Özet
The purpose of this study was to determine the general knowledge levels of the residents in Mustafa Kemal University Hospital on hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. A total of 60 residents were asked to fill in a questionnaire. It was observed that 31 out of 60 (51.7%) answered the question correctly on the general knowledge, 9 out of 60 (15%) on transmission routes, 5 out of 60 (8.3%) on prevention measures, and 59 out of 60 (98.3%) on risk factors of HBV infection. A significant difference was observed between the knowledge scores of the participants with sex and employment duration whereas no difference was determined between the knowledge scores, with age and departments of the participants. The result of this study demonstrates that the residents, who were under the risk of HBV infection, did not have enough knowledge on the overall characteristics, transmission routes, and prevention measures of HBV infection. It was concluded that, periodic workshops are necessary after graduation from the medical school to keep doctors informed and updated on this particular infection.
