A significant minority of nurses in healthcare settings in Japan would be unwilling to accept colleagues infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV), according to research published in the Journal of Occupational Health. An anonymous online survey of nurses across Japan was carried out in 2015. It included 992 nurses working in hospitals or clinics (response rate 89%). Participants were asked various questions probing their attitudes to colleagues infected with HBV or HCV.
