Objectives: Occupation-related sharp injuries are a global problem; the death toll is around 2 million and is rising in low-income nations like Ethiopia. No information has been reported on sharp injuries in North and South Gondar primary hospitals and present study aims to determine the prevalence of sharp injuries among healthcare workers. Methods: A institutional crosssectional study conducted and 351 were randomly chosen. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data and analyzed with SPSS ver23. Bivariate analysis and Multiple logistic regression were used to understand confounding factors. Findings: The prevalence of sharp injuries among Healthcare workers (HCWs) lifetime and preceding 12 months were 131 (37.3%) and 86 (24.5%), respectively, of which 76 (58%) and 47 (54.65%) were reported by females. The chance of recurrent incidence of sharp injuries was more in operation theatre (37.5%). The primary source of injury was syringe needles 52 (42.5%). HCWs >10 years of work experience are more likely to experience sharp injuries compared to those less experience (<5 years) [AOR: 0.40, 95% CI: (0.21, 0.79)]. Never had any training on sharp injuries were more likely to report a sharp injury compared to those reported training [AOR: 0.55, 95% CI: (0.3, 1.024)]. Worked more than 48 hours/week reported more likely sustained sharp injuries [AOR: 0.95, 95% CI: (0.93, 0.98)]. HCWs dissatisfied with their work environment reported sharp injuries more than satisfied ones [AOR = 0.34, 95% CI: (0.2, 0.6)]. Similarly, having low [AOR: 0.26, 95% CI: (0.13, 0.56)] and moderate risk perception [AOR: 0.36, 95% CI: (0.19, 0.67)] significantly raised the odds of sharp injuries occurrence compared to a high-risk perception for sharp injuries. Novelty/conclusion: Present study showcases the moderate risk perception,

ObjectiveNeedlestick and sharps injuries among healthcare workers (HCWs) pose significant occupational health problems. We aim to provide incidence and other epidemiological aspects of needlestick and sharp injuries (NSSIs) among HCWs in a tertiary teaching hospital in Indonesia, to inform the evaluation of NSSIs prevention programme.MethodsA cohort study was conducted at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in Jakarta. We analysed data of the sharps injury programme at the hospital between January 2014 and December 2017. Incidence of NSSIs was calculated per 1000 person-years (1000-PY).ResultsOver the 4-year period, a total of 286 NSSIs were reported. The mean NSSIs incidence rate for 4 years was 13.3/1000-PY, peaking in 2015 (15.5/1000-PY) then decreasing afterward. Most NSSIs were experienced by nurses (42.7%), but the highest incidence was among midwives (18.9/1000-PY), followed by nurses, medical students and medical doctors (15.2/1000-PY, 12.6/1000-PY and 11.8/1000-PY, respectively).

Sharps injury imposed a major threat towards safety and health among healthcare workers (HCWs). Many studies in Malaysia concentrated on prevalence of needle stick injury (NSI), however the prevalence of sharps injury among HCWs based on local guideline was still scarce in Malaysia. This information gap leads us to conduct this study. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of sharps injury among HCWs in Hospital Melaka and to describe the factors among staff with sharps injury. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Hospital Melaka, Malaysia. 165 reported cases from 2013-2015 were reviewed and secondary data extracted. Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 20. Among reported sharps injury cases in this study, 65 (39.4%) were male, while 100 (60.6%) were female. The mean age was 27.41 (SD: 6.06). More than half of the reported sharps injury occurred among doctor, 113 (68.5%) specifically House Officer; 89 (53.9%) followed by paramedic, 26 (15.8%) and others, 26 (15.8%). ...

Health workers are at risk of contracting diseases from blood/body fluids (bloodborne pathogens) in various ways through needle stick injuries or Needle Stick Injury (NSI). The trouble that can occur if a needle stick can cause HBV infection (Hepatitis B Virus), HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with work accidents involving needle sticks or other sharp objects in nurses at Leuwiliang Hospital, Bogor Regency, in 2018. This study used a crosssectional study design. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling with a total of 71 respondents. Data collection in this study used a questionnaire and analyzed the data with the chi-square statistical test using statistical application software (SPSS 16). The results showed that there was no relationship between unsafe acts (p-value = 0.461), unsafe conditions (p-value = 0.301, years of service (p-value = 0.757), knowledge (p-value = 0.190), supervision (p-value = 0.090) with a needle stick or other sharp object. As for the other variables, there is a relationship between skills (p-value = 0.010) OR = 0.237 (95% CI: 0.085-0.662), training (p-value = 0.022) OR = 3.566 (95% CI: 1.313-9.688) with accidents stabbed work needles or other sharp objects. This study concludes that the lack of skills and training affects nurses in work accidents because someone in every job needs skills and training to improve their abilities and expertise. so that they can complete tasks properly and can avoid the risk of work accidents.

objectives To assess the rate and determinants of sharp injuries during the previous 6 months among health care workers at first-level care facilities in two districts of Pakistan. methods Cross-sectional survey at public, general practitioners and non-licensed private practitioners selected through stratified random sampling. At each facility, we interviewed a prescriber and a dispenser ⁄ injection provider about knowledge of bloodborne pathogens transmission and preventive practices, risk perception, and use of precautions and sharp injuries received during the previous 6 months. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to assess the factors associated with the number of sharp injuries. results Fifty-four percentage of the 233 workers had at least one injury during the previous 6 months. The overall rate of sharp injuries per person per year was 3.7; among non-physician prescribers (9%), it was 4.3; among dispensers (69%), it was 3.7, and among physicians (18%), it was 2.1. In the multivariable model, work experience, risk perception and type of health care worker were significantly associated with receiving sharp injuries during the previous 6 months. In the model including dispensers only, a higher knowledge score was associated with fewer sharp injuries, while perceived severity of disease and lack of professional qualification were associated with more. conclusions Sharp injuries are common in Pakistan. Better knowledge about modes of bloodborne pathogen transmission and professional qualification may reduce their incidence. keywords injections, needlestick injuries, Pakistan, first-level care facilities, risk assessment, bloodborne pathogens
