摘要

Background: Needle Stick Injuries (NSIs) are the most common occupational injuriesamong HCWs. The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence and distribution of determinantsfor such injuries in a university hospital in Tehran, Iran, in 2016.Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study in Ziaeian Hospital, a teaching hospitalof Tehran University. The medical records of 55 Health Care Workers (HCWs) who experiencedNSIs in 2016, were extracted from the hospital registry and analyzed using SPSS version 22.Results: Available data of 55 HCWs with a history of NSIs were extracted from the hospital registry.The highest number of NSIs belonged to registered nurses (34.6%), licensed practical nurses(14.5%) and medical doctors (12.7%), respectively. The majority of the NSIs occurred in themorning shift (50.9%) followed by night shift (36.4%) and evening shift (12.7%). Most of theNSIs occurred in the emergency department (38.1%) and operating room (18.2%). The healthcareworkers reported fatigue as the most common reason for being injured by needles (67.4%). All theHCWs were trained and familiarized with the safety and risk control measures after needle stickexposures in the hospital.Discussion: The present study described the determinants of NSIs among HCWs in a universityhospital. The fatigue and working overload were the main reasons for NSIs. The results of thisstudy could be used to address the shortcoming in the guidelines and protocols to ensure the sustainablesafety measures that could reduce the occurrence of the NSIs in hospitals in Iran.
