Abstract:
Veterinarians are exposed to numerous hazards that can lead to various types of occupational accidents (OA). Our objective was to explore factors associated with clinicians’ behavior following OA in the Province of Tucumán, Argentina. A cross-sectional study was carried out using an anonymous structured questionnaire in 210 professionals randomly chosen. The dependent variables were self-medication, continuing working after OA, medical care and days of work (yes/no) and the independent variables were years of professional practice (≤12/˃12), gender and type of practice (only large animals/only small animals/both). After screening with χ2, independent variables with P˂ 0.05 were offered to logistic regression models. Women were more prevalent in practice with small species (P˂ 0.001) and among recent graduates (P= 0.018). Most of the respondents (96.7%) had had OA, 81.4% had self-medicated, being more likely among those who worked with large animals (OR= 7.88; 95%CI 1.01-61.91; P= 0.050) and had more years of professional practice (OR= 2.20; 95%CI 1.03-4.62; P= 0.042). The majority of respondents (77.6%) had continued working while still injured, being associated with self-medication (P˂ 0.001) and years of exposure (OR= 2.98; 95%CI 1.46-6.12; P= 0.003). Those who suffered OA had 6.8±14.2 days off work (0-97 days), being longer in men (P= 0.038). Almost half of the practitioners (46.2%) required medical attention, with significant differences between types of practices (only large animals: OR= 5.36; 95%CI 2.20-13.04; P˂ 0.001; both: OR= 3.28; 95%CI 1.20-8.96; P= 0.021, only small species: control group). Similar results were recorded more years of professional activity (OR= 2.28; 95%CI 1.27-4.10; P= 0.006). Forty nine percent had lost working days, being more frequent in large animal practice (OR= 4.67; 95%CI 1.91-11.42; P= 0.001) or with both (OR= 2.96; 95%CI 1.08-8.15; P= 0.035) than among those who only worked with small species. Longer professional activity also persisted in this model as a risk factor (OR= 2.67; 95%CI 1.49-4.79; P= 0.001). In clinical veterinarians, self-medication and working injured after OA were frequent behaviors. Still, almost half of the professionals required medical attention and had lost working days. Large animal practice and the number of years of exposure were important risk factors.

Resumen: Los veterinarios están expuestos a numerosos peligros que pueden ocasionar diversos accidentes laborales (AL). Nuestro objetivo fue explorar los factores asociados con eventos posteriores a AL en veterinarios de la Provincia de Tucumán, Argentina. Se efectuó un estudio transversal mediante cuestionario estructurado anónimo en 210 profesionales elegidos al azar. Las variables dependientes fueron automedicación, continuidad laboral, atención médica y pérdidas de días laborales (si/no) y las independientes años de antigüedad profesional (≤12/˃12), género y tipo de práctica (grandes/ambos/pequeños). Luego de un tamizado con χ2, las variables independientes con P˂0,05 fueron ofrecidas a modelos de regresión logística. Las mujeres fueron más prevalentes en la práctica con pequeñas especies (P˂0,001) y entre los recientemente graduados (P=0,018). El 96,7% de los encuestados había tenido AL. El 81,4% se había automedicado, siendo más probable entre quienes trabajaban con grandes animales (OR=7,88; IC95% 1,01-61,91; P=0,050) y tenían mayor antigüedad profesional (OR=2,20; IC95% 1,03-4,62; P=0,042). El 77,6% había seguido trabajando aún lesionado, estando asociado con la automedicación (P˂0,001) y los años de exposición (OR=2,98; IC95% 1,46-6,12; P=0,003). Quienes sufrieron AL tuvieron 6,8±14,2 días de ausencia laboral (0-97 días), siendo más prolongadas en los hombres (P=0,038). El 46,2% requirió atención médica, con diferencias significativas entre tipos de prácticas (sólo grandes: OR=5,36; IC95% 2,20-13,04; P˂0,001; ambas: OR=3,28; IC95% 1,20-8,96; P=0,021, grupo control pequeñas especies). Similares resultados se registraron con la mayor antigüedad profesional (OR=2,28; IC95% 1,27-4,10; P=0,006). El 49,0% tuvo pérdidas de días laborales, siendo más frecuente en la práctica con grandes animales (OR=4,67; IC95% 1,91-11,42; P=0,001) o con ambas (OR=2,96; IC95% 1,08-8,15; P=0,035) que entre quienes sólo trabajaban con pequeñas especies. La mayor antigüedad profesional también persistió en este modelo como factor de riesgo (OR=2,67; IC95% 1,49-4,79; P=0,001). En veterinarios clínicos, la automedicación y el trabajar lesionado luego de un AL fueron comportamientos frecuentes. Aún así, prácticamente la mitad de los profesionales requirieron atención médica y tuvieron pérdidas de días laborales. La práctica en grandes animales y el número de años de exposición fueron importantes factores de riesgo. . Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
