HIV occupational exposure of medical staff in operating room and its influencing factors
Objective To analyze the occupational exposure of human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)among medical staff in operating room and its influencing factors,to provide theoretical basis for improving their awareness of prevention and occupational protection measures.Methods A total of 60 medical staff working in the operating room of the Second and First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2021 to September 2023 were selected to conduct an HIV occupational exposure survey,the distribution of HIV occupational exposure and post-exposure disposal were analyzed.According to whether occupational exposure to HIV occurred,they were divided into non-occurrence group and occurrence group,the factors affecting occupational exposure to HIV were analyzed.Results Among 60 medical staff,8 had occupational exposure to HIV,accounted for 13.33%.Of these 2 were stab wounds,3 were cut by sharp instruments and 3 were skin and mucous membranes exposure.All of them performed wounds treatment within 5-30 min after occupational exposure to HIV.After exposure,4 people took emergency treatment,2 people took blood tests for the exposure source,and 1 person took post-exposure prophylaxis and reported to the infection center.Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that shorter working years and nurses were the risk factors for occupational exposure to HIV(P<0.05).Conclusion Nurses and shorter working years were the factors influencing the occupational exposure of health care workers to HIV.Therefore,strengthening the management and training of HIV had a positive impact on reducing the occupational exposure of health care workers.
