In the medical field, the sterilization of instruments is a crucial component of any surgical procedure. It's important for healthcare workers to have a fundamental understanding of how to properly sterilize and disinfect instruments and medical devices. Despite its importance, there are often gaps in the knowledge and adherence to sterilization protocols among healthcare workers, which can lead to increased risks of healthcare-associated infections.
This research aims to assess healthcare workers' awareness and understanding of sterilization practices, identify challenges they face, and propose strategies for improving sterilization practices in healthcare environments.
