摘　　要：目的了解门诊老年患者对体温计破损后汞泄漏危害性的认知状况,为防护知识培训提供依据。方法采集69例有过体温计破损汞泄漏经历的门诊老年患者,利用问卷调查法进行调查,了解门诊老年患者对汞泄漏危害的认知及防护状况。结果 100%的被调查老年患者知道汞对人体健康有害,但仅有7%的患者能正确说出汞对人体的具体损害部位。88%的患者采取将外泄汞直接倒入生活垃圾桶(或下水道)的错误处理方法。87%的被调查者未接受过汞危害相关知识教育。结论门诊老年患者对于汞泄漏危害性及正确处理方法认知水平较低。提示在门诊老年患者就诊期间,门诊医务人员应加强汞危害知识和防护措施的宣传教育,提高患者对于汞危害的重视程度,降低汞暴露的风险。Objective To investigate the knowledge of older outpatients toward the hazards of mercury due to thermometer damage. Methods A total of 69 older outpatients who had the experience of thermometer damage were investigated with a self-designed questionnaire. Results All the involved older patients knew that mercury was harmful to health. But only 7% of them knew the body sites of mercury hazards;88% of them disposed the mercury directly into the general trash bin or cloacae;87% of them didn＇t receive the health education on the hazards and disposal of mercury. Conclusion The knowledge of older outpatients toward the hazards and disposal of mercury is poor. It is necessary for medical staff to provide relative education for the older outpatients to improve their knowledge about mercury and take measures to reduce the risk of exposure to mercury.
