A Questionnaire Study to Compare The Role of Nursing and Medical Laboratory Staff in Promoting Awareness About Thalassemia

Abstract

Introduction: One of the most common genetically transmitted blood disorders is thalassemia. Hematology is a matter of great concern, warranting global awareness and understanding among healthcare professionals. We aim to highlight the roles of nursing and medical laboratory employees in the task of spreading information about thalassemia through this research, which has taken a self-reporting survey. Methods: More of the nursing staff and also the medical laboratory staff were interviewed to evaluate their knowledge about thalassemia, their perception of their role in thalassemia care, and their level of involvement with education activities on the issue. Data analysis, for example, correlation and hypothesis testing, has been done in this study to look for group differences. Results: The results demonstrated that thalassemia knowledge levels and the roles of nursing and lab staff were very varied among themselves. Medical laboratory staff had greater knowledge of thalassemia, and there were staff nurses who considered their job in caring for thalassemia more positively. Conclusions: Increased education and increased educational seminars on thalassemia would help to increase thalassemia awareness and provide better patient care services. The results of this study can be used to increase the training of medical care personnel to provide comprehensive medical care for thalassemia patients.
