For many years, it has been recognised that health care workers worldwide are exposed to a range of occupational hazards. While research has been ongoing for some time, there remains much to learn, particularly in the context of newly industrialising countries. The body of research reported in this thesis -- Key occupational risks in two health professional groups: musculoskeletal, percutaneous and bioaerosol hazards among nurses and dentists in Australia and Thailand-- was conducted in South Australia, Queensland and southern Thailand. The two professional groups examined were Australian nurses and Thai dentists. Of particular interest to the research team were the major problems confronting these health professional groups and also the special issues confronting a health professional group in a newly industrialising country, Thailand. / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2002.
