Background.
Needlestick and sharp injuries are a big risk to the health of nurses.
Every day, nurses face the likelihood that they will injure themselves.
Although many injuries will have no adverse effect, the possibility of acquiring infections like hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus, and human immunodeficiency virus can cause untold psychological harm.
Nurses are in danger of injuries caused by needlestick and sharp instruments in hospitals.
Objective.
The objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and determinants of needlestick and/or sharp injuries among nurses working at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2018.
Methods.
An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 268 nurses working at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital from February to March 2018.
A stratified random sampling technique was used to select the study participants.
Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire.
A bivariate and multivariate logistic regression model was fitted to spot factors associated with needlestick and/or sharp injury.
An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was computed to determine the level of significance.
Result.
The prevalence of needlestick and/or sharp injuries among nurses was 36.2% (95% CI 30.2%, 42.3%).
Presence of contaminated needles and/or sharp materials in the working area (AOR=2.052 (95% CI 1.110, 3.791)), needle recapping after use (AOR=1.780 (95% CI 1.025, 3.091)), working in the pediatric ward (AOR=0.323 (95% CI 0.112, 0.930)), and being female (AOR=0.461 (95% CI 0.252, 0.845)) were significantly associated with needlestick and/or sharp injury at p value of ≤0.05.
Conclusion and Recommendation.
The proportion of needlestick and/or sharp injury was high among nurses.
The safety of nurses depends directly on the degree to which nurses can identify and control the numerous occupational hazards specific to jobs.
Thus, working unit specific safety precautions, a safe working environment, and appropriate needle and sharp disposal improve nurses’ safety practices and thereby decrease the injuries.
