چکیده

مقدمه: بیماری کرونا ویروس 2019 بعنوان چالش برانگیزترین فاجعه در جهان بوده که اقدامات پیشگیرانه و کنترلی برای محافظت از کارگران در مواجهه با ویروس کرونا، بستگی به نوع کار انجام شده، ریسک مواجهه با افراد آلوده و آلودگی محیط کار دارد. هدف از مطالعه ، بررسی عوامل شغلی مرتبط با ابتلاء به عفونت کووید-19 در بیماران بستری شده می باشد.
روش بررسی: این مطالعه مقطعی در سال 1399-400 در بخش کرونا بیمارستان امام رضا مشهد انجام شد. پس از کسب مجوزهای اخلاقی، با مراجعه حضوری به بخشهای کووید بیمارستان، چک لیستی حاوی متعیرهای مطالعه توسط بیماران و یا خانواده انها پر شد. در نهایت داده ها وارد Spss-V20 شده و توسط شاخص های مرکزی و پراکندگی و آزمونهای Anova و فیشر آنالیزگردید. Pvalue=0.05 به عنوان سطح معناداری آماری در نظر گرفته شد.
یافته ها: 87 % از بیماران مرد و میانگین سنی افراد مورد مطالعه 10.64±45.67 سال بود. بیشترین فراوانی محل ابتلا به عفونت مربوط به جامعه (61.2 %) و محل کار (57.8 %) بود. 42.2 % از بیماران مشاغل اداری-دفتری داشتند. ریسک فاکتورها شامل تماس شغلی در 53.4 % ، استفاده از وسایل حمل و نقل عمومی در 44.8 % ، نبود سیستم تهویه مناسب در محل کار در 9.6 % از بیماران بود.
نتیجه گیری: مواجهات شغلی می تواند تاثیرات بسزایی در ابتلا به کووید-19دارد. ارائه آموزش های لازم در محل کار، استفاده صحیح از تجهیزات حفاظت فردی می تواند باعث کاهش خطر ابتلا به کووید-19 در میان کارکنان گردد.

چکیده [English]

INTRODUCTION: Preventive and control measures to protect workers against COVID-19 infection depend on the type of work performed and the risk of exposure to infected people and contamination of the work environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the occupational factors associated with COVID-19 infection in patients.
MATERIAL & METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Covid-19 department of Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad in 2020-2021. The participants were patients admitted to the hospital's COVID-19 ward. After obtaining ethical permissions from the university, how to complete the checklist was explained to the patients, and in the case of critically ill patients, their families were contacted and filled out. Finally, the data was analyzed SPSS 20 software. Central indices and frequency distribution and Fisher's tests were used to compare qualitative variables between job groups. The significance level is 0.05.
RESULT: 334 (87%) of the patients were male and the average age of the studied subjects was 45.67 ± 10.64 years. The highest frequency of the place of infection of COVID-19 was related to the community (61.2 %) and then to the workplace (57.8 %). 42.2% of patients had administrative-office jobs. Infection risk factors included occupational contact in 53.4%, use of public transportation in 44.8% and lack of proper ventilation system in the workplace in 9.6% of patients.
CONCLUSION: Occupational exposures have significant effects on contracting COVID-19 in working population. Providing necessary training at the workplace can reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19 among employees in different jobs.
