Background

A study of the incidence and characteristics of biological accidents among infirmary students during their prac-ticals at the hospital.

Material and methods

A retrospective study carried out at five centres by means of two questionnaires, one on the duration of the trining and the rate of accidents and the other on the characteristics, precautions and ports exposure behaviour.

Results

Out of 397 students, 70,5% had accidents at a rate of 64% (CI 95%, 5968). Of these, 15% were accidents with biological risk, the majority being jabs (39%) and splashes (32,5%). It is worth note that 49,2% occurred while putting away the material and 58% in the absence of any individual protective measures. One out of 8 accidents implied a biological risk.

Conclusions

A very high rate of accidents was observed with important deficiencies in security.
