Abstract

Introduzione: l’esposizione ai liquidi biologici rimane un importante fattore di rischio di incidenti occupazionali tra gli operatori sanitari. Lo studio indaga le percezioni, le conoscenze e le potenziali barriere legate alla segnalazione degli incidenti da esposizione occupazionale.
Metodo: lo studio trasversale (luglio 2013-febbraio 2014) ha previsto la somministrazione di un questionario agli operatori sanitari, presso cinque ospedali italiani.
