ZKZiad KaddourRARami Abdul-HalimZAZeina Al-Khalil

Key Points

  • The study examines blood and body fluid exposure (BBFE) and reporting behaviors among healthcare workers over a decade.
  • Comparative analysis of BBFE reporting behaviors over ten years
  • Surveys to assess awareness and perception improvements
  • Evaluation of institutional reporting rates and cultural barriers
  • Persistent occupational hazards related to BBFE remain despite increased awareness
  • High reporting rates indicate institutional progress
  • Behavioral and cultural barriers to compliance continue to exist

Abstract

Despite modest improvements in awareness and perception, BBFE remains a persistent occupational hazard across professional categories. High reporting rates reflect institutional progress, yet behavioral and cultural barriers to full compliance persist. Sustained efforts targeting safety culture, reporting accessibility, and psychosocial barriers are needed to achieve lasting reductions in occupational exposure.
