Journal of China Medical University 2015;(12):1116-1119,1124
Objective to investigate the situation of occupational health of nurses,so as to provide a reference for protecting the health of nurses. Methods Cluster sampling method was employed in this study. totally 1 204 nurses of two three-level general hospital and a cancer hospital in Bei-jing were randomly surveyed with homemade health of nurses′cross-sectional questionnaire,and a nurse medical examination report was access at the same time. Results there was statistically significant difference in the incidence of nurses work pressure and work fatigue in different hospitals and different departments(P < 0.05). 95.18% of the nurses undergo regular medical examinations,of which 56.97% were found abnormal. the dif-ferences in the incidence rate of abnormal medical examination results in nurses were statistically significant among different hospital and different de-partments(P < 0.05). Conclusion Great job stress and work fatigue are observed in nurses,and they have health problems. It is necessary for the hospital to take appropriate interventions to improve physical and mental health nurses.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics, risk factors, outcome and prevention strategy of very low birth weight infant (VLBWI) with nosocomial infection in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods The VLBWIs whose birth weight were less than 1500 g and hospital stays were more than 48 hours in NICU of Peking University Third Hospital from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2008 were selected in this study. They were divided into nosocomial infection group and non-infection group. The clinical features and outcomes of nosocomial infection were summarized and the risk factors of which were analyzed with Logistic regression. Results There were 158 VLBWIs who fit for the criteria of our study during the eleven years, the mean birth weight was (1263.8± 155.5) g and the mean gestational age was (30.4±2.1) weeks. There were 70 times and 56 cases suffered from nosocomial infections. The incidence of nosocomial infection was 35.4% and hospital stay-related incidence was 14.4‰. Among 70 times of infections, there were 40(57.1%) pneumonia, 22(31.4%) septicemia, 4(5.8%) thrush, 1(1.4%)conjunctivitis, 1 ( 1.4%) upper respiratory tract infection and 2 (2.9%) unknown site infections.Forty-one strains of bacteria were isolated from 121 specimens, among which gram-negative bacillus accounted for 56.1% and gram-positive cocci for 46.3%. The duration of hospital stay of VLBWIs with nosocomial infection was significantly longer than that without [(43.7±15.5) d vs (26.3±14.4) d] (t = -7.058, P<0.01). The fatality rate of VLBWIs with and without nosocomial infection was 3.6% (2/56) and 3.9% (4/102), and there was no significant difference (x2 = 0.012,P>0.05). Logistic regression showed that mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.388, 95% CI: 1.656-6.932, P=0.001) and parenteral nutrition (OR= 7.054, 95%CI: 2.005-24.813, P=0.002) were risk factors of nosocomial infection. Conclusions The incidence of nosocomial infection in VLBWIs in NICU is high. Mechanical ventilation and parenteral nutrition should be avoided and the duration of invasive operation and treatment should be shortened as much as possible to minimize the chances of nosocomial infection in VLBWIs.

Objective:
To investigate the infertility rate and influencing factors of female workers in China's nine industries.
Methods:
Using multi-stage sampling method, from January to November in 2016. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on the infertility of 33 685 female workers in the nine industries including medical and health, petrochemical, metallurgy, railway, machinery manufacturing and electronics,a questionnaire survey. First, three provincial capitals were randomly selected in seven regions. And then we consulted and communicated with the hospital of the provincial city's occupational disease prevention and treatment, marking and coding the target enterprise within its jurisdiction, In these enterprises, we randomly selected five companies. Finally, all women workers who meet the inclusion criteria were surveyed in those enterprises which were drawn. Use the"female workers reproductive health questionnaire" to collect female workers demographic status, occupational status and reproductive status and other data. The single factor analysis of infertility was performed by chi-square test. Multivariate analysis of infertility was carried out by logistic regression model.
Results:
The age of female workers in the nine industries was (35.98±7.98) years. The infertility rate for one year of female workers in typical industry was 24.81% (8 358/33 685), the infertility rate for two years being13.47% (4 537/33 685), the infertility rate for two years being 10.78% (3 632/33 685). Compared to the east China region, the infertility rate was the highest in the south region (

Objective:To understand the mental health status of female workers in different industries in China, and to explore the influence of age, family per capita income, working hours and other factors on the mental health of female employees.Methods:From May to July 2016, a cluster sampling survey was conducted among female workers from 15 Provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) in different industries. A total of 60230 questionnaires were distributed and 57777 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective rate of 95.9%. The survey included the basic information and Symptom Self-assessment Scale, etc. The measured data were in accordance with the normal distribution by normality test and were expressed as ± s. The rates of counting data were compared using the χ 2 test. And unconditioned logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results:There were significant differences in the detection rates of mental health problems among female employees of different ages, marital status, education level, family per capita income, industry classification, working hours, and frequent night shifts ( P<0.01) . The top 3 factors of positive mental health problems were obsessive-compulsive symptoms (23.7%) , depression (16.0%) and interpersonal sensitivity (15.4%) . The factors such as age, education level, family per capita income, industry classification, working hours and frequent night shifts had statistical significances on the risk of female employees' mental health problems ( P<0.05) . Female employees aged 30-39, aged 40-49, with high school education to junior college, bachelor degree or above, engaged in tertiary industry, working time of 8-9 h/d, working time of 9-11 h/d, working time of more than 11 h/d and regular night shifts had higher risk of mental health problems ( OR=1.199, 1.187, 1.296, 1.539, 1.236, 1.674, 1.601, 1.358, 1.393, P<0.05) . Conclusion:The mental health problems of female workers are still serious, we should pay attention to the illegal long-term work and night-shift work, and take effective health promotion measures to effectively improve the mental health level of female workers.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence of malignant tumors in nurses and its influencing factors and to provide a reference for protecting the health of nurses.
METHODSCluster sampling was used to randomly survey 1204 married nurses working in one tumor hospital and two tertiary general hospital in Beijing, China, from June to August in 2014. Using the homemade health questionnaire and medical examination reports, the prevalence of malignant tumors in nurses was analyzed.
RESULTSThe prevalence of malignant tumors in nurses was 18.3‰, and the prevalence of malignant tumors in the tumor hospital was the highest, reaching 40.1‰. The prevalence of malignant tumors varied significantly between nurses in different hospitals (P<0.05) and in different departments (P<0.05). The malignant tumors in nurses mainly included breast cancer, thyroid cancer, and cervical cancer. The mean age of nurses suffering from malignant tumors was 41 years, and the mean length of service was 20 years. The hospital and department where nurses worked, as well as their age and length of service, were significantly associated with malignant tumors (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe prevalence of breast cancer, thyroid cancer, and cervical cancer is high in nurses surveyed, particularly those working in the tumor hospital. Further in-depth analysis of the reasons is needed to take preventive interventions for protecting the health of nurses.
