由於結核病的防疫體系近年來有些轉變,使得結核病患流入一般醫療院所接受治療,醫療院所之醫護人員暴露於生物危害的職場環境中,其罹患結核病之風險遠高於其他人。若醫護人員能對結核病的認知有更深的瞭解,可以大大降低自身受結核病感染的機率。 本研究目的在於分析探討結核病照護醫院之員工受結核病感染風險等相關問題。本研究以問卷調查方式,其調查內容包含結核病傳染途徑、檢查方式、細菌學、防護措施等共計26題,計回收14家結核病照護醫院共408問卷。探討的內容為瞭解結核病照護醫院之員工對結核病認知的狀況,進而建議結核病照護醫院之醫療院所對員工的訓練指標。 研究結果發現結核病照護醫院之醫護人員,其中以醫師助理的認知得分最高,其次為醫師,再者為醫檢師。然而,醫護人員中以放射師的認知得分最低。此外,結核專責醫院員工對結核病的認知高於非結核專責醫院員工,且在結核病的認知上彼此間有明顯的差異。
