https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2025.90.12
Abstract
Cases of the introduction of pathogens of hemocontact viral hepatitis and HIV infection into medical organizations pose a potential threat of infection of medical workers in the course of their professional activities. The purpose of the study is to study the awareness of medical professionals about the dangers of occupational infection. Within the framework of this study, a survey of medical professionals was conducted according to the author's questionnaire. The results of a survey of 1,046 respondents on the issues of awareness of medical professionals in ensuring safety in the provision of medical care are presented. Cases of workplace emergencies were identified among 14.2 % of the surveyed medical workers. At the same time, 28.1 % do not register emergency cases in the "Emergency Register for medical procedures", and 10.7 % of doctors do not have vaccination against viral hepatitis B. This requires the development of measures to prevent and raise awareness of occupational infection among medical professionals.
