The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the working environment on hand dermatitis (HD) prevalence among nurses in a Chinese teaching hospital.
We utilised a previously validated, self-reporting survey which was translated into Chinese.
The prevalence of HD among nurses was 18.3%, although this rate varied between departments, ranging from 9.4% in gynaecology to 26.7% in intensive care (P for Trend=0.3167). Logistic regression indicated that wet work was the most important HD risk factor, with a 9-fold increase (OR 9.0, 95% CI 1.2-74.9, P=0.0342). Allergic disease was also related to HD, with a 4.6-fold increase noted (OR 4.6, 95% CI 1.4-15.0, P=0.0096).
Overall, the prevalence of HD among Chinese hospital nurses appears to be less than that of their foreign counterparts. Nevertheless, the burden of this disease does seem to vary with respect to depertment of employment within the hospital.
本研究旨在探讨中国某教学医院护士工作环境对其手部皮炎(HD)患病率的影响。
我们采用了先前验证过的、已翻译成中文的自我报告调查。
护士 HD 的患病率为 18.3%,尽管不同科室之间存在差异,范围从妇科的 9.4%到重症监护室的 26.7%(趋势 P 值=0.3167)。Logistic 回归表明,湿工作是 HD 的最重要危险因素,其风险增加 9 倍(OR 9.0,95%CI 1.2-74.9,P=0.0342)。过敏疾病也与 HD 相关,风险增加 4.6 倍(OR 4.6,95%CI 1.4-15.0,P=0.0096)。
总体而言,中国医院护士 HD 的患病率似乎低于国外同行。然而,这种疾病的负担似乎确实因医院内的就业部门而异。
