A cross sectional study using multistage sampling method by means of structured interviewer administered questionnaire was designed to estimate the rate of occurrence of needlestick injuries among veterinarians involved in clinical practice and to evaluate needle handling practices and risk factors.
The study was carried out during the months of August–November 2015.
Out of the 215 veterinarians that participated in the survey, 171 (79.5%) reported to have suffered needlestick injuries (NSIs).
In the multivariable model, only male sex (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.4–6.0, and P=0.006) and working with poultry daily (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.1–6.2, and P=0.036) were significantly associated with NSI.
Most (111, 64.9%) veterinarians had discomfort including pain, headache, fever, worry, and local numbness from NSIs; however, none was hospitalised.
Only 1 (0.6%) had lost time at work.
The approach to needlestick injury avoidance was poor and most (98.8%) NSIs were not reported.
The findings of this research call for comprehensive health and injection safety programs for veterinarians involved in clinical practice.
