Investigation on occupational disease monitoring and assessment capabilities of disease prevention and control institutions at the city and county levels in Sichuan Province from 2022 to 2023
Objective To understand the basic situation of technical support institutions for occupational disease monitoring and assessment in Sichuan Province,to analyze the existing problems,to ensure occupational hazard detection and evaluation,and to provide basis for enhancing the capacity building of occupational disease monitoring and assessment in the disease prevention and control system(hereinafter referred to as"CDCs")in Sichuan Province.Methods Relevant data on the construction of professional health talent teams,key instruments and equipment for detecting occupational hazard factors,and the construction of core capabilities for detecting occupational hazard factors of disease prevention and control institutions at the city and county levels of Sichuan Province from 2022 to 2023 were collected.Indicators such as personnel,key equipment and core capabilities were calculated by Excel.And data were analyzed by percentages.Results From 2022 to 2023,a total of 416 questionnaires on occupational disease monitoring and evaluation information of CDCs at the city and county levels of Sichuan Province were collected,including 21 municipal CDCs and 187 county-level CDCs.The talent team construction and the key equipment for physical and chemical inspection of 21 municipal CDCs met the standards,and the satisfaction rate of sampling and testing equipment reached 95.24%.The satisfaction rate of core competence for occupational hazard factor detection was 71.43%.The satisfaction rates of key equipment for physical and chemical inspection,sampling and detection of 186 county-level CDCs were the highest,which were 93.05%and 74.87%,respectively.The satisfaction rate of talent team construction was 50.27%,and the satisfaction rate of core competence for detection was 34.76%.Among the 208 municipal and county-level CDCs,40 had obtained occupational health technical service qualifications,and 18 had obtained radiological health technical service qualifications.The core competence of 208 municipal and county-level CDCs was weak,and the rate of agency satisfaction was 38.46%.Conclusions From 2022 to 2023,the technical support capacity of occupational disease monitoring and evaluation of disease prevention and control institutions at the city and county levels in Sichuan Province showed a gradual upward trend.However,the core testing capacity of CDCs at the city and county levels still has much room for improvement.Accelerating the construction of the supporting capacity of occupational disease prevention and control institutions at the city and county levels and improving the technical capacity of occupational health professionals are still the top priority to ensure the implementation and landing of occupational disease prevention and control.
