Analysis on influence factors of medical staff blood-borne occupational exposure based on structural equation modeling

Abstract

Objective To analyze the influence factors of medical staff blood-borne occupational exposure by structural equation modeling, in order to improve medical staff of blood-borne occupational exposure protection performance of the system to provide the theory basis for operation. Methods The influence factors of medical staff blood-borne occupational exposure and their correlation were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling fitting. Results Model fitting was ideal, hospital decision -makers and department management directly affected the behavior intention of medical staff, department management greatly influenced by the behavioral intention to the medical personnel, path coefficient was 0.27. Hospital decision-makers of behavioral intention to the medical personnel directly affect smaller, path coefficient was 0.03, but its indirect impact on behavioral intention by department management. Behavioral intention of occupational exposure protection action, the path coefficient was 0.80, behavioral intention determined the basic medical personnel blood-borne occupational exposure protection behavior. Conclusions Hospital should improve the system of standards and to establish effective communication channels, at the same time enhance the care ability. Enforcement departments should improve the standard system, equipped with adequate safety equipment, for the medical staff to provide the best working environment, so as to improve the medical staff of blood-borne occupational exposure protection behavior compliance.
