Nursing is recognised internationally as a high-risk occupation for graduates and students. Developing an understanding of incident data may facilitate prevention of future adverse events. A descriptive, retrospective review of occupational health and safety incidents reported by personnel at an Australian university school of nursing was conducted, spanning a period of eight-and-a-half years. Classification of incident reports was determined using the existing electronic system with manual categorisation of data not suited to electronic analysis, such as narrative descriptions. In total, 142 incidents were reported, of which 135 were included in this study. Students reported 98 incidents on placement and 10 on campus. Frequently reported student incidents involved sharps, fainting, manual handling activities and workplace violence. Fifteen reports were hazard notifications. Reviewing data gathered over a prolonged duration provided useful patterns of information. Gaps in data and reporting system constraints were identified. Dual reporting systems may be barriers to providing an all-inclusive overview. Improving data collection methods could include recording demographic information such as year level, drop-down menus for commonly reported incidents to facilitate recording, and consideration of how best to capture events that involve multiple personnel.
护理在国际上被认为是毕业生和学生的高风险职业。了解事件数据可能有助于预防未来的不良事件。对澳大利亚一所大学护理学院工作人员报告的职业健康和安全事件进行了描述性、回顾性审查，时间跨度为八年半。使用现有的电子系统对事件报告进行分类，并对不适合电子分析的数据（如叙述性描述）进行手动分类。共报告了 142 起事件，其中 135 起纳入本研究。学生在实习期间报告了 98 起事件，在校园内报告了 10 起事件。频繁报告的学生事件涉及锐器、晕倒、人工搬运活动和工作场所暴力。有 15 份报告是危险通知。审查在较长时间内收集的数据提供了有用的信息模式。发现数据和报告系统限制存在差距。双重报告系统可能会阻碍提供全面的概述。改进数据收集方法可以包括记录人口统计学信息，如年级、常见报告事件的下拉菜单，以方便记录，并考虑如何最好地捕捉涉及多名人员的事件。
