Knowledge and Awareness of Respiratory Care Unit (RCU) Healthcare Providers Regarding Transmissible Pathogens in the RCU

Introduction

The healthcare providers in respiratory care units are at increased risk of exposure to transmissible pathogens due to close contact with patients and involvement in aerosol-generating procedures. Adequate knowledge and awareness of transmissible pathogens are essential to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections and ensure the safety of patients and healthcare providers. The study aimed to assess the knowledge and awareness of healthcare providers in respiratory care units regarding transmissible pathogens.
