ABSTRACT
Federal government guidelines recommend wearing hand shielding that provides full protection for the entire hand during manual restraint of animals for radiography. The primary objective of this cross-sectional survey of 143 Saskatchewan veterinary workers was to describe behaviors of workers who do not follow guidelines for effective hand shielding, and to examine the factors associated with these behaviors. An electronic invitation to complete an online questionnaire was sent to 1261 members of the provincial veterinary medical and veterinary technologist associations. More than half of the workers reported that their hand protection was visible on a radiograph at least once a month, and 1/5 reported visible unshielded body parts at least once a month. More than 1/3 of workers never used shielding that fully enclosed their hands. Use of fully enclosing gloves or mittens was more likely for workers in academic workplaces (P < 0.001).
Usage d'une protection pour les mains par les préposés vétérinaires durant la radiographie des petits animaux. Les lignes directrices du gouvernement fédéral recommandent le port d'une protection pour les mains qui offre une protection complète pour l'ensemble de la main durant la retenue manuelle des animaux lors de la radiographie. L'objectif primaire de cette enquête ponctuelle auprès de 143 préposés vétérinaires de la Saskatchewan consistait à décrire les comportements des préposés qui ne respectent pas les lignes directrices en matière de protection efficace des mains et à examiner les facteurs associés avec ces comportements. Une invitation électronique à répondre au questionnaire en ligne a été envoyée aux 1261 membres des associations provinciales de médecins vétérinaires et de technologues vétérinaires. Plus de la moitié des préposés ont signalé que leur protection était visible sur une radiographie au moins une fois par mois et 1/5 a signalé des parties du corps visibles non protégées au moins une fois par mois. Plus de 1/3 des préposés n'utilisait jamais une protection complète des mains. L'usage de gants ou de mitaines entièrement fermées était plus probable pour les préposés travaillant en milieu universitaire (P < 0,001).(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
