Nurse practitioners with master's degrees were surveyed to assess the type and volume of occupational health services provided by primary care as compared with occupational health practitioners and the knowledge base in occupational health in these two groups. Thirty-six percent of 224 nonoccupational health nurse practitioners reported caseloads with 10% or more occupationally related chief complaints; 21% reported treating work-related injury or illness at least once per week. By contrast, a large percentage of nonoccupational health practitioners failed the knowledge-based exam. Large-scale prevention of occupational illness and injury warrants that primary care providers receive training in occupational health.
对拥有硕士学位的执业护士进行了调查，以评估初级保健所提供的职业健康服务的类型和数量，并与职业健康从业者进行比较，同时评估这两组人员在职业健康方面的知识基础。在224名非职业健康执业护士中，36%报告其工作量中有10%或更多与职业相关的主要诉求；21%报告每周至少治疗一次与工作相关的伤病。相比之下，很大比例的非职业健康从业者未能通过基于知识的考试。大规模预防职业疾病和伤害需要初级保健提供者接受职业健康方面的培训。
