Abstract:
Objective This investigation was to define the occupational security-related factors in community nurses and effective strategies to improve their service awareness and occupational protection ability.Methods A questionnaire was used for 1702 community nurses in Guangzhou to learn occupational security-related factors and occupational protection skills.Results Self-report results found that 21.3% (362/1702) nurses fully understood the occupational security-related factors,12.0% (204/1702) nurses knew the requirement for occupational security,and 12.3% (209/1702) nurse could provide occupational protection.Conclusions These results suggested that most community nurses showed poorer occupational protection awareness and ability.Thus,occupation safety management regulations,standardized performance procedure and emergency response plan should be put forward,and further community nurse training programme need to be initiated.
