Was taken as a result of lack of adequate knowledge when they had ‹70% of respondents, was conducted OR (95%) for the analysis of causality. Results: A total of right answers was 2984 (54.53%), the outpatient had 1652 (60.38%) and hospitalized 1332 (48.68%), p = 0.000001. As for “general knowledge” 196 (85.97%) patients showed lack of adequate knowledge, 112 (98.25%) for the hospital and 84 (73.68%) for the outpatient, OR = 20 (95% CI 4.47-126.6 .).
