Abstract
Medical technologists in clinical laboratories play a major role in providing information that aids physicians in diagnosing and treating patients. However, due to the limitations in resources, the safety of the laboratory workers must be evaluated. Thus, this study focuses on the grand tour question: “What are your experiences about the safety of clinical laboratory procedures with limited resources? "This mixed-method study utilized a concurrent triangulation approach with a questionnaire adapted from the World Health Organization and interviews conducted with seven medical technologists in Maragondon, Cavite. The data analysis revealed two themes supported by the quantitative and qualitative data: Challenges in Resources and Working Conditions: Unveiling the Untold Stories of Clinical Laboratories and Resilience in Clinical Laboratory: Fostering an Adaptive and Sustainable Environment.
