To study the effect of working in health services on complications of pregnancy, preterm deliveries and low birthweight (LBW).
These indices were studied in 130 pregnancies that occurred within the preceding 5 years in 100 nursing officers (NOs) and 126 pregnancies in 100 clerical workers (CWs). Risk was assessed by calculating odds ratios. Confounding and interaction effects were studied by stratification.
Socio-economic background and antenatal care utilization in the two groups were similar. Occurrence of LBW was not significantly different (OR = 1.04; 0.57 < OR < 1.89; P = 0.89) although complications of pregnancy (OR = 2.18; 1.09 < OR < 4.38; P = 0.017) and preterm deliveries (OR = 5.64; 1.15 < OR < 37.73; P = 0.013) were higher in NOs. Further analysis showed that employment in health services has a positive effect in prevention of LBW among NOs in the presence of other risk factors.
Working in the health services had a negative effect on some of the indices while benefits of such employment had a positive effect on birth-weight.
研究从事卫生服务工作对妊娠并发症、早产和低出生体重(LBW)的影响。
对100名护士(NO)在过去5年内发生的130次妊娠以及100名文职人员(CW)的126次妊娠的这些指标进行了研究。通过计算比值比评估风险。通过分层研究混杂和交互作用。
两组的社会经济背景和产前护理利用情况相似。低出生体重的发生率无显著差异(比值比=1.04;0.57<比值比<1.89;P=0.89),尽管护士组的妊娠并发症(比值比=2.18;1.09<比值比<4.38;P=0.017)和早产(比值比=5.64;1.15<比值比<37.73;P=0.013)发生率较高。进一步分析表明,在存在其他风险因素的情况下,从事卫生服务工作对护士预防低出生体重有积极作用。
从事卫生服务工作对某些指标有负面影响,而这种工作的益处对出生体重有积极影响。
