背景:卫生保健专业人员有可能在日常工作中接触细胞毒性药物。该研究旨在评估卫生专业人员在冈达尔大学专科医院护理细胞毒性药物和相关因素的实践。
方法:采用横断面研究设计。EPIInfo7用于数据输入,然后导出到SPSS20中进行统计分析。计算具有标准偏差的频率和平均值。已进行Logistic回归以找出相关因素。进行了95%不确定区间的粗略和调整后的赔率比。p<0.05的变量被宣布为细胞毒性药物处理实践的重要因素。
结果:该研究使用了四百零十二名卫生专业人员,以97.4%的反应率参加了该研究。研究参与者的平均年龄为29.9岁,范围为20-60岁,20名(53.4%)参与者为男性。一百五十五(37.6%)卫生专业人员具有良好的细胞毒性药物处理实践。平均每天参加4-9例患者(AOR=2.12,95%CI:1.05,4.22),中等工作应力(AOR=2.01,95%CI:1.04,3.90),细胞毒性药物处理手册的可用性(AOR=2.51:95%CI:1.22,5.12),良好的知识(AOR=4.09,95%CI:2.35,7.11)与细胞毒性药物处理实践显着相关。
结论:细胞毒性药物处理护理的实践较低。它要求卫生部门的参与,以避免这种不充分的做法,并且必须专注于为细胞毒性药物处理的实践提供知识和后勤。
BACKGROUND: Health care professionals are potential to be in contact with cytotoxic drugs during their daily work activ-ities. The study aimed to assess the practice of health professionals to care for cytotoxic drugs and associated factors in the University of Gondar Specialized Hospital.
METHODS: Cross-sectional study design was employed. EPI Info 7 was used for data entry and then exported into SPSS 20 for statistical analysis. Frequencies and mean with standard deviation were computed. Logistic regression had been performed to find out associated factors. Crude\' and adjusted Odds\' ratio with 95% uncertainty interval was done. Variables with a p < 0.05 were declared as significant factors for practice of cytotoxic drug handling.
RESULTS: The study used four-hundred and twelve health professionals took part in the study with 97.4% response rate. The mean age of study participants was 29.9 years ranging from 20-60 years and twenty (53.4%) participants were males. One hundred and fifty-five (37.6%) health professionals had good cytotoxic drug handling practice. Attending an average of 4-9 patients per day (AOR = 2.12, 95% CI: 1.05, 4.22), Medium work stress (AOR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.04, 3.90), availability of cytotoxic drug handling manual (AOR = 2.51: 95% CI: 1.22, 5.12), and good knowledge (AOR = 4.09, 95% CI: 2.35, 7.11) were significantly associated with cytotoxic drug handling practice.
CONCLUSIONS: The practice of cytotoxic drug handling care was low. It demands the engagement of the health sector to avert such inadequate practice and has to focus on delivering knowledge and logistics for the practice of cytotoxic drug handling.
