摘要
背景:无论假定患者的感染状态如何,标准的安全预防措施在卫生保健服务中都是必不可少的。全球卫生保健工作者可获得《普遍安全预防指南》中详述的安全处理做法。然而,有文件表明,特别是在包括尼日利亚在内的发展中国家,对它的遵守情况不佳。因此,本研究旨在评估尼日利亚高原州乔斯大学教学医院住院医生的安全处理做法水平及其决定因素。方法:采用定量收集数据的方法,对2018年192名住院医师进行横断面研究。SPSS 20版用于数据分析,卡方检验用于确定安全处理实践的决定因素。采用粗优势比和95%置信区间,p值< 0.05认为有统计学意义。结果:调查对象的平均年龄为33±3岁,男性119人,占62.0%。据报告,120人(62.5%)对感染、预防和控制有良好的了解,137人(71.3%)采取了安全处理方法。性别(OR = 4.5;95% CI = 2.05-9.85)和知识水平(OR = 1.97;95% CI = 1.05-3.72)是安全操作实践的决定因素。结论:这项研究揭示了需要提高安全处理实践的依从性水平,因为它远未达到最佳水平。
Assessment of safe handling practices among resident doctors in Jos University Teaching Hospital Plateau state, Nigeria.
Background: Standard safety precautions are essential in health care delivery regardless of the presumed infectious state of the patients. Safe handling practices as detailed in the universal safety precaution guidelines are available to health care workers globally. However, there have been documentation of suboptimal adherence to it especially in the developing countries including Nigeria. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the level of safe handling practices and its determinants among resident doctors in Jos University Teaching Hospital, Plateau state, Nigeria.
Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted among 192 resident doctors using quantitative method of data collection in 2018.SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis with chi square test used to identify the determinants of safe handling practices. Crude odds ratio as well as 95% confidence interval were used with a p-value of < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
Results: The mean age of the respondents in the study was 33 ± 3 years with 119 (62.0%) of the respondents being males. Good knowledge of infection, prevention and control was reported among 120 (62.5%) while 137 (71.3%) were found to have engaged in safe handling practices. Sex (OR = 4.5; 95% CI = 2.05-9.85) and level of knowledge (OR = 1.97; 95% CI = 1.05-3.72) were found as the determinants of safe handling practice.
Conclusion: This study has brought to light the need for improvement in the level of compliance with safe handling practices as it is far from the optimum.
