Objective: 1. to understand the sharp injuries incidence among nursing staff and the associated factors; 2. to investigate the associated factors for polluted sharp injuries; 3. to study the polluted sharp injuries risk ratio. Method: the cross-sectional retrospective study design was adopted. The needlestick reporting system was used to analyze the reported needlestick events of the nursing staff in 8 branch of Taipei City hospitals from January 2011 to December 2012. The data collected included the basic characteristics of sharp injuries subjects, years of work experience, advanced professional skills and courses as part 1; the timing and medical conduct of sharp injuries events, sharp injuries object classification as part 2; the adherence to standard operating procedure, use of protective equipment, operation accuracy as part 3. The statistical methods used involved percentage, chi-squire, correlation, and Odds ratio. Results: 1. The sharp injuries events occurred mostly during blood withdrawal and medical practices (67.12%) among junior nursing staff with no more than 1 year of work experience; 2. the sharp injuries risk ratio of those who did not follow the instructions of the use of needle collectors was 5.067 times higher than those who did (OR=5.067, 95% CI=1.840-13.955; p=.001); 3. The sharp injuries risk ratio of those who did not comply with the instructions of the use of trolleys was 2.800 times higher than those who did (OR=2.800; 95% CI=1.062-7.385; p=.035). Conclusion: Compliance with the standard operating procedure and the use of protective equipment were able to eliminate the hurdle of unsafe behaviors in the work place and therefore reduce the sharp injuries risks. However, how to ascertain the adherence to the standard operating procedure among nursing staff, the full use of protective equipment during medical practices, and the reduction of anthropogenic sharp injuries risks were the major goals that the hospitals should attempt to achieve. |
