Abstract

Crispim et al. demonstrated the independent risk factors for acquiring COVID-19 among healthcare personnel. They also showed the importance of infection prevention training to avoid acquiring COVID-19 in this population.

Objective: To verify the rate of COVID-19 infection among healthcare personnel at high and low risk of COVID-19 infection and identify the underlying risk factors.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between December 1, 2020 and February 28, 2021. Associations were verified between the levels of risk (high or low) of occupational COVID-19 infection and participant characteristics using the World Health Organization risk assessment questionnaire and adjusted using logistic regression models in single and multiple approaches.

Results: Of the 486 participants, 57.4% were classified as having a high occupational risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection, with a diagnosis rate of 12.1%. The factors identified in the multivariate analysis for high occupational risk were age up to 29 years (odds ratio [OR] = 2.7, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] = 1.63-4.47), monthly family income greater than eight times the basic salary (OR= 1.8, 95%CI= 1.07-3.16), and healthcare personnel who did not participate in initial training to work in the area of patients with COVID-19 infection (OR= 2.39, 95%CI= 1.53-3.75).

Conclusion: Encouraging training for occupational infection prevention is very important to reduce the impact of infectious diseases on healthcare personnel, especially young health professionals. COVID-19 infection among healthcare personnel has impacted the workforce in hospitals. Knowledge of the risk factors for COVID-19 infection is important for disease prevention measures. Failure to train healthcare personnel is an important risk factor for acquiring COVID-19.

医护人员感染 COVID-19 的高职业风险因素。
Crispim 等人证明了医护人员感染 COVID-19 的独立风险因素。他们还指出了在这一人群中开展感染预防培训以避免感染 COVID-19 的重要性:核实医护人员中 COVID-19 感染高风险和低风险人群的 COVID-19 感染率,并确定潜在的风险因素:这项横断面研究在 2020 年 12 月 1 日至 2021 年 2 月 28 日期间进行。使用世界卫生组织风险评估问卷验证了职业 COVID-19 感染风险水平(高或低)与参与者特征之间的关联,并使用逻辑回归模型以单一和多重方法进行了调整:在 486 名参与者中,57.4% 被归类为感染 SARS-CoV-2 的高职业风险人群,确诊率为 12.1%。在多变量分析中确定的高职业风险因素包括:年龄不超过 29 岁(比值比 [OR] = 2.7,95% 置信区间 [95%CI] = 1.63-4.47)、家庭月收入超过基本工资的 8 倍(OR= 1.8,95%CI= 1.07-3.16)、医护人员未参加在 COVID-19 感染患者所在地区工作的初步培训(OR= 2.39,95%CI= 1.53-3.75):鼓励开展职业感染预防培训对于减少传染病对医护人员,尤其是年轻医护人员的影响非常重要。医护人员中的 COVID-19 感染对医院的劳动力造成了影响。了解 COVID-19 感染的风险因素对于疾病预防措施非常重要。未能对医护人员进行培训是感染 COVID-19 的一个重要风险因素。
