摘要

本研究蒐集台北市內一家醫學中心在過去四年中所發生的因公傷害事件之資料，並進行發生率及損失日數等各項傷害指標之統計分析，以了解醫療院所從業人員暴露各種傷害之分佈情形及嚴重度。由於資料蒐集及職業災害認定上的限制，本研究結果可能會低估實際發生情形。分析結果顯示各傷害類型中以夾、壓傷事件發生最為頻繁，平均每年發生約8次。全部公傷事件中以交通事故之工時損失為最高，每次事件損失達145日。各類作業人員中以工級人員、護理人員、醫師及行政人員。與國內其他行業相比較，該醫學中心員工於院內跌倒之發生率稍高於製造業、營造業、與公共行政及個人服務業。而其他各類型傷害，也較公共行政及個人服務業為高。除上述傷害事件外，玻璃器皿所引起之扎傷、不當動作所造成之扭、挫傷，以及肺結核感染等，也都是該醫學中心中公傷事件發生的常見原因。

The purpose of this study was to reveal the incidence and severity of occupational injury among health care staff. The Work-related Injury Reports of one medical center in Taipei, from 1991 to Sep. 1995, was analyzed. The result showed that pinch and crush injuries occurred quite frequently (8 incidents per year), and the most worktime loss was caused by traffic accidents (145 days per incident). The housekeeping workers had the highest injury risk, followed by technicians, nurses and physicians. The incidence of slipper injuries was higher the that of the other industries, by comparing to the published national rates. In addition to the mentioned types of injuries, lacerations caused by broken glass instruments, and sprains and strains due to inappropriate working posture were also the other major caused of worktime losing injuries in this medical center. Although this report describes the types of major work related injuries, the incidence presented here was under-reported.
