Abstract: (84 Views)
Introduction: Healthcare workers are obligated to repeatedly adhere to health issues such as hand hygiene and wearing protective gloves due to the nature of their profession. The aim of this review study is to investigate the skin health status of healthcare workers in terms of dermatitis.
Materials and Methods: The current study is a systematic review that was carried out in eight steps based on the prism elimination method: selecting the topic, determining the entry and exit criteria, determining the search method using standard related keywords, determining the appropriate databases (in this study, the most suitable scientific databases to search were PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, SID and Magiran and Google Scholar search engine), selection of studies (through the study of 124 article abstracts), quality assessment (at this stage, two researchers independently reviewed and scored the extracted resources after designing an appropriate tool for quality assessment (18 relevant articles)), data extraction, data analysis and presentation of results which is the final stage.
Results: The findings indicate that occupational skin problems are highly prevalent among healthcare workers. Among the occupational skin issues and diseases, contact dermatitis is more common in this group of individuals due to various reasons.
Conclusion: According to the findings of the research, it appears that conducting screening tests among healthcare workers can be beneficial in preventing future diseases. Additionally, increasing awareness among healthcare providers about the causes of contact dermatitis can lead to behavioral modifications and consequently help reduce its occurrence.
