*3.1. Characteristics of the Included Studies*

A total of five articles published from Jordan, Egypt, Sri Lanka, France, and Malawi were considered for the present review [24,25,29,30,32]. All the articles were published between 2008 and 2018 (Table 3). Out of five studies, only two studies reported the questionnaire specific to the MIPs' knowledge of infection control practices specific to the RD. However, all the items included in the questionnaire were validated before the data collection. The questionnaire used in the studies to evaluate the knowledge and precautionary standards varied from 18 to 50 items. All the included studies reported that ethical approval was obtained to collect the data via a self-administered survey.
