DISCUSSION AND INTERPRETATION
 DISCUSSION AND INTERPRETATION
DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF RESPONDENTS

This section contains figures and charts that represent demographic information fro
m the questionnaire, such as the type of clinic that participated in this study. These
data helped contextualize the findings and develop appropriate recommendations.

According to Figure 1, the findings of the study in the demographic profile indicated
that 67% of the respondents are dental clinics, 20% are clinical laboratories, 6% are
lay-ins, and 7% are veterinary clinic.
DISCUSSION AND INTERPRETATION

As illustrated in table 1, the study’

s findings reflect the outcomes of

in disposing of infectious medical
waste. With a weighted mean of
4.95, it is evident that all respond

waste policy, the safety of staff an
d patients, and the cleanliness of
the clinic’s facilities.
 DISCUSSION AND INTERPRETATION

According to pie chart 1, 15 or 100% of the 15 respondents believe that proper

infectious waste disposal benefits clinic workers, patients, the community, and t
he environment.
 DISCUSSION AND INTERPRETATION
Pie Chart 2. From the question, Does your clinic have
a separate space for storing waste disposal?

personnel disposed of infectious waste from their clinics in designated land
fills, 6 or 40% are garbage collectors and 1 or 7% are designated infectious
waste collector by DENR.

the clinic’s waste?

According to pie chart 7, 8 or 53% of the 16 respondents agree that disposal of

infectious waste is costly, while 7 or 47% disagree.
FINDINGS
 FINDINGS
• The proper disposal of infectious waste is one of the most important parts of infection prevention and
control. Health care facilities might benefit human health, the environment, and the community by
following proper procedures for disposing of infectious waste.

• Clinics possess their own waste policies, but they are based on the implementation of the DENR-DOH
guidelines, and clinic workers must be aware of and understand their necessity. To help ensure the
protection of human health, the environment, and the community, clinic workers must follow and maintain
standard practices for disposing of infectious waste.

•The respondents might struggle if they are the ones who will dispose of infectious waste at their landfills
from their clinic facilities since it may be inconvenient for them and also infectious waste disposal is
costly.
CONCLUSIONS
 CONCLUSIONS
• The researchers conclude that the respondents have the same
perception of what they answered in the questionnaire.

• Using a survey questionnaire, the researchers conclude that the

majority of clinics that participated in this study are dental clinics that
are located in Tiaong, Quezon.

• The researchers find out that the respondents strictly adhere to the
clinic’s waste policy when disposing of infectious waste in their clinics.
Respondents are also aware of its significance and benefits.
RECOMMENDATIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS
•The clinics should consider the health of their staff members when disposing of infectious waste by
utilizing protective equipment. They should also train their personnel once or twice a year to ensure that
proper infectious medical waste disposal practices are always followed in their clinics.

•The government should conduct frequent audits regarding infectious waste disposal practices in clinics.
Also, the government should provide a specialized facility for all infectious waste, including household
infectious waste, and for the clinic owners to make it more convenient and less expensive. Additionally, to
prevent household contamination and health risks, the government should also implement a program to
educate individuals on proper and safe infectious waste disposal in their homes.

•For future researchers, the researchers recommend that a comparable study be performed over a longer
period of time with the aim of gaining better knowledge of how proper infectious medical waste disposal
practices are significantly advantageous and important in various aspects.
