Abstract

Objective

Woman ophthalmologists of childbearing age are exposed to different types of occupational risks which can be harmful to pregnancy and to the development of the fetus. The objective of this paper is to analyze the perception of these risks during pregnancy.

Methods

We designed a survey which was answered by 42 ophthalmologists who had been working during pregnancy. We report the perception of global and specific risk according to the type of agent.

Results

38.1% of the ophthalmologists perceive that the overall risk of working during pregnancy is high, and 35.7% consider it moderate. Regarding specific risk, the most relevant agents are the ergonomic and psychosocial ones. Physical agents are considered the least important.

Conclusions

Although most of the surveyed ophthalmologists perceived the occupational risk as high or moderate, only 19% of them took time off work due to this reason. The most important agents were ergonomic and psychosocial.

女眼科医生对孕期职业危害的看法。

目的：育龄妇女眼科医生面临不同类型的职业风险，这些风险可能对怀孕和胎儿发育有害。本文旨在分析孕期对这些风险的认识：我们设计了一项调查，由 42 名在孕期工作的眼科医生回答。结果：38.1%的眼科医生认为妊娠期存在风险，38.1%的眼科医生认为妊娠期存在风险，38.1%的眼科医生认为妊娠期存在风险：38.1%的眼科医生认为孕期工作的总体风险较高，35.7%的眼科医生认为风险适中。在具体风险方面，最相关的因素是人体工程学因素和社会心理因素。结论：尽管大多数接受调查的眼科医生认为职业风险为高或中度，但只有 19% 的人因此而请假。最重要的因素是人体工程学和社会心理因素。
