Question 2
Read the excerpt below and determine which component of a technical report it falls under:
Airborne droplets and contaminated surfaces are the main routes for outbreak of the epidemic virus causes the novel
coronavirus. To reduce virus spread, people wear face masks and gloves daily which massively increases the amount of waste
generated in the environment. Also, the inappropriate disposal of used masks and gloves in communities may boost the
spread of the novel coronavirus. However, no studies have been conducted to evaluate a community perception regarding the
management of generated masks and gloves during the global health threat. Therefore, this paper proposes a study of public
awareness, attitudes, and practices towards gloves and masks generated during the novel coronavirus pandemic in Saudi
Arabia. The study showed that majority of the participants (74%) have adequate awareness regarding the proper way to
dispose used masks and gloves, with 76% showing positive attitudes toward wastes management where study showed a
significant correlation (p < 0.0001) between attitude and public good practice of proper wastes disposal. Also, study shows that
the public had positive attitudes (p < 0.0001) regarding the measures taken by regional municipalities to reduce the spread of
coronavirus. The study further recognized that the effective management of contagious wastes will significantly protect the
community against the improper practices of wastes disposal generated during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Question 3
Read the excerpt below and determine which component of a technical report it falls under:
A cross-sectional study was conducted amongst 572 respondents of the public community of the Eastern Province region in the
KSA. The study was conducted in a period of one week from June 24 to July 1, 2020, using a pre-constructed survey that was
shared using various online platforms including social media. The survey was designed based on literature, available national,
and international guidelines including WHO guidelines for medical waste management. The survey was self-administered and
conducted using QuestionPro® with an option for the respondents to choose either Arabic or English language due to the
diversity of the community in the Eastern region of the KSA.
Question 4
Read the excerpt below and determine which component of a technical report it falls under:
The table above shows the correlation analysis between AAP of the community towards used face masks, gloves, and
disposable handkerchiefs generated in the environment during COVID-19. Results showed that there was an extremely
significant correlation (p < 0.0001) between the awareness of the public regarding the regulations of medical waste collection
and disposal and their attitude regarding the level of experience and training of the healthcare workers that manage medical
wastes in hospitals and medical centers in the region.
Question 5
Read the excerpt below and determine which component of a technical report it falls under:
It is clear that this study presented a high level of public awareness regarding general biomedical waste and its method of
disposal. Observations obtained from this study contrast those recently reported when the knowledge and attitude of the
community people of Kathmandu, Nepal were assessed where 26.3% of community people had inadequate knowledge
regarding healthcare waste. The results also disagreed with those in (Sidhu and Kaur 2016) where a below-average level of
knowledge regarding biomedical waste management was observed.
