Currently, many types of vaccines are developed but there are still many issues related to their acceptance among different occupational groups. It is vital to investigate this issue for clarification of the problem and timely targeting of its roots, particularly among the highly exposed workers. Aim of Work: To estimate the level of vaccine acceptance among a group of nurses in Mansoura University Hospitals, Egypt, and to shed the light on vaccines acceptance associated factors, and the reasons for non-acceptance. Materials and Methods: This is an observational descriptive cross-sectional study that was conducted on 262 nurses working in Mansoura University Hospitals, Egypt, during the year 2021. Data were collected using an anonymous self-administered questionnaire. Vaccines’ acceptance was questioned, and the reasons for not accepting the vaccines were ascertained. Results: Only 22.1% of nurses in Mansoura University Hospitals accepted to be vaccinated (4.2% already vaccinated and 17.9% are willing to take the vaccine) especially those with self-reported good health status [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.5 (1.5-8.1)]. The independent predictor on logistic regression is good/ fair self-rated health with AOR= 3.5 (1.5-8.1). Concerns about vaccines safety and side effects were the most reported reasons for non-acceptance of vaccination. Vaccine safety concerns and distrust issues were reported. Conclusion and Recommendations: Being a male, previously infected, with good or fair self-rated health were associated Elmetwaly MMF et al. 94","PeriodicalId":92893,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian journal of occupational medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45030203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The risk factors for reproductive problems could be due to occupational or environmental factors. Aim of Work: This study aimed to determine reproductive health problems, investigate potential occupational reproductive health hazards, work-related factors, and measure the effectiveness of reproductive health education in improving female employee’s knowledge and attitude toward occupational reproductive hazards. Materials and Methods: A pre-post interventional study was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire that included a workplace screening tool for reproductive hazards, and questions for assessment the reproductive health of the participants. A cluster sampling technique was used and all the female employees involved in the randomly selected clusters were invited to participate in the study. Results: Ergonomic factors were the highest reproductive health hazards followed by psychological, chemical, physical, and biological agents (66%, 52.3%, 45.1%, 30.0%, and 10.0%, respectively). About 40.4% of the studied group reported a problem in conceiving a child, and 38% had a history of miscarriage, preterm, stillbirth, or deformed offspring. Miscarriage was the highest reported abnormal obstetric outcome among married participants (22.5%). Conclusion: Ergonomic and psychological hazards were the highest reported ones affecting the reproductive health of participants. Significant associations have been observed between workplace factors and both history of treatment of infertility, and time of pregnancy longer than one year.

Serum Neopterin is used as indicative of a pro-inflammatory immune status and it could be used as a biological marker for diagnosis of silicosis Aim of Work: To assess the environmental exposure for silica at clay brick industry and evaluate the use of serum Neopterin as an early biomarker for silicosis among silica exposed workers. Materials and Methods: A cross-section study was done on 118 individuals; 58 exposed to silica (28 workers of them were diagnosed to have silicosis) and 60 unexposed workers were used as control. The studied group was subjected to a questionnaire, clinical examination, spirometry, chest radiograph, serum Neopterin, and environmental measurements. Results: Mean values of environmental free crystalline and respirable silica were higher than the national and international permissible levels. Significantly deteriorated spirometry measurements were observed among exposed workers mostly among the silicotic group. The serum Neopterin median was significantly higher among the silicotic group (23.8nml) than the non-silicotic exposed (12.1nml) and control groups (3.6nml). There were significant positive correlations of Neopterin level with the silica exposure (r = 0.9), the work duration (r =0.8), and radiographic findings (r =0.7). Monitoring of serum Neopterin showed its good diagnostic capacity with cutoff value17nm/L (The area under the curve was 0.88), with sensitivity, 86 % and specificity of 87%.
