Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to understand the current situation and influencing factors of occupational exposure of clinical nursing interns, evaluate the intervention effect of occupational exposure of clinical nursing interns, so as to provide a basis for formulating occupational protection measures.

Methods: A total of 2190 clinical nursing interns from May 2012 to December 2018 in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital were selected as research objects to investigate the occupational exposure of clinical nursing interns before and after the implementation of the intervention measures.

Results: Mechanical injury accounted for the first 53.83% of occupational exposure, and education level was related to the incidence of occupational exposure of interns. After intervention, interns’ awareness of standard protection knowledge and measures and standard protection behavior were significantly improved.

Conclusion: It is an effective way to reduce the incidence of interns’ occupational exposure that teaching hospitals complete pre-job training of occupational exposure and occupational protection before interns enter clinical practice and improve the adherence of nursing operation process.
