. A questioner was used to evaluate the staffs knowledge by answering questions about AIDS. Then results were analyzed statistically.
Knowledge of 2.5% of anesthesia staff were low (points=0-10), 60% good (points=10-20) and 37.5% high (points=20-30). Maximum point was 28 and minimum point was 9. More frequent answers were transmission routs (82%) and fewer answers were suitable analytical procedure in HIV-infected patients (30%) and transmission routs in operation room (37%).
