Abstract:

Objective The purpose of this survey was to investigate the occupational protection status of the staff in the central sterile supply department of Shanghai hospitals,in order to provide references for strengthening the occupational safety of the staff in the central sterile supply departments. Methods A cross-sectional study was designed based on the questionnaire information collected on the staff from 46 hospitals in Shanghai between June 7,2021 to June 20,2021. The questionnaire content included basic information of the staff,types and protection of occupational exposure,frequency,time period,cause of occupational exposure and occupational protection training information etc. Results 588 staff members from 46 hospitals participated in the questionnaire and 207 staff members had occupational exposure with an incidence of 35.20%. Among them,the highest incidence of acute device injury was 26.36%,followed by hearing loss and muscle soft tissue injury or sprain,with 22.28% and 20.07%. 90.82% of occupational exposures occurred during busy working hours. The occurrence of hearing loss was positively correlated with working years. Nurses were significantly at high risk of muscle and soft tissue injury or sprain,compared with sterilizers and workers. A total of 548 staff members（93.20%） have received the occupational safety-related protection knowledge training. Conclusion The incidence of occupational exposure of central sterile supply departments in 46 hospitals in Shanghai is high. The management personnel should shift flexibly,standardize the operation process,strengthen occupational protection measures,and strengthen training to reduce the occurrence of occupational exposure.
