Health is a social and biological issue and reflects the extent and distribution of resources in a society. Healthcare is one of the most important aspects of all human endeavors to improve the quality of life, since sound health is essential for the strength and prosperity of a nation. So health awareness among general population is necessary including various occupational areas of society. Among them are the health workers who are more prone to health hazards of their occupation in terms of physical, mental, and social aspects of health. Especially among health workers, the more likeable are the class four workers.
Thus the present study was done to assess knowledge and attitude regarding health awareness among class four workers of selected hospitals. A non-experimental descriptive design was adopted. Data collection was done using structured knowledge questionnaire and attitude scale on 100 conveniently selected class four workers of selected hospitals of Anand District, Gujarat.
