[Study on intervention of bloodborne pathogen exposure in a general hospital].

Objective: To improve the awareness of bloodborne pathogen exposure protection knowledge, reduce the contact incidence (including sharp injuries, contacting with the broken skin and mucous mem-brane contact) , and increase the self-report incidence of bloodborne pathogen exposure in the healthcare work-ers of the investigated hospital after the intervention. To summarize effective prevention and intervention mea-sures of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogen. Methods: The project was on the basis of previous inves-tigations in a general hospital, after comparing the personnel structure and departments distribution of 727 HC-Ws before the intervention and 614 HCWs after the intervention, we selected several departments in which the healthcare workers with a higher risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens. We promoted the hospi-tal to set up occupational health prevention and control system, improved related files, supplemented by knowl-edge training, discussion and field guidance, such a comprehensive intervention in the hospital. After the inter-vention, we conducted an cross-sectional investigation, and compared the rate of protection knowledge aware-ness, self-reporting rate after exposure, occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens (including sharp inju-ries, contacting with the broken skin and mucous membrane contact) incidence before and after the intervention. Results: Before and after the intervention, the total score of the investigated population of 14 knowledge points that we focused on in training showed a significant difference ( P <0.05) , total contact incidence of bloodborne pathogen exposure reduced from 81.57 persons/100 persons per year to 43.81 persons/100 persons per year, the RR of bloodborne pathogen exposure in the former investigation was 1.86 times of that in the latter investigation, the self-reported incidence increased form 2.06 persons/100persons per year to 9.45 persons/100 persons per year, self-reporting rate after exposure increased form 0.47% to 9.65%. Conclusion: The interventions signifi-cantly improved the awareness of bloodborne pathogen exposure protection knowledge, effectively reduced the contact incidence of bloodborne pathogen exposure, and increased the self-reported incidence in the healthcare workers of the investigated hospital.
