摘要

Although nursing students are more prone to occupational hazards and injuries in the course of their clinical training activities, they have not been the primary focus of any published study of exposure incidents in Gaza strip, Palestine. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of exposure to occupational hazards among nursing students and to determine the degree to which occupational safety and health control strategies are applied. A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted at the faculty of nursing in the Islamic University of Gaza, Palestine. The results from 114 respondents showed that 44.3% were exposed to at least one of the occupational hazards. Exposure to psychological hazards was the highest (56.6%) followed by accidental hazards (44%), chemical hazards (43.9%), and biological hazards (39.8%), while the lowest was the physical hazards (39.3%). Needle-stick injuries when using sharp devices were reported by 45.5% of the students. About 67% were exposed to verbal or physical abuse while 43.0% were exposed to the x-rays and other types of radio-graphical procedures. Irritation of skin, eyes and nose was quite prevalent among students (48%) due to exposure to hazardous chemical substances. Although most of the participants (97.4%) were fully aware of using Personal Protective Equipment and safety regulations, only 25% were actually compliant. In conclusion, most of the nursing students were exposed to at least one of the five occupational hazards. It is important therefore to continuously encourage behavioral changes, promotion of safety measures and application of occupational health services to minimize workplace-induced injuries.
