Investigation on the current situation of occupational exposure and protection for nursing staff in some tertiary hospitals in Beijing
Objective To understand the current situation of occupational exposure protection for hospital nursing staff and to provide a basis for formulating occupational exposure protection measures.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate and analyze the current status of occupational exposure protection among nursing staff in 9 tertiary hospitals in Beijing.Results A total of 958 on-the-job nursing staff were surveyed,and 385 nursing staff who had experienced occupational exposure accounted for 40.19%of the total surveyed population.The awareness and implementation rates of standard prevention among nursing staff were 92.28%and 88.41%,respectively.23.38%of hospitals did not have safe injection equipment.96.36%of nursing staff had received occupational exposure training,and most respondents believed that it was necessary to strengthen occupational exposure training for newly hired nursing staff.Conclusion Nursing staff in large hospitals in Beijing have a high awareness of standard prevention measures.However,some hospitals lack safe injection equipment and should establish compensation mechanisms for occupational exposure.
