During their academic activities, nursing students are required to carry out clinical internships during which they can be exposed to contamination by bloodborne pathogens. Objective. The study was carried out to determine the prevalence and associated factors of occupational exposure to biological material potentially infected by blood in a population of nursing students.
A cross-sectional design was used in this study and a self-administered questionnaire was provided to students. The research work was conducted from February 20, 2022, to March 15, 2022.
The questionnaire was completed by 119 students. A total of 94 (78.99%) of the participants were female with a mean age of 20.46±1.16 years. 48 (40.34%) exposures were recorded with corresponding incidence rates of 0.4 exposures/person/year. With at least one accidental exposure to blood in 21 (43.75%) students. The OR analysis made by year of study showed that the ratio between the exposure risk was lower than 1 with P>0.05. The comparison between the different nursing specialties showed a significant difference between the students of General Nurses and Family and Community Health Nurses. The variables associated with exposures to blood were: female sex and personal protective equipment.
During their clinical training, nursing students face several types of risks including biological through blood. In order to prevent the occurrence of these incidents, the consequences of which can be fatal, it is necessary to invest in training sessions and our institute should set up a local management unit for following the exposed students.
在学业活动期间，护理专业学生需要进行临床实习，在此期间他们可能会接触到血源性病原体污染。目的：本研究旨在确定护理专业学生群体中职业暴露于潜在血液感染生物材料的患病率及相关因素。
本研究采用横断面设计，向学生提供自填式问卷。研究工作于2022年2月20日至2022年3月15日进行。
119名学生完成了问卷。共有94名（78.99%）参与者为女性，平均年龄为20.46±1.16岁。记录到48次（40.34%）暴露，相应发病率为0.4次/人/年。21名（43.75%）学生至少有一次意外血液暴露。按学习年份进行的OR分析显示，暴露风险比低于1，P>0.05。不同护理专业之间的比较显示，普通护士专业学生与家庭和社区健康护士专业学生之间存在显著差异。与血液暴露相关的变量为：女性性别和个人防护装备。
在临床培训期间，护理专业学生面临多种风险，包括血液传播的生物风险。为防止这些可能致命的事件发生，有必要投入培训课程，并且我们学院应设立一个本地管理单位来跟踪受暴露学生。
