Popis:	This quasi-experimental study aimed to assess the impact of a training program on knowledge and practical skills of healthcare professionals(HCPs) regarding healthcare waste(HCW) management in a Teaching Hospital in Southern Tunisia.The total mean knowledge score(KS) and practice score(PS) increased significantly on post training test as opposed to pre-training test with mean changes of 17.9 ± 10.1 and 26.9 ± 2.1, respectively.The mean PS did not significantly change from the first to the final follow-up measurement(p = 0.25).Three predictor factors were found to be independently associated with change in KS:age(β=-0.16;p = 0.006),sanitary staff(β = 0.116;p = 0.038) and administrative staff(β = 0.122;p = 0.032).Training program could therefore be an effective intervention for improving knowledge and practices among HCPs.
