Identifying individual and organizational predictors of accidental exposure to blood (AEB) among hospital healthcare workers : A longitudinal study
BACKGROUND: Accidental exposure to blood (AEB) poses a risk of bloodborne infections for healthcare workers (HCWs) during hospital activities. In this study, we identified individual behavioral and organizational predictors of AEB among HCWs.
METHODS: The study was a prospective, 1-year follow-up cohort study conducted in university hospitals in Paris, France. Data were collected from the Stress at Work and Infectious Risk in Patients and Caregivers (STRIPPS) study. Eligible participants included nurses, nursing assistants, midwives, and physicians from 32 randomly selected wards in 4 hospitals. AEB occurrences were reported at baseline, 4 months, 8 months, and 12 months, and descriptive statistical and multilevel risk-factor analyses were performed.
RESULTS: The study included 730 HCWs from 32 wards, predominantly nurses (52.6%), nursing assistants (41.1%), physicians (4.8%), and midwives (1.5%). The incidence rate of AEB remained stable across the 4 visits. The multilevel longitudinal analysis identified several significant predictors of AEB occurrence. Individual-level predictors included younger age, occupation as nurses or midwives, irregular work schedule, rotating shifts, and lack of support from supervisors. The use of external nurses was the most significant ward-level predictor associated with AEB occurrence.
CONCLUSIONS: AEBs among HCWs are strongly associated with organizational predictors, highlighting the importance of complementing infection control policies with improved staff management and targeted training. This approach can help reduce AEB occurrences and enhance workplace safety for HCWs.
