Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Prevention
  • Occupational Safety

Background:

  • Public school personnel face risks of blood-borne disease transmission, including HIV/AIDS.
  • Common school incidents like nosebleeds and injuries pose exposure risks.
  • School staff are often overlooked in targeted HIV/AIDS health education initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of on-site HIV/AIDS education on disposable glove usage among school personnel.
  • To assess the effectiveness of educational programs in promoting Universal Precautions.

Main Methods:

  • Educational programs including pretests, presentations, and Q&A sessions were delivered to teachers, staff, and PTA volunteers.
  • Post-tests were administered three months after the educational intervention.
  • Self-reported glove use was monitored before and after the program.

Main Results:

  • School personnel demonstrated factual knowledge of HIV/AIDS but lacked practical understanding of Universal Precautions.
  • Initial self-reported use of disposable gloves was minimal.
  • All participating schools reported an increase in glove use following the educational intervention.

Conclusions:

  • On-site HIV/AIDS education effectively increased disposable glove use among public school personnel.
  • Targeted education can improve adherence to Universal Precautions in school settings.
  • Further training may be needed to enhance practical knowledge of infection control measures.
