Statement of the Problem

In the face of emerging infectious diseases and global health crises, the

competence and Aptitude of healthcare workers are paramount in effectively

managing and containing outbreaks. The level of knowledge, preparedness, and

performance of healthcare workers in handling infectious diseases represents a

critical aspect of ensuring effective disease management and prevention. This

research aims to investigate the current state of knowledge, preparedness levels,

and practical performance among healthcare workers in addressing infectious

diseases, identifying potential gaps or areas for improvement.

The study has every intention to ascertain the following statements:

1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of:

1.1. Age

1.2. Gender

1.3. Profession

1.4. Years of Experience

1.5. Specialization

2. What is the Knowledge of Healthcare Workers in Handling Infectious

Diseases?

3. What is the Preparedness of Healthcare Workers in Handling Infectious

Diseases?

4. What is the Performance of Healthcare Workers in Handling Infectious

Diseases?

5. Is there any significant relationship between the Knowledge,

Preparedness, and Performance of Healthcare Workers in handling

infectious diseases.
