Allergy nurses are exposed to allergens and respiratory irritants, and there are no national guidelines addressing personnel safety when working with these agents. <jats:italic>Objective<\/jats:italic>. To investigate the prevalence of allergies, asthma, and hypersensitivity symptoms among allergy nurses and the use of protective equipment and measures when working with allergen concentrates and respiratory irritants. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A questionnaire survey was performed among the members of the Swedish Association of Allergy Nurses. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Diagnosed asthma was reported by 17%, while 18% had allergy to pets, 28% had allergy to pollens, and 26% reported nasal symptoms. Fifty-one percent reported a history of asthma, allergic diseases, or hypersensitivity symptoms in their family. Exhaust ventilation was used by 24% during skin prick tests, 17% during allergen specific immunotherapy, and 33% when performing methacholine challenge tests. Tightly closed containers for disposable waste were used by 58% during skin prick tests, by 60% during immunotherapy, and by 40% during Pc provocation tests. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Allergy nurses had a tendency to increased prevalence of lower respiratory symptoms, asthma, and allergic rhinitis and more than half of the nurses had a family history of asthma, allergic diseases, or hypersensitivity symptoms. Additional studies are needed to evaluate the validity of these results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/681934","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,6]],"date-time":"2014-04-06T21:04:38Z","timestamp":1396818278000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Hypersensitivity and the Working Environment for Allergy Nurses in Sweden"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2014","author":[{"given":"Pia","family":"Kalm-Stephens","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Health, Uppsala University, 751 85 Uppsala, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Therese","family":"Sterner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Woman, Child and Reproduction, Department of Pediatrics, Sk\u00e5ne University Hospital, 205 02 Lund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kerstin","family":"Kronholm Diab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University and Regional Laboratories Region Sk\u00e5ne, 205 02 Lund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Greta","family":"Smedje","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Sciences\/Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Uppsala University, 751 85 Uppsala, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2004.016287"},{"issue":"2","key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"188","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1398-9995.1992.tb00963.x","volume":"47","year":"1992","journal-title":"Allergy"},{"issue":"2","key":"3","first-page":"99","volume":"101","year":"1992","journal-title":"Hygiea"},{"year":"1996","key":"4"},{"issue":"3","key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"671","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm\/148.3.671","volume":"148","year":"1993","journal-title":"American Review of Respiratory Disease"},{"issue":"10","key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"767","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-110-10-767","volume":"110","year":"1989","journal-title":"Annals of Internal Medicine"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.126.4.1048"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envres.2005.02.008"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2008.042382"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200609-1331OC"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(07)61164-7"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2006.031203"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaci.2011.08.028"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.02.00046802"},{"issue":"2","key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"213","DOI":"10.1111\/all.12079","volume":"68","year":"2013","journal-title":"Allergy"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0016082"},{"year":"2011","key":"18"},{"year":"2001","key":"19"},{"year":"2001","key":"20"},{"year":"2011","key":"21"},{"key":"22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rmed.2011.06.003"},{"key":"23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1398-9995.2006.01166.x"}],"container-title":["Journal of Allergy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2014\/681934.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2014\/681934.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2014\/681934.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,9]],"date-time":"2020-12-09T19:20:41Z","timestamp":1607541641000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/ja\/2014\/681934\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,6]]},"references-count":22,"alternative-id":["681934","681934"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2014\/681934","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-9783","1687-9791"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1687-9783"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1687-9791"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,6]]}}}
