| Popis: | Background and Design: To examine the effectiveness of İstanbul Occupational Diseases Hospital on employer attitude and worker’s health in terms of occupational skin diseases and also to investigate the prognosis of occupational skin diseases. Materials and Methods: In 2014-2015, 56 patients who were admitted to İstanbul Occupational Disease Hospital and diagnosed with occupational dermatosis were included in the study. The examination findings, diagnoses, disease involvement areas and the consultation data of patients who were replaced, not made and dismissed, and professional groups files were obtained and analyzed retrospectively during the initial and subsequent checkups of the patients. Results: Of the 56 patients with a mean age of 36, 9 (16.1%) were female and 47 (83.9%) were male. The most common occupational dermatosis was contact dermatitis. Of these, 29 (51.8%) were evaluated as irritants and 22 (39.3%) as allergic contact dermatitis. Allergic contact urticaria in 3 patients, perniosis in one patient and systemic sclerosis in one patient were detected. The most common locations of the dermatoses were the hands. Irritant dermatitis was the most common in metal and allergic dermatitis was the most common in textile workers. 32 (57.1%) patients underwent a departmental changewhile 24 (42.9%) patients did not. While 14 (58.3%) patients were dismissed, 10 (41.7%) continued to work in the same department. Of the 32 patients who underwent departmental changes, 24 (75%) were monitored for improvement, while 8 (25%) were not. Recovery was observed in 32 (71.2%) of the 46 patients with environment change and it was statistically significant (p=0.001). No recurrence was observed in any of the patients who fully recovered during their the six-month follow-up. Conclusion: Environment change improvement monitoring in 32 of 46 workers (71.2%) shows the importance of environment change in occupational dermatoses and the contribution of our hospital to worker health. The fact that 32 (57.1%) patients underwent department changes suggests that our hospital is effective on employers |
