Types of Reports II: Incident or Occurrence Report01:21

Types of Reports II: Incident or Occurrence Report

An Incident or Occurrence Report in a healthcare setting is a crucial document used to record any unexpected occurrence that may or may not have affected a patient, employee, or visitor. Such reports are critical to improving patient safety and include all details leading up to and including the event.
Purposes:
In the healthcare industry, reports play a crucial role in documenting incidents within an agency. The primary objective of these reports is to ensure patient safety, uphold the...
Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...
Relative Risk01:12

Relative Risk

Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...
Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:
Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness, disability,...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Public Health Surveillance
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Workplace injury rates are elevated in low and middle-income countries.
  • Data on workplace injuries in Pacific Island nations are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document the epidemiology of fatal and hospitalized workplace injuries in Fiji.
  • Utilize a population-based trauma registry for comprehensive data.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective surveillance registry analysis in Viti Levu, Fiji (2005-2006).
  • Inclusion of individuals aged 15+ with workplace injuries leading to death or hospitalization.
  • Calculation of incidence rates using Fiji Employment Survey data.

Main Results:

  • 189 cases (9 fatal) identified, yielding annual rates of 73.4 hospitalizations and 3.7 deaths per 100,000 workers.
  • Males (95%) and younger workers (15-29 years) were disproportionately affected.
  • Common injuries included fractures and open wounds; common mechanisms were being hit by objects and falls.

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest underestimation of the full burden of workplace injuries in Fiji.
  • Emphasizes the necessity of identifying specific risk factors for injury prevention.
  • Supports the development of effective, context-tailored workplace safety interventions.
