ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of thyroid nodules and its influencing factors among medical staff of a hospital in Hengshui. MethodsA total of 2 190 medical workers in a hospital in Hengshui who underwent physical examinations in the Medical Examination Center of Harrison International Peace Hospital from January 2012 to July 2013 were included as the study subjects. Through physical examination, thyroid ultrasonography and questionnaire, we collected data and investigated the prevalence of thyroid nodules and its influencing factors. ResultsThe prevalence rate of thyroid nodules was 39.45% (864/2 190) in these medical staff. The prevalence rates of thyroid nodules in males and females were 32.34% (238/736) and 42.92% (624/1 454), respectively, with statistically significant difference between them (χ2=22.913, P<0.001). With increasing age, the prevalence of thyroid nodules increased gradually, and the prevalence of the same sex increased gradually too (P<0.001). The prevalence rate of women was significantly higher than that of men for each age group (P<0.05). Among the 864 subjects, there were 550 (63.66%) with multiple nodules and 314 (36.34%) with solitary nodules; there were 454 (52.55%) with nodules in both lobes of thyroid, 238 (27.54%) with nodules in the right lobe of thyroid, and 172 (19.91%) with nodules in the left lobe of thyroid; there were 504 (58.33%) with solid modules, 172 (19.91%) with cystic nodules, 114 (13.19%) with solid and cystic nodules, and 74 (8.56%) with calcification. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, educational degree, drinking history, taste habit, stress, agitation were correlated with the development of thyroid nodules. ConclusionThe prevalence of thyroid nodules is high among medical staff of this hospital. Thyroid nodules can be prevented through healthy lifestyle, limiting alcohol intake, emotional control, and relieving stress. Early diagnosis and early treatment should be done to prevent the development and spread of thyroid nodules.

ObjectiveTo understand the obstacles in the practice of pulmonary rehabilitation between doctors and patients.MethodsMedical staff and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in public hospitals in this region were randomly sampled, and a questionnaire survey was conducted on possible obstacles to the practice of pulmonary rehabilitation.ResultsTotal of 265 medical staff and 120 COPD patients were recruited in this survey. The obstacles of pulmonary rehabilitation practice of medical staff in clinical work are poor cooperation of patients and their families (84.2%), medical staff’s insufficient awareness of pulmonary rehabilitation (82.3%), and lack of practice and guidelines (78.9%), lack of objective conditions such as site, equipment and equipment (75.1%), lack of multidisciplinary teams (74.3%), pulmonary rehabilitation has fallen by the wayside (73.6%) etc. The main obstacles for COPD patients in pulmonary rehabilitation are lack of access to relevant knowledge (52.4%), insufficient knowledge (36.5%), inconvenient transportation, economic problems and other objective conditions (33.3%). After multiple correspondence analysis, there are differences in the degree of correlation between obstacle factors and groups with different characteristics.ConclusionsThere are many factors hindering the development of pulmonary rehabilitation and there are certain differences among different populations, but the lack of understanding of pulmonary rehabilitation between doctors and patients is the primary problem. It is necessary to improve the cognition of both doctors and patients on pulmonary rehabilitation, and then to solve the obstacles in the implementation of pulmonary rehabilitation.

ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors for hematogenous occupational exposure by analyzing hematogenous occupational exposure in medical workers, and discuss countermeasures in order to reduce the occurrence of hematogenous occupational exposure in medical workers. MethodsWe summarized and analyzed the hematogenous occupational exposure reported by registered medical personnel in the First People's Hospital of Yibin City from January 2012 to December 2014. ResultsThere were 129 cases of hematogenous occupational exposure, and nurses were at high risk of such exposure (65.12%).The exposure occurrence focused in medical personnel with working time shorter than 5 years.The top three high-risk operational procedures were needle injection, puncture, and medical waste disposal; sharp instrument injuries (109 cases, 84.50%) were the main factor leading to hematogenous occupational exposure in medical workers.Sources of exposure were detected and confirmed in 92 cases (71.32%); after testing, 79 cases (61.24%) of infections were confirmed in the source patients with one or more blood-borne pathogens.Through scientific treatment, no infection after hematogenous occupational exposure was detected in the medical workers. ConclusionMonitoring and analysis of hematogenous occupational exposure can facilitate identification of key departments, target population and risk factors, which is important for taking appropriate interventions.

Objective To investigate the free influenza vaccination of health care workers in major departments and explore the possible influencing factors of influenza vaccination of staff. Methods In November 2021, a questionnaire survey was conducted among health care workers who received free influenza vaccination in 19 major departments of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and the un-vaccinated workers’ information was obtained from the registration system of staff information. Multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the possible influencing factors of free influenza vaccination. Results The coverage rate of centralized free influenza vaccination of staff in major departments was 32.7% (1101/3369). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that workers who were female [odds ratio (OR)=1.853, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.481, 2.318), P<0.001], with an educational background of high school or below [OR=4.304, 95%CI (2.484, 7.455), P<0.001], engaged in nursing work [OR=2.341, 95%CI (1.701, 3.221), P<0.001], and with 11 or more years of working experience [OR=2.410, 95%CI (1.657, 3.505), P<0.001] were more likely to inject influenza vaccine, and workers who had a bachelor’s degree were less likely to inject influenza vaccine. Conclusions The rate of free influenza vaccination among medical staff is low. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of influenza vaccination among medical staff, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the population and take targeted measures to improve the level of vaccination among medical staff.
Objective To investigate the status of the knowledge, attitudes and intervention behaviors in medical professionals in the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and explore the weak links in knowledge-attitude-practice of DVT. Methods From December 2017 to February 2018, a convenient sampling method was used to extract 158 medical professionals out of 204 medical professionals from Department of Orthopedics, West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The questionnaire included the general information and basic situation of DVT learning, the knowledge of DVT, intervention attitude and implementation of preventive measures. The survey involved orthopedic doctors, nurses, rehabilitation therapists and nutrition managers. Results A total of 158 questionnaires were distributed and 150 valid questionnaires were completed. The effective questionnaire recovery rate was 94.9%. The mean score of basic knowledge of DVT was 6.45±1.83, the mean score of risk factors was 13.29±3.38, the mean score of intervention attitudes was 9.57±0.78, and the mean score of prevention implementation was 23.33±5.85. Conclusions The knowledge-practice of DVT intervention in orthopedic medical staff is moderate, and the attitude of DVT intervention is better among medical staff. There are various characteristics and weaknesses in knowledge-practice. It is necessary to regularly carry out knowledge about DVT among medical staff to improve the professional level of medical staff to prevent and treat DVT.
