A retrospective study of post mortem staff who had taken leave due to sickness was carried out over a 12 month period throughout England and Wales. Eight hundred and nineteen post mortem room personnel (representing a 57% response) replied to individual postal questionnaires regarding their sick leave of two days or more, for the period June 1985 to June 1986. Complete responses were available for 751. Post mortem room technical staff reported more mean days sickness per person (7.8) than either pathologists (1.6) or a control group of coroners' officers (3.9). The annual inception rate (frequency by spells) was also higher among technicians than the other two groups. Technical staff had more infectious disease (0.73 mean days of absence compared with pathologist (0.10) or coroners' officers (0.12] and more frequent absences due to cuts and lacerations.
在整个英格兰和威尔士,对在12个月内因病请假的验尸工作人员进行了一项回顾性研究。819名验尸房工作人员(回复率为57%)回复了关于1985年6月至1986年6月期间两天或更长时间病假的个人邮政问卷。751人提供了完整回复。验尸房技术人员报告的人均病假天数(7.8天)比病理学家(1.6天)或验尸官对照组(3.9天)更多。技术人员的年发病率(按发作频率计算)也高于其他两组。技术人员患传染病的天数更多(平均缺勤0.73天,而病理学家为0.10天,验尸官为0.12天),因割伤和擦伤导致的缺勤也更频繁。
