Methods of Controlling Deviations, Analyzing and Processing Data

- Conduct a re-evaluation of knowledge, practice of occupational disease prevention caused by microorganisms and hepatitis B vaccination rate among 626 health workers selected for the study after 6 months of intervention.

+ Assess knowledge and practice after intervention using the same set of tools, questionnaires and checklists used before intervention ( Appendix 5 and Appendix 6 ).

+ Evaluate the effectiveness of the HBV vaccination intervention by determining the proportion of healthcare workers who have not been vaccinated against HBV; the number of healthcare workers eligible for vaccination and the proportion of healthcare workers who have been informed and agreed to be vaccinated against HBV.

2.6. Methods of error control, analysis and data processing

2.6.1. Deviation control

Clearly define the subject based on selection and exclusion criteria.

All research subjects were interviewed, and those who were absent at the interview were scheduled to be interviewed the following day.

Provide detailed and thorough training on survey content, sampling techniques, and interviewing skills. Conduct a pilot survey and revise the questionnaire before officially printing to ensure that the data collection toolkit is appropriate for the research subjects and conditions.

Research testing techniques are all performed in a single laboratory with the same chemicals and the same technical procedures by a specific group of testing technicians.

2.6.2. Data processing and analysis

- Each questionnaire after interview will be checked immediately for completeness and appropriateness. Incomplete or inappropriate questionnaires will be re-interviewed. If necessary, questionnaires with a lot of missing information will be discarded. In this case, additional interviews will be conducted to reach the sample size.


- Clean and encrypt data.

- Enter and process data on SPSS 18.0 software.

- Descriptive statistics: frequencies and percentages for qualitative variables.

- Statistical analysis: Chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between independent variables qualitatively with dependent variable. The relationship was determined by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval. The relationships were statistically significant when p < 0.05.

- Use the effectiveness index to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The effectiveness index is calculated according to the formula:

P SCT – P TCT

CSHQ% = x 100

P TCT

P TCT : ratio/average value at pre-intervention time P SCT : ratio/average value at post-intervention time

2.7. Ethical issues in research

All research participants are completely voluntary, and subjects have the right to refuse to be interviewed.

On the basis of conducting the topic to collect necessary data and to ensure medical ethics, we only ask questions of a professional nature and do not affect or harm the interviewees. All collected data is kept confidential to protect the interviewees, including those who refuse to participate in the investigation process.

This research does not have any impact on local customs, practices, cultural traditions, or health. The local authorities will be informed of the scale and duration of the research.

The research protocol was approved by the Ethics Council of the Institute of Occupational and Environmental Health to review the ethical aspects, ensuring that no ethical requirements were violated before conducting the research.
