牙科人员对职业伤害的意识-一项横断面研究

摘要目的:了解卡拉奇地区牙科人员对牙科职业伤害的认知情况。方法:采用预先设计的问卷对卡拉奇两家牙科医院的牙科人员进行横断面前瞻性研究。它包括最后一年的学生，房屋官员，牙科官员，普通牙科医生，顾问，研究生住院医师和牙科工作人员助理。纳入标准包括年龄在20至60岁之间并口头同意研究的男女牙科人员。样本人群包括BDS最后一年的学生、住院部官员(HOs)、牙科官员(DOs)、普通牙科医生、咨询师、研究生住院医师(pg)和牙科工作人员助理(dsa)。向牙科保健工作者询问他们经历NSI/SII的频率、工具、程序和部门;他们对NSI/SII标准管理协议的知识和实践以及他们的报告进行了评估。选取201人作为样本。通过口头知情同意，对年龄在20-60岁的男女牙科人员进行问卷调查。采用SPSS 19.00版本进行统计分析。结果:女性和最后一年BDS参与者分别为74.6% (n=150)和35.3% (n=71)。针刺伤或锐器伤(NSI/SII)占69.6% (n=140)。最常见的致伤器械为牙针，占54.3% (n=76);最常见的致伤程序为局麻时，占28.6% (n=40)。口腔外科是报告损伤最多的科室，占53.6%(75例)。86.6% (n=174)的牙科人员知情，79.3% (n=111)的牙科人员按照标准方案进行管理。采用SPSS 19.0版本进行统计分析。p值均< 0.05。结论:喀拉蚩地区牙科职业伤害发生率较高，但牙科从业人员对牙科职业伤害的认识不足。关键词:伤口和伤害，职业伤害，牙科器械字数统计摘要:204字数统计:1781表格和图表数量:每个2个利益冲突和资金:无标题:牙科人员对职业伤害的认识-一项横断面研究摘要目的:确定卡拉奇牙科人员对牙科职业伤害的认识。方法:采用预先设计的问卷对卡拉奇两家牙科医院的牙科人员进行横断面前瞻性研究。它包括最后一年的学生，房屋官员，牙科官员，普通牙科医生，顾问，研究生住院医师和牙科工作人员助理。纳入标准包括年龄在20至60岁之间并口头同意研究的男女牙科人员。样本人群包括BDS最后一年的学生、住院部官员(HOs)、牙科官员(DOs)、普通牙科医生、咨询师、研究生住院医师(pg)和牙科工作人员助理(dsa)。向牙科保健工作者询问他们经历NSI/SII的频率、工具、程序和部门;他们对NSI/SII标准管理协议的知识和实践以及他们的报告进行了评估。选取201人作为样本。通过口头知情同意，对年龄在20-60岁的男女牙科人员进行问卷调查。采用SPSS 19.00版本进行统计分析。结果:女性和最后一年BDS参与者分别为74.6% (n=150)和35.3% (n=71)。针刺伤或锐器伤(NSI/SII)占69.6% (n=140)。最常见的致伤器械为牙针，占54.3% (n=76);最常见的致伤程序为局麻时，占28.6% (n=40)。口腔外科是报告损伤最多的科室，占53.6%(75例)。86.6% (n=174)的牙科人员知情，79.3% (n=111)的牙科人员按照标准方案进行管理。采用SPSS 19.0版本进行统计分析。p值均< 0.05。结论:喀拉蚩地区牙科职业伤害发生率较高，但牙科从业人员对牙科职业伤害的认识不足。
