Factors Determining Knowledge Acquisition in Livestock Waste Management Training Held by Animal Husbandry Training Centre at Songgoriti, Batu - Indonesia

Abstract The livestock industry plays a substantial role in the Indonesian economy as the industry provides a significant share of the country’s national income. The industry also engages labour in rural and sub-urban areas since traditional smallholder livestock dominates the industry in the country. One problem in the smallholder livestock is the inadequate capacity of farmers leading to mediocre livestock management, generating polluting waste and low income. A special training curriculum for smallholder farmers is expected to improve farmer capacity. Animal Husbandry Training Centre at Songgoriti regularly holds special training in waste management for smallholder livestock farmers. This study aimed to analyse the training outcome and factors influencing knowledge attainment resulting from the training. The training outcome was measured using incremental knowledge related to training subjects. Socio-demographic-economic characteristics of training participants were considered the determinants of training outcomes. The analysis employed a multiple regression model. Data were compiled from the training centre’s reports and documentation of training held in 2021 and 2022. The results show that the training outcome was apparent. Some participants showed good knowledge acquisition, and some others did not. The starting point of existing knowledge mattered. Some socio-demographic-economic characteristics significantly determined incremental knowledge acquisition. The study suggests training participants should be grouped based on the knowledge baseline. The advanced participants are separated from the usual ones whenever possible to reach high training outcomes.

Examining biomedical waste management knowledge and training level among health care professionals in Saudi Arabia

The rapid development of medical care innovations and the use of newer technologies have resulted in a significant rise in the quantity of waste produced per patient within health care facilities. Biomedical waste in particular has emerged as a pressing concern due to its inherent propensity to pose health hazards and cause environmental harm. The World Health Organization has identified a lack of knowledge and training as primary factors contributing to the failure of Biomedical waste management (BMWM). Thus, our study sought to examine the relationship between BMWM level of knowledge and prior training among health care professionals (HCPs) in 4 different regions in Saudi Arabia. Our study used a cross-sectional design to investigate the BMWM level of knowledge and prior training among HCPs in 4 different regions in Saudi Arabia. Multiple linear and logistic regression was used to assess if Biomedical waste management (MBWM) knowledge and prior tanning are significantly associated with the demographics and professional characteristics of HCPs. 501 HCPs participated in the study. More than half were male, the majority fell within the age range of 24 to 36 years and held a bachelor's degree. The level of BMWM knowledge among HCPs was moderate (M=31.14, SD=4.89) and positively associated with HCPs' prior training in BMWM, workplace environment, and overall experience in the field. Only 26% of the HCPs had received prior BMWM training, and it varied considerably by sex, geographic location, and professional experience. Our study demonstrates a moderate knowledge and lack of training in BMWM among HCPs in Saudi Arabia. Thus, we recommend a national strategy for incorporating infection prevention and control methods associated with BMWM into all health care programs. Furthermore, it is imperative for health officials to enact prompt and efficient surveillance measures, as well as conduct frequent training sessions for HCPs and support personnel.
