Student’s perception about importance of administrative work in the laboratory OBJECTIVES: Using a questionnaire, we wanted to examine the students' perception of the importance of administrative work, computerization and ensuring the efficiency of work in the laboratory, evaluate the students' perception of the importance of data accuracy and ways of documenting them and their storage for clinicians. The goal is also to examine the knowledge of students on ways of using LIS, and to determine the difference in opinion between undergraduate and graduate students of Medical Laboratory Diagnostics. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional research conducted during July and August 2023. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: In the research were included 35 respondents from the Undergraduate and Graduate Studies in Medical Laboratory Diagnostics in Osijek. The research was conducted using a survey questionnaire that respondents filled out online. RESULTS: A total of 4 male respondents and 31 female respondents participated in the survey. The median age was 20 years. The differences in answers between respondents who are in undergraduate and graduate studies are mostly not significant. Graduate study respondents agree significantly more with the statement that they know that the laboratory information system is an important link between administrative and analytical work in the laboratory and with the statement that permanent data storage in the laboratory information system is important for clinicians. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that students of Medical Laboratory Diagnostics are aware of the importance and way of functioning of administrative work in the laboratory. It can also be concluded that, as the study progresses, students become more educated and aware of the importance of administrative work in the laboratory.
