“…In this study, work experience/year of service showed statistically significant association with the occurrence of NSSI among nurses at p< 0.05. This finding is similar with studies conducted in three hospitals, Izmir, Turkey [2] , and secondary care hospital, Gaza Strip [11] showed that work experience/year of service had shown statistically significant association with the occurrence of NSSI among nurses at p< 0.05. It is due to the fact that as year of service increases, the chance of getting NSSI also increases.…”

Background: Needle-stick and sharp injuries are the most common and preventable occupational hazards that health care workers are exposed for the transmission of a variety of blood borne infections such as HBV, HCV, and HIV/AIDS. However, there is limited information in the study area that describes about the prevalence of needle-stick and sharp injuries and associated factors among nurses. Objective: to assess the prevalence of needle stick and sharp injuries and associated factors among nurses working in Dire Dawa city administration public health facilities. Method and Materials: An institutional based cross sectional study design was conducted among nurses working in Public Health Facilities. All nurses (413) working in all public health facilities were included in the study. Data were collected using pretested structured English version self-administered questionnaire. Binary logistic regression was used to identify predictors of needle stick and sharp injuries. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to see the association between the outcome variable and each independent variable. Results: This study revealed that the one year and lifelong prevalence of needle stick and sharp injury was 33.16% (95%CI: 29.93%, 36.01%) and 52.3% (95%CI: 47.2%, 56.8%) respectively. This study showed that year of service/work experience (AOR=2.36, 95%CI: 1.22, 4.59), job related stress (AOR=2.23, 95%CI: 1.28, 3.87), training on infection prevention (AOR=0.52, 95%CI: 0.30, 0.89) and presence of contaminated sharp materials at work place (AOR=2.77, 95%CI: 1.61, 4.75) were statistically significant with the occurrence of NSSIs among nurses. Conclusions and Recommendations: This study indicated that there is high prevalence of needle stick and sharp injuries among nurses. Therefore, strengthening regular provision of information and training on infection prevention and safety to nurses at all levels should be given attention and nurses also should practice proper use of safety box and use personal protective equipment (PPEs) during handing and working with needles and other sharp materials.

“…In this study, year of service >10 years was significantly associated with the occurrence of occupational exposure to sharp injuries among nurses at p<0.05. This finding was similar with studies conducted in three hospitals, Izmir, Turkey 18 and a secondary care hospital, Gaza Strip, 27 which showed that year of service had shown significant association with the occurrence of occupational exposure to sharp injuries among nurses at p<0.05. It might be due to the fact that as years of service increases, the chance of getting occupational exposure to sharp injuries also increases.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the magnitude of occupational exposure to sharp injuries and identify its associated factors among nurses.DesignInstitution-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from 1 to 30 November 2022.AnalysisThe collected data were entered into EpiData V.4.2; then, exported to Stata V.14 for analysis. Variables with a p value of <0.05 at 95% CI were considered significantly associated with occupational exposure to sharp injuries.SettingThe study was conducted in South Gondar zone public hospitals.ParticipantsNurses working in South Gondar zone public hospitals.ResultsOf the total respondents, 213 (56.65%) were between the ages of 25 and 34 with the mean±SD of age 30.22±6.63 years. Similarly, 202 (53.72%) of the respondents were women. This study finding showed that the magnitude of occupational exposure to sharp injuries among nurses was 52.39% (95% CI: 47.92% to 56.37%). Moreover, this study finding showed that year of service >10 years (adjusted OR (AOR)=2.35, 95% CI: 1.21 to 4.57), lack of infection prevention training (AOR=1.85, 95% CI: 1.09 to 3.45), job-related stress (AOR=2.24, 95% CI: 1.27 to 3.89) and presence of contaminated sharps at the workplace (AOR=2.76, 95% CI: 1.67 to 4.72) were significantly associated with occupational exposure to sharp injuries among nurses.ConclusionsGenerally, this study finding reported that the magnitude of occupational exposure to sharp injuries among nurses was high. This study finding also showed that years of service >10 years, lack of infection prevention training, job-related stress and the presence of contaminated sharps at the workplace were independent predictors of occupational exposure to sharp injuries among nurses. Hence, all the concerned bodies should strengthen regular provision of infection prevention training to nurses at all levels. Nurses should practice proper use of safety box more than ever in order to avoid the presence of contaminated needles and other sharp materials at the workplace.
