摘要

兽医人员是必不可少但往往被低估的劳动力,对影响人类健康的人畜共患疾病的预防和应对工作至关重要。在COVID-19早期大流行期间,兽医队伍通过促进人畜共患疾病风险沟通、分享动物卫生专业知识以及提高实验室在动物和人身上应对SARS-CoV-2的应急能力,为应急响应提供了支持。然而,与卫生保健工作者类似,小动物兽医工作者在为家庭宠物(包括易感染SARS-CoV-2的宠物)提供临床护理方面面临组织挑战。我们分析了美国1204家兽医诊所的横断面调查,以评估兽医诊所的适应性及其与兽医诊所作为劳动力应对COVID-19大流行的自我感知准备、意愿和能力之间的关系。比大流行前工作时间更短的savw(准备就绪,OR 0.59;willing, OR 0.66;能够,OR 0.52)或较少使用个人防护装备在诊所进行防护(ready, OR 0.69;willing, OR 0.69;能够(OR 0.64)对COVID-19的准备、意愿和能力感到不足。远程工作的savw感觉准备不足(OR 0.46),但不太愿意或无法应对COVID-19。最后,与没有家属的savw相比,有家属的savw对COVID-19的准备程度(OR 0.67)和能力(OR 0.49)较低。我们的研究结果强调了积极管理工作时间表、获得个人防护装备和解决护理问题的重要性,以加强对暴力的防范和应对结果。高级助理助理是知识渊博、积极进取的人员,应将他们纳入地方公共卫生应急准备和应对计划,支持“同一个健康”框架,将多学科团队联合起来,应对未来的人畜共患疾病威胁。

Assessing US Small Animal Veterinary Clinic Adaptations and Their Impacts on Workforce COVID-19 Preparedness and Response.

Veterinary personnel are an essential yet often underappreciated workforce, critical for zoonotic disease prevention and response efforts that impact human health. During the early COVID-19 pandemic, the veterinary workforce supported emergency responses by promoting zoonotic disease risk communication, sharing animal health expertise, and boosting laboratory surge capacity against SARS-CoV-2 in animals and people. However, small animal veterinary workers (SAVWs), similar to healthcare workers, faced organizational challenges in providing clinical care to family pets, including those susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. We analyzed a cross-sectional survey of 1,204 SAVWs in the United States to assess veterinary clinic adaptations and their associations with SAVWs' self-perceived readiness, willingness, and ability to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic as a workforce. SAVWs who worked fewer hours than before the pandemic (ready, OR 0.59; willing, OR 0.66; able, OR 0.52) or used personal protective equipment less frequently for protection in the clinic (ready, OR 0.69; willing, OR 0.69; able, OR 0.64) felt less ready, willing, and able to respond to COVID-19. SAVWs working remotely felt less ready (OR 0.46) but not less willing or able to respond to COVID-19. Lastly, SAVWs with dependents felt less ready (OR 0.67) and able (OR 0.49) to respond to COVID-19 than SAVWs without dependents. Our findings highlight the importance of proactively managing work schedules, having access to personal protective equipment, and addressing caregiving concerns to enhance SAVW preparedness and response outcomes. SAVWs are knowledgeable, motivated personnel who should be integrated into local public health emergency preparedness and response plans, supporting a One Health framework that unites multidisciplinary teams to respond to future zoonotic disease threats.

期刊介绍: Health Security is a peer-reviewed journal providing research and essential guidance for the protection of people’s health before and after epidemics or disasters and for ensuring that communities are resilient to major challenges. The Journal explores the issues posed by disease outbreaks and epidemics; natural disasters; biological, chemical, and nuclear accidents or deliberate threats; foodborne outbreaks; and other health emergencies. It offers important insight into how to develop the systems needed to meet these challenges. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Health Security covers research, innovations, methods, challenges, and ethical and legal dilemmas facing scientific, military, and health organizations. The Journal is a key resource for practitioners in these fields, policymakers, scientific experts, and government officials.
