Analysis of blood-borne occupational exposure of intern nurses in a tertiary infectious disease hospital / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

Objective@#To explore the risk factors of occupational exposure of intern nurses in an infectious disease hospital, and put forward prevention and control strategies.@*Methods@#A retrospective analysis was made of 82 reported cases of occupational exposure of intern nurses in a tertiary infectious disease hospital from 2013 to 2017. The occupational exposure rate, pathogens, occurrence sites and exposure links of the intern nurses were analyzed.@*Results@#The overall occupational exposure rate of internship nurses in 2013-2017 was 6.20% (82/1322) .The pathogens were mainly HBV, 52 cases, accounting for 63.4%. The site of occurrence was mainly finger, 75 cases, accounting for 91.5%. In the occurrence of the process, 35 cases were taken, accounting for 42.7%; 20 cases of arteriovenous puncture, accounting for 24.4%; 17 cases of separation needles and finishing materials, accounting for 20.7%.@*Conclusion@#The incidence of blood-borne occupation of intern nurses is higher, which needs special attention in infectious disease hospitals. To prevent blood-borne occupational exposure of intern nurses, occupational safety education should be strengthened, clinical operation should be standardized and humanized management should be provided.

Characteristics of bloodborne occupational exposure among health care workers in a tertiary infectious diseases hospital for five consecutive years / 中国感染控制杂志

Objective To evaluate the correlation between occupational exposure and work intensity of health care workers(HCWs)in an infectious diseases hospital for 5 consecutive years,and provide reference for occupational precaution.Methods Occupational exposures cases reported between January 2010 and December 2014 were ana-lyzed retrospectively,occupation types,exposure routes,and exposure sources were analyzed.Results A total of 228 cases of occupational exposure were reported,nurses and doctors were the major exposure population(75.44%and 19.30% respectively);occupational exposure mainly occurred during the infusion process(52.19%);hepatitis B was the main exposure source (71 .05%),followed by human immunodeficiency virus (10.09%).The Pearson correlation coefficient between the occupational exposure rate of doctors and the ratio of doctors to patients was-0.849 (P <0.05),and for nurses,the correlation coefficient was -0.823 (P <0.05 ).Conclusion Nurses are high risk population of occupational exposures,occupational exposure is most likely to occur during transfusion process,occupational exposure of doctors and nurses has a strong correlation with the work intensity.
