介绍。-病理学家职业面临各种风险，特别是传染病、物理和化学风险。本研究的目的是对病理学家面临的这些职业风险进行盘点，并评估他们所表现出的病理。特别注意显微镜和屏幕工作，因为它们会引起肌肉骨骼或眼部疾病，以及与压力有关的心理障碍。-一份包含54个问题的匿名在线调查问卷已通过法国病理学会和法国病理学家联合会邮寄给病理学家。512名病理学家参与了调查。38%的人在过去6个月里报告了肌肉骨骼疾病。73.4%的受访者有视觉障碍。在过去的12个月里，33.3%的病理学家在肉眼或尸检标本中受伤或有粘膜突出。传染病的发病率较低（6.2%），癌症的发病率较低（3.9%）。16.7%的受访者报告有抑郁或倦怠等心理障碍。病理学家在工作中似乎很快乐，总体生活方式也很好。很少有医生进行医疗随访，很少有人从人体工程学咨询和化学品风险培训中受益。-这项研究的结果显示了适应病理学家提出的病理的医学监测的兴趣。应在职业生涯早期就采取教育和预防措施，重点是人体工程学和了解化学和生物危害。(C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS。版权所有。
Introduction. - The profession of pathologist exposes to various risks, notably infectious, physical and chemical. The objective of this study was to make an inventory of these occupational risks to which pathologists are subjected and to evaluate the pathologies that they presented. A particular attention was given to microscopic and screen work as they can induce musculoskeletal or ophthalmic disorders, and stress-related psychological disorders.Method. - An anonymous online questionnaire containing 54 questions had been sent by mail to pathologists via the French Society of Pathology and the Syndicate of French Pathologists.Results. - Five hundred and twelve pathologists responded to the survey. Thirty-eight percent reported musculoskeletal disorders in the last 6 months. Visual disturbances concerned 73.4% of respondents. In the last 12 months, 33.3% of pathologists had been injured or had had mucosal projections during macroscopic or autopsy specimens. The frequency of infectious diseases was low (6.2%) as well as that of cancers (3.9%). Psychological disorders such as depression or burnout were reported by 16.7% of respondents. Pathologists seemed happy at work and had a good overall lifestyle. Few doctors had medical follow-up and few had benefited from ergonomic advice and training on the risks of chemicals.Conclusion. - The results of this study showed the interest of a medical surveillance adapted to the pathologies presented by the pathologists. Educational and preventive measures should be introduced early in the career, focusing on ergonomics and learning about chemical and biological hazards. (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS.
