Abstract:

Objective To analyze the results of occupational health examination of radiation workers in medical institutions in Zhenjiang City,understand the occupational health status of radiation workers in medical institutions in Zhenjiang City,analyze the significant abnormal indicators in the examination,so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control strategy of occupational radiation diseases. Methods The on-the-job radiology workers of all medical units who underwent occupational health examination at the Physical Examination Center of Zhenjiang Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2019 to 2023 were selected,and those with incomplete physical examination items were excluded. Basic information and results of occupational health examination items were collected,and the data were analyzed. Results From 2019 to 2023,5 943 people should be examined,and 5 750 people were actually examined,with a physical examination rate of 96.8%. The health examination rate of radiation workers in medical institutions in different years ranged from 95.0% to 98.5%. Except for 2020-2021,the detection rates of abnormal liver function,blood glucose,electrocardiogram and abdominal color ultrasound in male radiologists were higher than those in female(all P<0.05). The detection rate of abnormal blood routine,urine routine and renal function in female radiologists were higher than that in male(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the detection rates of abnormal blood glucose,abdominal color ultrasound and ocular lens among different age groups and working ages(all P<0.05),and the abnormal detection rate increased with age and working ages. The detection rate of abnormal blood glucose in primary and other ungraded hospitals was greater than that in tertiary and secondary hospitals. The rate of ocular lens abnormalities was higher among those engaged in nuclear medicine. Conclusion Most of the male radiologists in Zhenjiang medical institutions have higher abnormal rates of occupational health examinations than females,and the abnormal detection rates of blood glucose,abdominal color ultrasound and ocular lens increase with age and length of service. There are also differences in the abnormal rate of occupational health examinations for radiology workers in different levels of hospitals and types of work. Relevant departments and departments should strengthen the training of radiation protection knowledge and health awareness for radiation workers,and do a good job in personal dose monitoring and occupational health examinations for radiation workers,so as to ensure the occupational health of radiation workers.
