The aim of this study was to evaluate family health workers' exposure to injuries with needlestick and sharp instruments and its related factors.
The universe of the relational descriptive study consisted of 150 family health workers working in 26 family health centers in the Bornova district, and the study was completed with 115 family health workers who voluntarily accepted to participate in the research. The data consisted of 4 sections and 26 questions in total: the questionnaire form created by the researchers in line with the literature, the sociodemographic information form, the questions regarding the needlestick and sharp injuries. In the evaluation of the data, using SPSS 20.0 package program, number, percentage distributions, mean and standard deviation were calculated, and Kruskal-Wallis analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed.
All of the family health workers included in the research were women and the average age was 38.6 ± 6.38. It was determined that 81.7% of family health workers received occupational health and safety training, and the average score they gave to the level of knowledge about what to do in case of a cutting-edge injury was 7.62 ± .96. In the study group, the ratio of history of needlestick and sharp instrument injury was 79.1%, and the average number of injuries was 6.72 ± 4.01.
As a result of the research, it has been determined that family health workers' occupational health and safety training increases the use of protective equipment, where the rate of injuries is high and the rate of reporting in case of injury is very low.
本研究旨在评估家庭健康工作者针刺伤和锐器伤的暴露情况及其相关因素。
该相关性描述性研究的总体包括在博尔诺瓦区26个家庭健康中心工作的150名家庭健康工作者，研究最终纳入了115名自愿参与研究的家庭健康工作者。数据共包括4个部分、26个问题：研究人员根据文献编制的问卷表、社会人口学信息表、关于针刺伤和锐器伤的问题。在数据评估中，使用SPSS 20.0软件包程序计算数量、百分比分布、均值和标准差，并进行Kruskal-Wallis分析和逻辑回归分析。
纳入研究的所有家庭健康工作者均为女性，平均年龄为38.6±6.38岁。结果显示，81.7%的家庭健康工作者接受过职业健康与安全培训，他们对锐器伤应对知识水平给出的平均分数为7.62±0.96。在研究组中，针刺伤和锐器伤史的比例为79.1%，平均受伤次数为6.72±4.01。
研究结果表明，家庭健康工作者的职业健康与安全培训增加了防护设备的使用，然而受伤率较高且受伤时的报告率非常低。
