Abstract :

The number of healthcare institutions are increasing steadily in Nepal, but the issues related to biomedical waste generation still remains. These wastes pose a major problem because of its infectious potential. In addition, wastes that are generated in a dental setup also causes environmental and health issues. The knowledge of biomedical waste management and its effective disposal goes a long way in reducing the overall burden of infectious diseases among the general population and the healthcare professionals alike. Questionnaires regarding knowledge and awareness of biomedical wastes helps in determining the current status regarding its management. This study was hence designed to create a translated version of a questionnaire in Nepalese language to determine the awareness and knowledge among the dental students, dental auxiliaries, foremen and helpers in a dental college in Eastern Nepal.
