Abstract:
Objective To realize basic status of occupational exposure among medical postgraduates,and provide theoretical evidence for making occupational precaution measures.Methods Data about occupational exposure among medical postgraduates in a teaching hospital between January 2011 and December 2013 were analyzed retro-spectively.Results A total of 3 362 medical postgraduates were monitored,56 (1 .67%)sustained occupational ex-posure.The most common occupational exposure sites were left hand thumbs(n=15,26.79%),occupational expo-sure most frequently occurred during operation(n=29,51 .79%),a total of 40(71 .43%)occupational exposure oc-curred during the process of operation and invasive procedure,all were sharp injuries.46(82.14%)exposure sources were with bloodborne-transmitted diseases.Surgery students accounted for 66.07%(n =37)of students sustained occupational exposure,exposure rate in master’s candidates was higher than doctoral candidates(2.31 % vs 0.28%,χ2 =18.325,P <0.001 ).After timely treatment and preventive medication,none of the students were infected. Conclusion It is necessary to strengthen the occupational safety education for medical postgraduates,improve pre-caution awareness,standardize all kinds of procedures,and implement standard precaution;timely and effective treatment after exposure is important for reducing occupational injury among medical postgraduates.
