Abstract

Aim: Manicuring/pedicuring are among the routes of transmission of HBV, HCV, HIV viruses to adults. Our aim was to determine the infection control knowledge, attitudes and practices of manicurists/pedicurists in Bornova. Materials and Methods: Among 211 establishments registered to the chamber of commerce, 83.7% were contacted. One hundred thirty-one manicurists/pedicurists working in 109 establishments were interviewed face-to-face in November-December 2009. The questionnaire included 70 questions covering socio-demographics, experience, working conditions, knowledge and practice on infection control. A knowledge score was calculated from the 25 true/false type questions on knowledge, and an attitude score from 14 questions. Spearman's correlation, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Student t and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for analyses. Results: The mean age of participants was 27.4±8.2. Of those, 41.6% had primary schooling and 25.7% vocational training and they had been working as manicurists/pedicurists for 9.4±7.9 years.
