Objective To investigate the occurrence of sharp instrument injuries among healthcare workers in a comprehensive teaching hospital and explore the risk factors, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention approaches. Methods A total of 1 180 healthcare workers with sharp instrument injuries between 2011 and 2014 were included in the study. Occupational hematogenous exposure monitoring and protecting system for health workers was established and optimized. The report and treatment process was standardized. Targeted monitoring system of sharp instrument injuries was developed. Sharp instrument injuries between 2011 and 2014 were systematically collected and analyzed. Results Between 2011 and 2014, there were 1 180 health workers who had sharp instrument injuries. Health workers had the highest rate of exposure to hepatitis B virus(41.06%), followed by syphilis (13.35%). Syringe needles (27.54%), suture needles (24.15%) and scalp needles (19.58%) were the instruments that caused most of the injuries. We constructed occupational exposure records for all those with sharp instrument injuries, and performed regular follow-up. No hematogenous infections were found because of sharp instrument injuries. Conclusions Sharp instrument injuries are common in healthcare institutions. It is important to establish and perfect the occupational exposure monitoring and protecting system, so as to reduce the risk of occupational exposure for health workers in hospitals.

Objective To systematically review the prevalence of depression and anxiety among health care workers in designated hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect cross-sectional studies on the prevalence of depression and anxiety among health care workers from December 2019 to April 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 14.0 software. Results A total of 21 cross-sectional studies were included, involving 38 372 participants. Meta-analysis results showed that during the COVID-19 epidemic, the prevalence of depression and anxiety among health care workers in designated hospitals were 31.00% (95%CI 0.25 to 0.37) and 44.00% (95%CI 0.34 to 0.53). The results of subgroup analysis showed that individuals of female, married, bachelor degree or above, nurses, junior professional titles, and non-first-line medical staff had higher prevalence of depression and anxiety. Conclusions During the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of depression and anxiety among health care workers in designated hospitals remain high. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the mental health of health care workers in designated hospitals. Due to the limited quantity and quality of included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
