Occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogen is a significant risk to health-care workers. In any teaching hospital apart from regular health-care workers and employees, there are significant population of students and trainee. It is important to assess the health-care worker in hospital which has maximum chances of exposure to these pathogens. The aim of this study is to determine the most susceptible job group for needlestick injury (NSI) reported in a newly established teaching medical institute in the Western part of Rajasthan, India.
This is a retrospective analysis of data of NSI occurred during September 2014 to January 2017.
Sixty three NSIs were reported during the study. Nursing students were the most vulnerable group who reported maximum number of NSI. Among the nursing students, 72% were completely vaccinated against hepatitis B virus.
Nursing students are at utmost risk for NSIs, the prevention of which requires regular training and education.
职业暴露于血源性病原体对医护人员的健康构成重大风险。在任何一家教学医院,除了正规的医护人员和员工外,还有大量的学生和实习生。评估医院中接触这些病原体可能性最大的医护人员非常重要。本研究的目的是确定印度拉贾斯坦邦西部一家新成立的教学医学院所报告的针刺伤(NSI)最易感的工作群体。
这是一项对2014年9月至2017年1月期间发生的针刺伤数据的回顾性分析。
研究期间共报告了63例针刺伤。护生是报告针刺伤数量最多的最脆弱群体。在护生中,72% 已完全接种乙肝病毒疫苗。
护生面临针刺伤的风险最大,预防针刺伤需要定期培训和教育。
