Abstract

Introduction: Toluene, an aromatic hydrocarbon present in various products, is primarily absorbed through the respiratory tract and can affect different body organs. Occupational health nurses play a key role in detecting acute and chronic exposures. They are also responsible for collecting and processing samples for biomonitoring. However, information on the collection and handling requirements, as well as nursing interventions, is scarce and heterogeneous.

Aims: We reviewed the existing literature linking toluene and occupational health nursing, identified sample collection and processing requirements, as well as signs and symptoms of exposure, and related them to diagnoses and nursing interventions.

Methods: We conducted a literature search using the PICO strategy, without limitations on document type, date, or language, in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Signs and symptoms were classified according to the system and nursing test performed during the health examination, identifying possible diagnoses and nursing interventions.

Results: We found no studies linking toluene and occupational health nursing. Seven out of 60 identified documents were selected, which provided information on sample collection requirements. Signs and symptoms were identified based on nursing tests and related to diagnoses and nursing interventions.

Conclusions: The presence of occupational health nursing in studies on toluene is scarce. Sample collection criteria are heterogeneous and limited. There were no studies relating signs and symptoms of toluene exposure to diagnoses and nursing interventions. Further studies on occupational toxicology are needed from a nursing perspective.

[职业健康护士在接触有毒物质的职业健康监测中的作用:以甲苯为例研究]。
简介:甲苯是一种存在于各种产品中的芳香烃,主要通过呼吸道吸收,可影响不同的身体器官。职业健康护士在检测急性和慢性暴露方面发挥着关键作用。他们还负责收集和处理用于生物监测的样本。然而,关于收集和处理要求以及护理干预措施的信息很少,而且种类繁多。目的:我们回顾了现有的将甲苯与职业健康护理联系起来的文献,确定了样本收集和处理要求,以及接触的体征和症状,并将其与诊断和护理干预联系起来。方法:我们使用PICO策略在PubMed、Web of Science和Scopus数据库中进行文献检索,不受文件类型、日期或语言的限制。根据健康检查期间进行的系统和护理测试对体征和症状进行分类,确定可能的诊断和护理干预措施。结果:未发现甲苯与职业健康护理相关的研究。从60份已确定的文件中挑选了7份,这些文件提供了有关样本收集要求的信息。体征和症状是根据护理测试确定的,并与诊断和护理干预有关。结论:甲苯研究中缺乏职业健康护理。样本采集标准是异质的和有限的。没有研究将甲苯暴露的体征和症状与诊断和护理干预联系起来。需要从护理的角度对职业毒理学进行进一步的研究。
