ABSTRACT:
Background: Hepatitis is a significant contamination of the liver with true pathology due to hepatitis B infection (HBV). A number of patients will never eliminate the infection and may cause intense and interruptible contamination, while liver cirrhosis with malignant growth may occur many years after the liver or liver.Objective: Investigation of information on HBV contamination, transmission between paramedics and medium-sized non-paramedics Strategies: From March to April 2015, a cross-sectional study was conducted in District Gujranwala punjab Pakistan. 184 students were enrolled in a paramedical course (pharmacy, general medicine and nursing) using an unrestricted and convenient test method. Non-paramedical areas (PC design and structural building). Information was collected through meetings organized using an organized and semi-organized questionnaire. Results: Of the 184 participants, 92 had paramedical and non-paramedical areas. The median age of paramedics was 18.6 (SD = 1.54), 19.5 (SD = 1.17) among non-paramedics. Most paramedics (64.1%) were women rather than men (79.3%), most of them were not paramedics. More than 80% of paramedics (98.9%) and non-paramedics (84.3%) found that hepatitis is a communicable disease transmitted through risky sexual contact, dangerous blood transfusions, ink staining and drug abuse. It is possible that the size of information is higher among paramedics than among non-paramedics. Conclusion: There is the potential for healthcare professionals to tackle issues related to vertical light and learning HBV projects, as in the case of web-based life in the nation. Key words: hepatitis B, knowledge, awareness, paramedics, non-paramedics, Nepal
