Retrospective analysis of medical documentation regarding occupational needlestick and sharps injuries (NSSI) in a tertiary referral surgical hospital in 1998-2018. The study group consisted of nurses and doctors who had been injured and reported the incident. The frequency of injury reports, injury rate, and characterization of circumstances surrounding NSSI are presented.
Over the period of 20 years, a total of 257 NSSI incidents were reported. The average injury rate was statistically significant for nurses (p = 0.004) and was higher before the introduction of SED. Moreover, the number of injuries among nurses showed a downward trend during the study period. However, for doctors, there was no statistically significant difference in the median puncture rate (p = 0.099), and the number of injuries showed an increasing trend.
In this study, the authors\' have demonstrated not only the occurrence of injuries and punctures in the daily work of medical personnel but also the potential for their reduction through the use of safety equipment at every workstation where healthcare services are provided using sharp medical instruments.

方法:回顾性分析1998-2018年三级转诊外科医院中有关职业性针刺和锐器损伤(NSSI)的医学文件。研究组由受伤并报告事件的护士和医生组成。受伤报告的频率,受伤率,并介绍了NSSI周围情况的表征。
结果:在20年的时间里,共报告了257起NSSI事件.护士的平均伤害率具有统计学意义(p=0.004),并且在引入SED之前更高。此外,在研究期间,护士受伤人数呈下降趋势.然而,对于医生来说,中位穿刺率无统计学差异(p=0.099),受伤人数呈上升趋势。
结论:在这项研究中,作者不仅证明了医务人员日常工作中受伤和穿刺的发生,而且还证明了通过在使用锋利医疗仪器提供医疗服务的每个工作站使用安全设备来减少伤害和穿刺的可能性。IntJOccupMedEnvironHealth。2024;37(2)。
