Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Occupational Health
  • Perinatal Care

Background:

  • Perinatal nursing involves physically demanding tasks like lifting patients and exposure to bodily fluids.
  • Stressful situations during childbirth can increase the risk of workplace violence for nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key risks and potential injuries in perinatal nursing.
  • To explore strategies for mitigating workplace hazards in perinatal settings.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common nursing tasks and associated physical and safety risks.
  • Analysis of the impact of workplace injuries on healthcare facilities and staff.

Main Results:

  • Repetitive bending, client lifting, and exposure to blood/amniotic fluid are primary injury risks.
  • Workplace violence is a notable risk in perinatal settings.
  • Injuries lead to staff turnover, decreased skilled workforce, client dissatisfaction, and legal/financial costs.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing safety equipment and "no manual lift" policies can reduce physical strain.
  • Enhanced safety and violence training programs improve nurse awareness and reduce risks.
  • Diligent staff training and reinforcement of personal protective equipment usage are crucial for minimizing perinatal nursing hazards.
