Assessing Risks Awareness in Operating Rooms among Post-Graduate Students: A Pilot Study

Background: In this study, we promote a global approach to occupational risk perception in order improve health and safety training programs. The study investigates the of operating room healthcare workers using an Analytic Hierarchy Process approach. Methods: A pilot was carried out through cross-sectional survey university hospital Southern Italy. An ad hoc questionnaire administered enrolled medical post-graduate students working room. Results: Fifty specialists from seven fields (anaesthetists, digestive system surgeons, general maxillofacial thoracic urologists, gynaecologists) were questioned about perceived by themselves. Biological, ionizing radiation, chemical risks most commonly priority (w = 0.300, 0.219, 0.210). Concerning biological risk, gynaecologists unexpected as less critical 0.2820) than anaesthesiologists 0.3354), which have lowest radiation 0.1657). Conclusions: Prioritization methods could settings help detect needs perform sustainable
