Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens in a women's and children's hospital from 2015 to 2018, identifying key factors like the type of exposure (mostly sharp-instrument injuries) and the demographics of the exposed staff, such as trainees and nurses.
- - A total of 146 cases of exposure were reported, with a significant correlation found between occupational group and type of exposure, highlighting that junior staff and those with less than a year of experience were at a greater risk.
- - Despite the incidents, no staff members contracted a blood-borne disease, prompting recommendations for improved training and monitoring systems to enhance prevention and control measures for future occupational exposures.
