BACKGROUND Organizational changes that involve healthcare hospital departments and care services of health districts, and ongoing technological innovations and developments in society increasingly expose healthcare workers (HCWs) to work-related stress (WRS). Minimizing occupational exposure to stress requires effective risk stress assessment and management programs. METHODS The authors condu...
To determine whether frontline health care workers (HCWs) are at greater risk for contracting pandemic (H1N1) 2009 than nonclinical staff, we conducted a study of 231 HCWs and 215 controls. Overall, 79 (17.7%) of 446 had a positive antibody titer by hemagglutination inhibition, with 46 (19.9%) of 231 HCWs and 33 (15.3%) of 215 controls positive (OR 1.37, 95% confidence interval 0.84-2.22). Of 8...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of the interferon-gamma release assays and low-dose computed tomography for the pulmonary tuberculosis screenings program of health care workers. DESIGN For the pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) screenings program, T-SPOT.TB (one of interferon-gamma release assays: IGRA) were performed on 332 health care workers (HCWs) with normal chest roentgenogram and without the ...
background & objectives: hepatitis b is one of the major health problems in the world. health care workers (hcws) are at high risk of acquiring hepatitis b virus. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hbv infection and the immune response to hbv vaccine among the hcws in babol, northern iran. methods: this study was accomplished on 527 hcws and administrative staff working...
From November 1996 through March 1997, presumptive active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) was detected in 44 health care workers (HCWs) at a university hospital in Lima, Peru. To further assess the magnitude of the outbreak and determine risk factors for occupational Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission, we identified HCWs in whom active pulmonary TB was diagnosed from January 1994 through Janua...
conclusions the hepatitis b vaccination coverage was more than many studies in other countries. it seems that the vaccination program of the current study had sufficient efficacy for medical surveillance of hcws in the academic hospitals under study. the essential point for success at a vaccination program was good performance of occupational health department. methods this retrospective descri...
Background and aims: One of the most important and preventable hazard related to Healthcare Workers (HCWs) are Needle Stick Injuries (NSI). Biologic outcomes of these injuries can be so hazardous and can cause to transmission of disease such as AIDS, Hepatitis B and C. The aim of this study was determination of occupational exposure to needle stick and its risk factors in one of Sabzevar’...
BACKGROUND Anecdotal evidence suggests that much of the continuing infection of health care workers (HCWs) with Ebola virus during the current outbreak in Sierra Leone has occurred in settings other than Ebola isolation units, and it is likely that some proportion of acquisition by HCWs occurs outside the workplace. There is a critical need to define more precisely the pathways of Ebola infecti...
BACKGROUND Despite known benefits, only a small proportion of HIV-infected children in sub-Saharan Africa know their status and limited disclosure interventions exist. Namibia's Ministry of Health and Social Services developed and implemented a multipronged intervention to support health care workers (HCWs) and caregivers in the disclosure process. METHODS The intervention included a staged d...
It is well established that health care workers (HCWs) have a considerably higher risk of occupationally acquired tuberculosis (TB). To reduce the transmission of TB to HCWs and patients, TB infection control programs should be implemented in health care settings. The first and most important level of all protection and control programs is administrative control. Its goals are to prevent HCWs, ...
