The Results of Using Innovative Urine and Feces Containers for Microscopy Analysis to Reduce the Spread and Exposure to Dangerous Germs Such As Tuberculosis, COVID, and Microorganisms

Abstract

Background: The delivery of samples is an important process in laboratory testing. The sample must be maintained and biosafety must be taken into account. It must meet the standards according to the criteria.

Objective: To study the results of using innovative urine and feces containers for microscopy analysis to reduce the spread and exposure to dangerous germs such as tuberculosis, COVID, and microorganisms.

Materials and Methods: Selected samples were purposively randomized to 300 samples per group. The control group was packed with urine and feces containers as usual. The experimental group used innovative urine and feces containers. 1. Foam holes for placing containers 2. Foam containers with tight-fitting lids. The tools used for data collection were data recording forms. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent t-test. Study period: February 2025 to March 2025

Results: The results of the study from all 300 samples in each group found that after the experiment, the experimental group had an average score of 0 samples (0 percent) of incident microscopic analysis that did not meet standards. All samples were not contaminated outside the plastic bag (100 percent), and there was no tilting, spilling, or falling (100 percent). There was a small amount of 3 samples (1 percent) that could be put to practical use and beneficial to the agency.

Conclusion: the researcher recommends using innovative equipment for packing urine and feces for microscopic analysis to reduce the spread and exposure to dangerous germs such as tuberculosis and COVID-19. Microorganisms can be used as a guideline to reduce the risk of spreading and exposure to dangerous germs.
