Abstract

The results of meta-analysis carried out on all documents for the valuation of the risk, recorded by IRCCS of Neuroscience, has led to identify a risk matrix for the medical personnel of the Scientific Institute of Neuroscience. Such analysis allowed to tackle the day to day risk faced by hospital staff. As a general rule the IRCCS of Neurosciences distinguishes themselves as structures of mainly neurologic typology and as structures of more typical psychiatric interest. In the first case the analogy with the traditional Hospital structures are more noticeable, in the second case instead the kind of patients and the particular relations between the health worker and the patient himself may represent an important differentiation factor. This is, above all, evident on the biological risk; for it's determinism has an important rule the interpersonal relationship between the health worker and the patient. Concerning other risk factors such as the chemical and the allergic one, it is noticeable a closed analogy with the actual Hospital reality. On work organization level, manual handling of patients is often necessary and also the relatives risks. In this kind of structures the stress factor is of the greatest importance, it should therefore have a strong consideration on the valuation of risk by the IRCCS.
