- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of needle stick and sharp-related injuries (NSSI) and hepatitis B vaccination status among healthcare workers at Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital.
- Out of 506 healthcare workers surveyed, 60.1% had experienced NSSI, with nursing students notably facing a 21.3% incidence rate, while 71.7% of workers had received at least one dose of the hepatitis B vaccine.
- The findings highlighted a need for improved vaccination rates and safety measures, as over a quarter of workers faced injuries, and complete vaccination coverage was insufficient; thus, awareness and free immunization programs are essential for better protection.
