Objective To study the effect of new bundle interventions on medical staff’s cognition of occupational exposure protection and exposure rate, and provide evidence for reducing medical staff’s occupational exposure.Methods The 1 435 medical practitioners in 37 clinical/technical departments of Nanchong Central Hospital were selected as the research objects. Bundle intervention strategies about occupational exposure for whole population and high risk population were implemented, and the medical staff’s cognition of occupational exposure, occurrence of occupational exposure, and post-exposure reporting in 2017 (before intervention) and 2018 (after intervention) were investigated and compared to evaluate the intervention effects.Results The numbers of valid survey forms collected before intervention and after intervention were 1 160 and 1 421, respectively. The total awareness rate increased from 91.10% before intervention to 96.10% after intervention (P<0.001). The exposure rate and average rank of exposure frequency after intervention were lower than those before intervention (10.98% vs. 17.50%, 1 250.74 vs. 1 340.32), the reporting rate of initial exposure after intervention (69.23%) was higher than that before intervention (57.64%), and the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Through gradually implementing the new bundle interventions, medical staff can improve the cognition of occupational exposure, reduce the occurrence of occupational exposure, improve the enthusiasm of reporting, and create a safe atmosphere.
