In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed all pediatric orthopedic surgeons in Saudi Arabia using an anonymous electronic questionnaire composed of 23 items to identify the rate of occupational injuries and obtain other relevant information. Thirty-nine participants completed the questionnaire (response rate: 83%). Participants who sustained occupational injuries throughout their careers represented 82.5%. The most injured areas were the hands, eyes, and back by 54.5%, 24.2%, and 15.2%, respectively. Approximately 11.1% were injured while operating on infected patients. Approximately 30.3% reported their injuries to their institution. We concluded that the rate of occupational injuries among pediatric orthopedic surgeons is very high and underreported.
在这项横断面研究中,我们使用一份由23个项目组成的匿名电子问卷对沙特阿拉伯的所有儿科骨科医生进行了调查,以确定职业伤害发生率并获取其他相关信息。39名参与者完成了问卷(回复率:83%)。在整个职业生涯中遭受职业伤害的参与者占82.5%。受伤最严重的部位分别是手、眼睛和背部,比例分别为54.5%、24.2%和15.2%。约11.1%的人在为感染患者手术时受伤。约30.3%的人向所在机构报告了他们的受伤情况。我们得出结论,儿科骨科医生的职业伤害发生率很高且报告不足。
