Evaluation of a Preclinical, Educational and Skills-Training Program to Improve Students' Use of Blood and Body Fluid Precautions: One-Year Follow-up

Occupational exposure to blood and body fluids among Turkish nursing students during clinical practice training: frequency of needlestick/sharp injuries and hepatitis B immunisation

“…Therefore, it has been suggested that nursing students are at a higher risk than other health workers. These findings indicate that a main risk factor for NSIs may be prevented by learning manual procedures before clinical practice (Jeffe et al. 1999, Liddell et al.…”

“…Furthermore, nursing schools have required that hepatitis B immunisation be instituted in the first semester (DeVries & Cossart 1994, Wurtz et al. 1994, Jeffe et al. 1999, Liddell et al.…”

A review of the evidence for suboptimal compliance of healthcare practitioners to standard/universal infection control precautions

“…Other interventions include peer review (Moongtui et al. 2000), skills training (Jeffe et al. 1999, Kim et al.…”

“…2002, Wang et al. 2003), whilst a few were carried out over a period of one year or more (Jeffe et al. 1999, Kim et al.…”

Differences in Percutaneous Injury Patterns in A Multi-Hospital System

“…Multiple educational interventions and the introduction of several safer devices have contributed to this substantial decrease. [8][9][10][11] Significant differences were found in the patterns of occurrence of percutaneous injury among the hospitals studied. Most published data are from large, adult, urban hospitals, and may not accurately reflect which personnel, locations, equipment, and activities are at the highest risk at other types of facilities.…”
