Abstract:

Objective：To analyze the risk factors of occupational exposure among the medical staff in infectious disease hospitals.
Methods：A retrospective analysis was performed on the occupational exposure profile from January 2013 to December 2013 by using
a self-designed occupational exposure registry. Results：The incidence of hospital occupational exposure was the highest among
clinical nurses, and the highest rate was among nurses who had worked for less than a year. The incidence of needle stick injury was up
to 74.5%. The rate of contact to HIV and HBV accounted for 37.3%, and 14.5% of the occupational exposures happened for unknown
reasons. 59（53.6%） medical staff in the Infectious Disease Department experienced occupational exposure. Conclusion：It is
important to promote the concept of safe injection, strengthen management of occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens and
explore individualized patterns of occupational protection education and training for all the staff.
