The aims of this study were to estimate the frequency of accidents and zoonoses, the use of personal protective equipment and its associated factors in bovine and equine practitioners. A crosssectional study was carried out by means of personal interviews with a structured questionnaire in Mendoza, Argentina. Practitioners were selected by simple random sampling (n= 78). Statistical analysis included Pearson correlation coefficient, Student´s t test, analyses of variance and Fisher exact test. The majority of practitioners (98.7%) had suffered occupational accidents, being the most frequent physical exertion and contact with sharp objects. Lesion type and location were not associated with practitione ´s sex, age nor animal species. Many (51.3%) had worked while injured and 74.4% self-medicated. Zoonoses affected 11.5% of interviewees. Gloves were the most frequent element used for protection. Age was lower among practitioners who always wore protective elements in medical activitiesthan among practitioners who wore them sometimes or never. The opposite were found in relation to protective elements in non-specific activities (P< 0.05). The remaining factors were no significantly associated. Veterinarians? occupational safety could be improved by enhancing awareness on new generations of professionals. Fil: Navarrete, M.B. Universidad Juan Agustín Maza.

Tarabla, H.D. 2018 Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron estimar la frecuencia de accidentes laborales y zoonosis, el uso de elementos de protección personal y sus factores asociados en veterinarios de bovinos y equinos. Se efectuó un estudio transversal mediante entrevistas personales con cuestionario estructurado en Mendoza, Argentina. El diseño fue aleatorio simple y el tamaño muestral n=78. El análisis estadístico incluyó correlación de Pearson, t de Student, análisis de la varianza y test exacto de Fisher. El 98,7% tuvo accidentes laborales, siendo los más frecuentes esfuerzo físico excesivo y contacto con objetos corto-punzantes. El tipo y la localización de las lesiones no estuvieron asociados a la especie animal de práctica profesional, el sexo o la edad de los entrevistados. El 51,3% trabajó en inferioridad de condiciones físicas y el 74,4% se auto-medicó. El 11,5% padeció alguna zoonosis. Los guantes fueron los elementos de protección más utilizados. La edad fue menor entre quienes siempre utilizaban elementos de protección en actividades médicas y mayor entre quienes siempre se protegían en actividades no específicas de la profesión (P< 0,05). Los restantes factores no estuvieron significativamente asociados. La seguridad ocupacional de los veterinarios podría mejorar través de la concientización de las nuevas generaciones de profesionales. application/pdf 1514-6634 (impreso) 1668-3498 (en línea) Riesgos laborales Veterinarios Protección personal Occupational risks Veterinarians Personal safety spa Universidad de Buenos Aires.
