Occupational exposure to blood (OEB) is associated with a significant risk of transmission of bloodborne viruses to medical students. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and practices of Casablanca medical students concerning OEB preventive measures and their behaviour after accidental exposure. A cross-sectional study was carried out at the Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca using stratified cluster sampling ; data from this study were collected by means of an anonymous self-administered questionnaire. The mean age was 22.38 years (SD = 1.69) with a female predominance (56.0%). About 17.5% of students had experienced at least one OEB, and only 38.3% were familiar with the standard precautions to prevent these accidents. Accidental exposure was significantly associated with needle recapping (p = 0.002) and ignorance of standard precautions (p = 0.028).These results illustrate the insufficient knowledge and poor compliance with preventive measures of occupational exposure to blood, indicating the need for awareness-raising and training activities for medical students.
职业性血液暴露（OEB）与医学生感染血源性病原体的重大风险相关。本研究的目的是评估卡萨布兰卡医学生对OEB预防措施的知识和实践情况，以及他们在意外暴露后的行为。在卡萨布兰卡的伊本·罗什德大学医院采用分层整群抽样进行了一项横断面研究；本研究的数据通过匿名自填问卷收集。平均年龄为22.38岁（标准差=1.69），女性占多数（56.0%）。约17.5%的学生至少经历过一次OEB，只有38.3%的学生熟悉预防这些事故的标准预防措施。意外暴露与重新盖帽（p = 0.002）和对标准预防措施的无知（p = 0.028）显著相关。这些结果表明医学生对职业性血液暴露预防措施的知识不足且依从性差，表明需要对医学生开展提高认识和培训活动。
