運用PDCA降低牙科尖銳物扎傷發生率

目的：降低牙科尖銳物扎傷，以提升安全的工作環境。方法：經專案小組重新修訂污染器械處理標準作業流程、舉辦在職教育、拍攝影片「照顧病患，更要保護 自己」宣導、調整洗牙器械擺放位置、制定標語口號「給我3分鐘，給你下一台」。結果：由改善前佔全院16.7%，改善後降低至0%，整體降低69.4%。結論：經實施對策後，能有效降低牙科尖銳物扎傷，將原有高風險環境再造改良後降低同仁傷害，日後仍需持續營造安全的工作環境。  Objective: To promote a safe workplace in hospital dentistry department by minimizing injuries caused by sharp objects. Methods: A task force revised the standard operating procedures for the handling of contaminated equipment and instruments, conducted on-the-job training, produced a promotional film titled “Caring for Patients, but Protecting Yourself,” rearranged the placement of dental cleaning instruments and tools in the clinic, and created the slogan “Give me three minutes, then the bench is yours.” Results: The sharp object injury incidence rate in the dentistry department dropped from 16.7% to 0%, resulting in a decrease of 69.4% in the overall hospital incidence rate. Conclusions: Following the interventions of this study, the number of sharp object injuries in the dentistry department was reduced, and the previously high-risk work environment was improved, which minimized staff exposure to hazards. Nevertheless, continuous efforts are necessary to foster a safe workplace.
