Abstract:

Background: This study, therefore aims to assess the frequency and the factorscontributing to the needle stick injuries among health care workers of a tertiary care privatehospital of Lahore. Setting: Shalamar Hospital Lahore, Pakistan a tertiary care private institution.Period: July and August 2015. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A modifiedstructured pre-tested questionnaire containing both open and close-ended questions wasadministered to 160 study participants. The selected candidates were thoroughly briefed aboutthe study and informed consent was obtained. Confidentiality and anonymity of the participantswas maintained. Data entry was done on SPSS version 20 for Microsoft Windows. Results: Theresponse rate was 97%. Among all respondents (n=122), almost 41% (n= 63) were medicaldoctors and 34% (n= 53) were nursing staff. A small proportion of 4% (n= 6) belonged to thedental surgical background as well. Of all the surveyed participants, 45% (n=69) had eversuffered from needle stick/ sharps injury during their medical job and career, whereas, 34%(n=53) had suffered from a needle stick injury during the last year. Nearly 63% (n=47) reportedthat the cause of injury was accidental, 16% (n=25) acknowledged lack of awareness, 7%(n=10) acknowledged improper equipment and 4% (n=6) accused lack of training as the majorcause of needle stick injuries. A hefty 34% (n=53) believed that there existed no protocols in theinstitution regarding needle stick injuries, while another 50% (n=78) stated that they were notaware of the hospital protocols regarding needle stick injuries if there existed any. A disturbing34% (n=53) assume that they should recap the needles after using them. There was a strongstatistical association p<.001 between establishment of hospital protocols regarding needlestick or sharps injury and an event of needle stick injury suffered by the health care workersduring last year. Conclusion: The needle stick injuries can be prevented by the eradication ofhazard causing equipment’s, prevention through engineering measures, administrative controlsand last but not the least personal protective measures.

Abstract:

Magister Curationis - MCur
Background: Health care workers who sustain needle stick injuries are at risk of contracting blood-borne pathogens, e.g. Human Immunodeficiency Virus,Hepatitis B virus or Hepatitis C virus. Needle stick injuries are viewed as occupational hazards that can lead to health care workers developing acute or chronic diseases, which may lead to disability or death. Due to these healthrelated risks, health care workers are encouraged to adhere to universal precautions and standard operating procedures. In South Africa, the Occupational Health and Safety Act promulgated in 1993 required institutions draw up protocols in line with the regulations of the Act. However, if the health care workers do not comply with the protocols they may not be compensated for contracting a disease, e.g. Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection, following needle stick injuries. Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the health care workers’ perceptions of the needle stick injury protocol at a level 2 hospital in Cape Town. Research design: A qualitative approach was used to make sense of health care workers’ compliance to the protocols when sustaining a needle stick injury. An exploratory descriptive, contextual design was used to carry out an in-depth investigation of the phenomenon. Sample: The study was done at Mowbray Maternity Hospital, a level 2 obstetric hospital in Cape Town. The researcher made use of convenience, purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the research data. Data collection: During the data collection phase, ethical considerations towards participants were ensured to include, among others, anonymity, autonomy and confidentiality of information. Data analysis: It included the following steps: reading and rereading,coding, displaying, reducing and interpreting the data. Findings: Some health care workers do not view sustaining a needle stick injury as risky enough to report the injury or even go for follow-up testing. This risky behaviour can have detrimental effects on their health. There is also a lack of knowledge about the institutional needle stick injury protocol. Recommendations: It is recommended to have educational and training sessions for all health care workers and new employees to familiarise them with the needle stick injury protocol and policies of the institution; to provide adequate management support 7 following work related injuries and to make health care workers aware of the consequences of non-compliance to institutional protocol.

The aim of this research was to explore the lived experience of three medical doctors after experiencing a needle stick injury. Needle stick injuries were defined as injuries, self-inflicted or by colleagues, where a needle punctures or lacerates the skin. There is an associated risk of HIV transmission via a needle stick injury, which prompted the exploration of the psychological aspects of the injury. The research was contextualised in terms of South Africa’s spiralling rate of HIV infection, as a result of which, it is reasonable to expect that doctors will increasingly be treating HIV positive patients. The research explored an area that has largely been untouched by researchers. The literature study showed that as regards needle stick injuries, the focus tends to be on the injury itself, the risk of HIV transmission and the causal patterns surrounding it, rather than on the psychological consequences. The research takes the form of an exploratory study and as such it applied qualitative research methodology. Semi-structured interviews were used, as it allowed for the greatest flexibility. In addition, the semi-structured interviews allowed the doctors the freedom to introduce and explore areas that were outside the questions posed by the researcher. The interviews were conducted at a place of the doctors choosing and all were recorded. For reasons of confidentiality, no names have been used and dates of qualification etc have been deliberately vague. The research found that the doctors experienced anxiety and fear after their injuries. Furthermore, it shows how friends, family and colleagues left them to deal with these feelings unaided. Broad themes of emotional deprivation, isolation, the doctor as patient and responsibility and support, were identified. Lastly the research found that the doctors learnt from their experiences and were able to demonstrate more compassion towards colleagues who had similar experiences, which they had previously been unable to show. It is hoped that this research and its findings will provide some insight onto the experiences after such an injury, and perhaps prompt further research into an area that has largely been left untouched.

The aim of the study was to explore the registered nurses’ health belief about the prevention behaviors of needle-stick injury, blood and body fluid exposure. We used the questionnaires and surveyed nurses working in the five branches of Taipei City Hospital. There were 774 effective questionnaires return, and the response rate was about 57%. The results showed: they were most female nurses, single, got the college or baccalaureate degrees, working about 1-5 years in the hospital, had experienced the needle-stick injuries, blood and body fluid injuries, and had the hepatitis B antibodies. They agreed they would tend to get the blood-borne diseases if they got the needle-stick injuries or blood and body fluid exposures, as well as hurt their beloved families badly. They thought it was good to wear protection equipments and to take protective actions. Besides, they disagreed that time-consuming or less efficient were barriers in wearing the protection equipments. If there were more cues to action, it would push them to take the protective actions. The demographic factors such as gender, age, blood and body fluid exposure experience, and health beliefs,”perceived benefits, perceived barriers and cues to action”, were statistically significant in protective behaviors. The predict factors were “perceived benefits”, and “perceived barriers”, however, they only explained 10% of the variance of the preventive behavior. ”Perceived barriers” is the most influential predictor. It is suggested that further studies examine self-efficacy factor, other than health belief. It is also suggested that intervention strategy to strengthen the preventive behavior. The study was not generalizable to nurses working in other hospitals in Taiwan, but it was useful to provide information in designing the nurses’ training programs about the prevention behaviors of the needle-stick injury, blood and body fluid exposure.

Abstract:

This study aimed to provide evidence on knowledge of attitudes toward standard precautions (SPs) and its practice of Healthcare Workers (HCWs) in government and private hospitals in Botswana. It utilised descriptive cross-sectional methodology. A range of significant findings were revealed. Good practice of SPs was noted more amongst the HCWs in government than in private hospitals. Knowledge of SPs amongst HCWs in government hospital was significantly and positively correlated to good practice of SPs. Registered Nurses (RNs) had better knowledge of SPs than HealthcareAssistants (HCAs).There was no significant difference between RNs and HCAs practice of SPS and attitudes toward the same. No significant difference in the knowledge, attitudes and practice of SPs was noted between General Practitioners (GPs) and RNs. No significant difference in the knowledge, attitudes and practice of SPs was observed between GPs and HCAs. The study findings have implications for the application of SPs in practice

Abstract:

Blood- borne viruses (BBVs) are viral infections transmitted by blood or body fluid. In practice, any viral infection that achieves a high viral load in blood or body fluid can be transmitted through exposure to infected biological materials. In western countries, the most significant BBVs are human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV1 and HIV2), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Other viruses that can be transmitted by blood and body fluid include human T cell lymphotropic viruses (HTLV1 and HTLV2), cytomegalovirus, West Nile virus and viruses responsible for viral haemorrhagic fever such as Ebola virus, Lassa virus, and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus. BBVs are transmitted via exposure to blood and body fluid. Some examples of routes of transmission include: ● Sharing needles in people who inject drugs (PWID); ● Medical re-use of contaminated instruments (common in resource poor settings); ● Sharps injuries in healthcare setting, including in laboratories (less commonly through mucosal exposure); ● Transfusion of blood contaminated with BBVs (failure to screen blood donors); ● Transplantation of organs from BBV-infected donors; ● Sexual exposure to BBV-infected body fluid; and ● Exposure to maternal BBV infection: intrauterine, perinatally, or postnatally. If exposure to a BBV is via a needle stick injury in a healthcare setting, immediate first aid needs to be carried out by gently encouraging bleeding and washing the exposed area with soap and water. Prompt reporting of the incident is required so that an assessment can be done as soon as possible to determine if post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is required. The decision may be aided by urgent assessment of source patient infection status. The British Medical Association has issued guidance for testing adults who lack the capacity to consent. In the case of a sexual exposure to a BBV, immediate consultation to a genito-urinary medicine (GUM) clinic is warranted. The risk of transmission of BBVs associated with exposure depends on the nature of the exposure and the body fluid involved. The following factors are important in needle stick injuries: ● Deep percutaneous injury. ● Freshly used sharps. ● Visible blood on sharps.

Abstract:

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a treatment administered to an individual to prevent the development of infection or reduce the severity of illness after a potential or documented exposure to a microorganism. This may primarily be for the protection of the exposed individual concern, or in the case of a pregnant woman, for protecting the foetus in utero. PEP may also be useful in public health to reduce the risk of secondary spread of infection. A good history is required in order to make a proper assessment of the risk. The following questions should be asked: A. Which infection is suspected and is the source infectious? It is straight forward if the diagnosis of the source of exposure is already known, e.g. known HIV, established diagnosis of tuberculosis. However, in many cases, the diagnosis of the source may not be certain, e.g. needle stick injury involving a needle of unknown origin, bitten by a stray dog, exposed to a child with a non-specific rash. In such cases, a risk assessment is required to assess the likelihood that the source may be infectious. Knowledge of local epidemiology or recent outbreaks in a particular locality may help in such risk assessment. B. What is the nature of the exposure? Knowledge of the mode of transmission of a microorganism is important to establish if there is any risk of transmission through the exposure In the case of mother-to-child transmission, PEP to the neonate born to a mother with an infection is effective if the mode of transmission is predominately perinatal, e.g. hepatitis B. If the mode of transmission is transplacental, it is too late to administer PEP to the baby after delivery. Instead, the expected mother should be given prophylaxis during pregnancy to prevent infection, e.g. chicken pox, or given antivirals to reduce infectivity, e.g. maternal hepatitis B with a high viral load when transplacental infection may occur. In HIV, where transmission can occur both transplacentally and perinatally, antiretroviral therapy (ART) needs to be given during pregnancy and often during labour as well as to the baby after birth.

<i>Abstract</i> .—Summer flounder <i>Paralichthys dentatus </i> supports an important recreational fishery along the northeastern coast of the United States. Successful rebuilding of the stock and the need to constrain landings within total-allowable-landing targets has resulted in declining bag limits, increasing size limits, higher discarding, and a reduction in satisfaction derived from recreational fishing trips. A series of fishing trips were observed in which alternative regulatory scenarios were tested to identify approaches to better optimize bag limits and size limits. The alternatives included a slot limit in which some smaller fish were allowed to be landed, a reduced minimum size, and a cumulative size, in which the bag limit and size limit were conflated such that fish take was controlled by the cumulative size of the landed fish. Comparisons were made to fishing trips conducted under 2006 regulations that produced higher injury frequencies than other regulatory scenarios due to discarding of larger fish that tended to be gut-hooked. Two alternatives performed significantly better in terms of reducing the potential for discard mortality among discarded fish, the slot-limit and the cumulative-size scenarios. An intermediate performance of the reduced-minimum-size scenario was due to an increased proportion of dead fish, but this association was unexplained. Fish uninjured save for minor hook damage were common on all vessels and in all fishing approaches. Injury frequency was, in fact, remarkably low, less than half of the assumed discard mortality rate in presentday stock assessments. The study supports the use of size-specific mortality rates for fish discarded recreationally. The study offers no support for the efficacy of the 2006 regulatory system in controlling discard mortality rate. Any of the alternative plans is an improvement, but the slot-limit and cumulative-size scenarios are deserving of the most scrutiny.

<i>Abstract</i> .—There is a need to better understand the perspectives of various recreational fishing stakeholder groups regarding key issues related to fisheries sustainability. To provide a first snapshot and to inform future human dimension studies in this area, we distributed a Web-based open-access survey to fisheries researchers, fisheries managers, and anglers in North America. Attitudes of these respondents towards issues such as overharvest, impacts of catch and release, recreational fisheries management, and research priorities for the future were assessed. We found similar opinions and perspectives by the responding recreational anglers, managers, and researchers on a number of issues, such as the perceived impact of commercial fishing contributing to fish stock declines, the perceived importance of using and promoting gear that minimizes stress and injury to individual fish when fish are to be released, and the belief that conflicts among stakeholders is growing as is the global anti-fishing movement based on animal rights thinking. Differences among responding groups included that researchers tended to be more concerned than anglers and managers with the potential of recreational angling contributing to fish stock declines. Responding anglers were also less content with their involvement in the fisheries management process than were responding managers and researchers, and these anglers also indicated a greater desire for more human dimensions research on understanding angler attitudes and behavior than was evident for responding managers and researchers. This preliminary survey revealed some variation in attitudes among recreational fisheries stakeholders. However, due to lack of random sampling, the study results cannot be extrapolated to the population level. We nevertheless conclude that improved communication and better understanding about the different perspectives among fisheries researchers, managers, and anglers and intrasectorally among different angling groups are needed, particularly when addressing contentious issues of relevance for the entire recreational fishing sector.

Abstract:

This paper presents a continuation of projects spanning the last two years. In year one, the physical characteristics and medical effects of burns and Improvised Explosive Device, IED, blasts were investigated [1]. In year two, the possible use of commercial intumescent materials with fabric was studied [2]. The identified needs for research into the effect of undergarments on burn protection are focused in this study. Additionally, Thermal Protective Performance, TPP-(ISO 17492) and Air Permeability, AP-(ASTM D737) tests were performed to gather the data needed for the analysis of flame and thermal resistance as well as comfort and breathability. Out of the seven samples evaluated, the Sample D, composed of 94% m-aramid, 5% p-aramid and 1% static dissipative fiber, shirt had the best overall performance in terms of air permeability, average TPP rating, and time to second degree burn. Another finding was that polyester undershirts may be dangerous in the event of a flash fire situation because the fabric could melt and stick to the Soldier’s skin causing more severe burn injury. Additionally, an initial framework for a basic mathematical model representing the system was created. This model can be further refined to yield more accurate results and eventually be used to help predict the material properties required in fabrics to design a more protective undergarment.
