Research Questions:
1.
What is the incidence of needlesticks and sharps injuries among COB student nurses?
2.
What are the factors that contribute to needlesticks and sharps injuries among COB student nurses?
3.
What is the percentage of reported needlesticks and sharps injuries among COB student nurses?
4.
What is the percentage of non-reported needlestick and sharps injuries among COB student nurses?
5.
What is the influence of select demographic on needlestick and sharp injuries in COB student
nurses?
Research Hypotheses:
H1. COB student nurses in the fourth and third years will have a higher incidence NSIs and sharps
injuries than student nurses in first and second years.
H2. The disposable needle (hypodermic) needle will be highest contributing factor to needlesticks
and sharps injuries in COB student nurses.
H3.There will be a low percentage of needlestick and sharps injuries amongst COB student nurses.
H4. There will be a high percentage of non-reported needlestick and sharps injuries amongst COB
student nurses.
H5. There will be strong positive correlation between the academic class of student nurses and the
incidence of needlestick and sharps injuries.
Nursing Education
New strategies such as -use of simulation laboratory for practical nursing training.
Education programs directed towards student nurses to increase their awareness and encourage
reporting.
Nursing Practice
A separate surveillance unit for nursing students that follows up injured student nurses as a part of a
local research or ongoing audit.
Future Research
Measurement of the impact of the new strategy on the reduction of NSIs and sharps injury.
The experiences of nurses injured through NSIs could be explored to enhance support.
Factors associated with NSIs and sharps injuries and reasons for non-reporting can be explored more
