Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the awareness of healthcare providers in the Al-Karkh District of Baghdad regarding the prevention and management of waterborne diseases.
Instruments & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional survey was done on 550 randomly chosen healthcare professionals from six hospitals and 25 healthcare institutions between January and March 2025. A standardized questionnaire for interviews, focusing on water safety procedures, was used to gather data. The significance level was established at p<0.05, and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 29.
Findings: Regarding the prevention of waterborne diseases, the survey found that 43.3% of participants had good practices, 44.4% had acceptable practices, and 12.4% had poor practices. Practice levels were significantly correlated with factors, such as age, education, years of experience, profession, length of training, and attitude ratings (p<0.05). However, practice levels were not substantially correlated with facility type or knowledge scores.
Conclusion: The majority of medical professionals in Al-Karkh, Baghdad, are well-versed in waterborne illnesses, particularly concerning prevention and symptoms
