Abstract (2. Language): 
Health-care workers have high risk of acquiring serious blood-borne infections. Laboratory personnel frequently experience injuries during blood withdrawal or laboratory procedures. We applied a questionnaire for staff working in Malatya State Hospital Biochemistry Laboratory to learn the annual incidence of needle-stick injury and their post-exposure reaction. Of the 41 participants, 12 subjects had experienced 15 exposures, half of the wounded informed the committee and only 3 of them (%25) received post-exposure prophylaxis. Laboratory personnel should be vaccinated for hepatitis B infection before contract, undergo periodic training courses and encourage them to report the exposure.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Sağlık çalışanları kan yolu ile bulaşan enfeksiyon hastalıkları açısından çok önemli bir risk grubudur. Laboratuvar personeli kan alma veya laboratuvar işlemi sırasında yaralanmaktadır. Malatya Devlet Hastanesi Biyokimya Laboratuvarı çalışanlarının kesici ve delici yaralanma biçimindeki yıllık kaza sıklığı ve temas sonrası tutumlarını öğrenmek için bir anket uygulandı. Ankete katılan 41 personelden 12’sinin son bir yılda toplam 15 kez kazaya uğradığı, bu vakaların yarısının temas sonrasında bildirimde bulunduğu ve yalnızca 3 kişiye (%25) temas sonrası profilaksi uygulandığı saptandı. Laboratuvar çalışanları meslek yaşamına başlarken hepatit B enfeksiyonuna karşı aşılanmalı, düzenli aralıklarla konu ile ilgili eğitime alınmalı ve yaralanma ertesinde bildirim yapmaları sağlanmalıdır.
