Journal Title: JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY MEDICINE - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
ABSTRACT Aim: HBV, HCV, and HIV is an important global health problem that effects community’s health. Health care workers are under a major risk for infectious diseases transmitted by blood.. In this study, we aimed to determine the seropositive of hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 700 healthcare personnel who will be working in Erzurum city in Turkey Palandöken State Hospital between 2015 – 2017.Method: Forms prepared for health screening purposes for hospital workers between the years 2015- 2017 were retrospectivity reviewed. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) hepatitis B surface antigen (anti HBs) HCV antibody (anti HCV) and HIV antibody (anti HIV) present in the form were evaluated. Health screening was performed with a chemiluminescent based ELISA method (Cobas 4000 (e 411) Roche diagnostic Turkey) used in our hospital microbiology laboratory. The study data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0 software. Analysis of the descriptive criteria, percentages.Results: It was determined that 340 (48.5%) personnel were immunized, 342 (48.8%) were vaccinated and 18 (2.5%) personnel were carriers when the screening results for 700 hospital personnel were evaluated for HBV serology. HBV seronegative hospital staff were included in the hepatitis B vaccination program. In this program, 289 (41.7%) hospital personnel were vaccinated with the infection control team of our hospital, while 340 (48.5%) did not want to vaccinate 51 of them (7.2%). HBsAg positive personnel were included in the follow-up and treatment program2 90. (%2) were found to be positive when the Anti-HVC titer was evaluate, but no HIV positivity was found in the patient. Conclusions: It is important that health personnel regularly receive training on prevention methods in the case of infectious diseases on the basis of patient and worker safety, regularly conducting screening tests to determine their current status, routine follow- up of those who carry out the vaccination, and vaccination of non- infants. Nursing in health care personnel will significantly reduce the risk of catching HBV infection and the risk of engaging in this effect, in terms of patient and worker safety.
