Background.
The nurse’s role in healthcare waste management is crucial.
Objectives.
(1) To appraise nurses quantitatively and qualitatively regarding healthcare waste management; (2) to elicit the determinants of knowledge and attitudes of healthcare waste management.
Method.
A cross-sectional study was undertaken at a tertiary care hospital of Mangalore, India.
Self-administered pretested questionnaire and “nonparticipatory observation” were used for quantitative and qualitative appraisals.
Percentage knowledge score was calculated based on their total knowledge score.
Nurses’ knowledge was categorized as excellent ( > 70%), good (50–70%), and poor ( < 50%).
Chi square test was applied to judge the association of study variables with their attitudes and knowledge.
Results.
Out of 100 nurses 47 had excellent knowledge ( > 70% score).
Most (86%) expressed the need of refresher training.
No study variable displayed significant association ( P > 0.05 ) with knowledge.
Apt segregation practices were followed except in casualty.
Patients and entourages misinterpreted the colored containers.
Conclusion.
Nurses’ knowledge and healthcare waste management practices were not satisfactory.
There is a need of refresher trainings at optimum intervals to ensure sustainability and further improvement.
Educating patients and their entourages and display of segregation information board in local language are recommended.
