Introduction : Needle stick injuries are wounds caused by needles that accidently harm the skin. Needle stick wounds are risky for health care providers, who work in clinical setting with hypodermic syringes and other sharp equipment's One of the most potentially hazardous procedure that health care personnel face is using and disposing of needles and sharps. The potential risk of transmission of blood borne viruses arises from exposure to blood and other body fluids from infected patients. Methodology : The present study was focused to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on Knowledge regarding Needle Stick Injury among Staff Nurses working in Selected Hospitals of Udaipur, Rajasthan. The study design was quantitative approach with pre experimental design adopted for this study. A total sample of 50 staff nurses were selected by convenience sampling technique. Demographic profile and structured knowledge questionnaire on needle stick injury was used for data collection. Structured teaching programme on needle stick injury was given to staff nurses. Post-test data was collected using same questionnaire after 7 days of administration of intervention. The data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results : Result reveals that in pre-test majority 25(50%) had poor knowledge, 20(840%) had average knowledge and 5(10%) had good knowledge regarding needle stick injury while in post-test majority 36(72%) had good knowledge and 14(28%) had average knowledge regarding needle stick injury. Findings showed that in pre-test mean knowledge score was 13.24±4.269 and in post-test mean knowledge score was 22.52±2.887 with mean difference of 9.28. The comparison was tested using paired t test (t=11.69, df=49, p=0.001) was statistically significant at p<0.05 level. Study results showed that structured teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge of staff nurses regarding needle stick injury. Result revealed that age of staff nurses were statistically found significant association at p<0.05 level. Conclusion : Study results concluded that structured teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge of staff nurses regarding needle stick injury. There is therefore an urgent need at the hospital level to have a uniform needle stick injuries policy covering safe work practices, safe disposal of sharps, procedures in event of needle stick injury, training including pre-employment training, monitoring and evaluation of needle stick injuries and procedures for reporting needle stick injuries.

Methods: This was a Quasi experiment study conducted at Nursing College, NSCB Medical College Jabalpur (M.P.) among 100 nursing students. A preformed questionnaire was used to assess existing knowledge of prevention and management of NSI, then students were given series of lectures and interactive sessions to prevent and manage NSI then same group was subjected to post intervention assessment. Results: It was observed that 78% respondents suffered NSI was during recapping of needle. Other than needle,86% respondents mentioned of getting struck by stylet of IV catheter, 14% subjects recalled more than 5 incidences of NSI in past 15 days. In post intervention assessment it was observed that intervention made a significant (Wilcoxon signed rank Test Z=6.68,p<0.001)) impact in knowledge of students for prevention and management of NSI. The intervention motivated 5 more students for Hepatitis B immunization.
