| Popis: |
Health care workers (HCWs) are exposed to the risk of occupational infections due to accidental exposures such as needlestick injuries, sharp injuries and mucosal exposure of contaminated blood or body fluids. A questionnaire was devised to determine occupational exposures (OEs) they had experienced, behaviours following OE, condition of hepatitis B virus immunization, their knowledge and compliance on universal precautions. One hundred and thirty HCWs filled out the questionnaire. One hundred and three (79.2%) of participants determined at least one or more occupational exposure during last one year. Eighteen (17.5%) of participants exposed to accidental exposure during last one year reported these exposures. One hundred and nine (83.8%) of participants had history of hepatitis B virus vaccination. Results showed that only 30 (23.1%) followed universal precautions completely. |
