Factors Influencing

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to identify the risk perception of acute respiratory infections, safety climate and the use of personal protective equipment, and to verify the factors influencing use of personal protective equipment by nurses’ working in general hospitals.Methods: The survey was conducted with 133 nurses working in general hospitals with 200 beds to 499 beds. Data collection was done, from November 13 to December 12, 2017. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression.Results: Factors influencing the use of personal protective equipment related to acute respiratory infections in general hospital nurses were training (β=.36, <i>p</i><.001), types of isolation facilities in the respective departments (negative pressure room) (β=.27, <i>p</i><.001), patient instructions (β=.20, <i>p</i>=.027), and absence of job hindrances (β=.15, <i>p</i>=.042). The explanatory power of these results was 47.6%.Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that for general hospital nurses it is necessary to establish a physical safety climate such as a negative pressure room, and to encourage the use of personal protective equipment related to acute respiratory infections. Also, changes should be accompanied by training in the use of personal protective equipment, provision of patient care guidelines, compliance with standard precaution, and the creation of an organizational safety climate and support for the organization.

SUMMARYOrnithosis outbreaks in poultry processing plants are well-described, but evidence for preventive measures is currently lacking. This study describes a case-control study into an outbreak of ornithosis at a poultry processing plant in the East of England, identified following three employees being admitted to hospital. Workers at the affected plant were recruited via their employer, with exposures assessed using a self-completed questionnaire. Cases were ascertained using serological methods or direct antigen detection in sputum. 63/225 (28%) staff participated, with 10% of participants showing evidence of recent infection. Exposure to the killing/defeathering and automated evisceration areas, and contact with viscera or blood were the main risk factors for infection. Personal protective equipment (goggles and FFP3 masks) reduced the effect of exposure to risk areas and to self-contamination with potentially infectious material. Our study provides some evidence of effectiveness for respiratory protective equipment in poultry processing plants where there is a known and current risk of ornithosis. Further studies are required to confirm this tentative finding, but in the meantime respiratory protective equipment is recommended as a precautionary measure in plants where outbreaks of ornithosis occur.

This study aims to determine the effect of knowledge, work training, risk behavior, and use of personal protective equipment on loading and discharging work safety. The population in this study were all loading and unloading labor at Tanjung Emas Port Semarang with a sample of 100 respondents. The sampling technique used is probability sampling The analytical method used is quantitative analysis, the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression The results of multiple linear regression analysis obtained the equation Y = -2.004 + 0.286 X1 + 0.246 X2 + 0.253 X3 + 0.328 X4 + μ. And the coefficient of determination is 62.3%, it means all independent variables can explain the dependent variables as much as 62.3% while the rest (100% - 62.3% = 37.7%) is explained by other variables outside the regression model.
