BACKGROUND
The frequency of work accidents involving exposure to biological materials (WAEMB) is significantly increasing. The most relevant epidemiological consequences of this type of accidents are due to the transmission of pathogens including the human immunodeficiency and hepatitis B and C viruses.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the effectiveness of a prevention and training program to reduce the incidence of WAEMB at a teaching hospital along 8 years of implementation.
METHODS
Retrospective descriptive study based on data obtained from the hospital Human Resource Technology Department. We analyzed records of 1,445 hospital employees who suffered sharps injuries.
RESULTS
About 50% of the incidents were caused by inadequate sharps disposal. The overall rate of sharps injuries decreased by 0.21%/year and that of accidents due to inadequate sharps disposal by 0.36%.
CONCLUSION
The results of the present study indicate that the implemented program was associated with significant reduction of the incidence of WAEMB.
背景
涉及接触生物材料的工作事故（WAEMB）发生率正在显著上升。这类事故最相关的流行病学后果是病原体的传播，包括人类免疫缺陷病毒以及乙型和丙型肝炎病毒。
目的
评估一项预防和培训计划在一家教学医院实施8年期间降低WAEMB发生率的有效性。
方法
基于从医院人力资源技术部门获得的数据进行回顾性描述性研究。我们分析了1445名遭受锐器伤的医院员工记录。
结果
约50%的事故是由于锐器处理不当造成的。锐器伤的总体发生率每年下降0.21%，因锐器处理不当导致的事故发生率每年下降0.36%。
结论
本研究结果表明，实施的计划与WAEMB发生率的显著降低相关。
