The questionnaires were cleaned, coded and data were
entered into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
(SPSS) version 16 software and analyzed. Descriptive
statistics were computed. Bivariate and multivariate
logistic regression analyses were used to identify
predictor variables of risk perception of HCWs.
Ethical clearance was obtained from the ethical
approval committee of University of Gondar. A
formal letter was given to each HCFs and permission
was secured at all levels. Participants were informed regarding the purpose of the study, benefits and harms
of participation. After verbal consent was obtained
from each participant, questionnaires were distributed
to participants and filled in the presence of the data
collector. Codes were given to participants instead of
names to keep their responses confidential.
