Abstract

Background: Today more than 20 blood-borne pathogens have been transmitted via a NEEDLE-STICK INJURY (NSl). Three are of particular concern; hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and human immunodeficiency virus. Thus, the present study was conducted to determine the KNOWLEDGE, attitude and practices of medical staff in 505 army hospital in November 2002.Materials and Methods: For this descriptive study, questionnaire filled for 88 medical staff. The KNOWLEDGE and related factors, HBV vaccination status, anti HBs level after complete vaccination, history of NSI, management and follow up after NSl all were determined.Results: Eighty- eight persons Were enrolled in this study with a manage of 30 years (range 16- 50 years ), of whom 52 were males (59%) and 36 were females (41%) with a mean 10 years duration of occupation. (Range, 1 month - 29 years). Sixty one have had vaccination against HB of whom only 15 had serum level of anti HBs antibodies. Twenty nine people have 1-100 times of NSl. Nurses had the greatest number of NSl (55.2 %), followed by physicians with 20.7%. Overall rate of NSl in our hospital was 28.5 per 100 HEALTH CARE WORKERS per year.Conclusion: Unfortunately, KNOWLEDGE of staff about NSl and BBP was not satisfying. Further education is needed. Vaccination for HBV was satisfactory, but serum level of anti HBs antibodies must be checked regularly.
