Background: We aimed to probe into the occupational exposure causes and mental status of infectious diseases in pre-hospital emergency medical personnel.Methods: Forty medical personnel with occupational exposure to infectious diseases who participated in prehospital emergency work in 120 emergency center of The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China were selected as respondents from February 2018 to February 2021. The occupational exposure modes, exposure degrees, exposure sites, exposure sources and exposure causes of infectious diseases were summarized, and the mental status of emergency medical personnel after occupational exposure to infectious diseases was analyzed.Results: In the occupational exposure modes of infectious diseases, needle stick injuries were overtly higher than mucosal pollution, hematic and humoral pollution and incised wound by glass (P<0.05). In exposure degrees, slight bleeding was notably higher than excessive bleeding, bleeding and no bleeding (P<0.05). The hand was distinctly higher than the eye in exposure sites (P<0.05). In exposure sources, hepatitis B virus was visibly higher than hepatitis C virus, HIV, syphilis, intravenous drug, hemorrhagic fever and unknown cause (P<0.05). The scores of somatic symptoms, anxiety, depression, fear, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, compulsion and paranoia in medical personnel were clearly higher than the norm in Chinese adults after occupational exposure to infectious diseases (P<0.05), with no statistical significance in the comparison of psychotic scores.Conclusion: The occupational exposure risk of infectious diseases among pre-hospital emergency medical personnel is high. It is necessary to strengthen pre-job training and education and improve standardized management for protection.
