Abstract

Introduction. Biomedical waste represents an environmental concern and a risk to healthcare workers, users of healthcare services, and the surrounding population. This study aimed to assess the management of solid and liquid biomedical waste in University Hospitals Centers (UHC) in Togo in 2021. Methods. This is a cross-sectional, evaluative and analytical study undertaken in 2021. It involved 3 UHCs, 25 departments, 340 care providers and departments randomly selected, 72 directors or deputies, supervisors and heads of departments, 27 collection and incineration agents selected by a reasoned choice technique, and 44 patients and attendants selected by an accidental choice technique. Data analysis was done using Pearson’s Chi 2 statistical test for comparing proportions and logistic regression. Results. Solid and liquid waste management was “poor” due to non-use of waste management guidelines (ORa = 3.50; p = 0.0000), insufficient training of healthcare providers and collection agents (ORa = 6.55; p = 0.0000 and ORa = 6.08; p = 0.0000

评估多哥大学医院中心(CHU)生物医学固体和液体废物管理，2021年

介绍。生物医学废物是一个环境问题，对卫生保健工作者、卫生保健服务使用者和周围人口构成风险。本研究旨在评估2021年多哥大学医院中心(UHC)固体和液体生物医学废物的管理情况。方法。这是一项于2021年进行的横断面、评估和分析研究。调查涉及3所全民健康覆盖中心、25个科室、340个随机选择的护理提供者和科室、72名主任或副主任、主管和科室主任、27名采用合理选择技术的收集和焚烧剂、44名采用意外选择技术的患者和护理人员。数据分析采用Pearson’s Chi 2统计检验比较比例和逻辑回归。结果。由于没有使用废物管理准则，固体和液体废物管理“很差”(ORa = 3.50;p = 0.0000)，医疗保健提供者和收款代理人培训不足(ORa = 6.55;p = 0.0000, ORa = 6.08;P = 0.0000
