摘要

目的:本研究的目的是确定尼日利亚北部医疗辐射工作者的职业危害流行率,并评估该地区现有职业安全措施的充分性。材料和方法:对尼日利亚北部六所三级医疗机构的139名医疗辐射工作者进行的前瞻性横断面研究。采用结构化调查问卷,获取职业病危害发生、防治措施等重要信息。数据分析采用描述性和推断统计学,并使用SPSS计算机软件。结果:在分发的159份问卷中,检索到139份,回复率为87.4%。压力、直接接触体液和造影剂飞溅是三种最常见的危害,分别有121份(87.1%)、78份(56.1%)和72份(51.8%)报告。结论:尼日利亚北部的医疗辐射工作者面临着广泛的职业危害,因此必须共同努力减轻这些危害。

Occupational hazards among medical radiation workers
Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of occupational hazards among medical radiation workers in Northern Nigeria and to assess the adequacy of existing occupational safety measures in the region. Materials and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study of 139 medical radiation workers in six tertiary health-care institutions in northern Nigeria. Structured questionnaires were used to obtain vital information about the occurrence of occupational hazards, prevention and control measures. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using the computer software SPSS. Results: Out of 159 questionnaires distributed 139 were retrieved giving a response rate 87.4%. Stress, direct contact with bodily fluids, and contrast media splashes were the three most prevalent hazards reported by 121 (87.1%), 78 (56.1%), and 72 (51.8%), respectively. Conclusion: Medical radiation workers in Northern Nigeria face a wide range of occupational hazards, and therefore concerted efforts must be channeled toward mitigating these hazards.
