Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Occupational Health
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Nurses are at high risk for needlestick injuries despite education and safety equipment.
  • Understanding risk factors and coping mechanisms is crucial for preventing these injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the causes of needlestick injuries in nurses.
  • To understand nurses' coping strategies post-injury.
  • To identify recommendations for preventing needlestick injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative descriptive study using focus group interviews.
  • 31 direct care nurses with experience of needlestick injuries participated.
  • Thematic analysis was used to analyze data collected in South Korea.

Main Results:

  • Identified three main themes: needlestick injury experiences, coping mechanisms, and expectations.
  • Emergency situations and novice nurses were primary causes of injuries.
  • Personal protective equipment was often perceived as cumbersome, and reporting varied by workplace.

Conclusions:

  • Needlestick injury risk situations and coping mechanisms among nurses are diverse.
  • Preventative strategies should address emergency protocols and support for novice nurses.
  • Improving the reporting system and usability of personal protective equipment is recommended.
