Perceptions, Attitudes, and Behaviors Related to Hepatitis Among the General Population Attending a COVID-19 Vaccination Center in a Tertiary Care Hospital in India.

Background and objective Hepatitis B and C are major public health issues in India, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Understanding the general population's perceptions, values, attitudes, and behaviors regarding these infections is essential for effective health interventions. In light of this, the present study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) related to hepatitis B and C among individuals attending a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination center at a tertiary care hospital in India.

A national level survey on knowledge, attitude and practices among Indian nurses on viral hepatitis.

Background: Despite being preventable and treatable, viral hepatitis remains a major public health problem in India. In the line of their duties, nursing professionals are constantly at risk of infection. To combat viral hepatitis, it is essential to ascertain the level of knowledge, attitude, and practices among nursing professionals.

Capacity building of healthcare workers: Key step towards elimination of viral hepatitis in developing countries.

Background: Lack of awareness about viral hepatitis (VH) potentially predisposes the healthcare workers (HCWs) to a higher risk of infection and may in turn increase the risk of transmission of the infection to their families and in the community. Thus, combating VH, requires adequate and updated training to the HCWs. With this objective, Project PRAKASH designed a meticulously planned training program, aimed to assess the effect of a one-day training on VH among in-service nurses.
