Resumen
GONZALEZ-BETETA, Javier y SANCHEZ-GOMEZ, Martín. Factors associated with needlestick injuries in nurses: a systematic review. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.3, pp.353-361. Epub 20-Dic-2021. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objectives:
The objective of this study was to determine the main factors related to sharps accidents in nursing personnel.
Material and Method:
This work consists of a systematic review of researches published between 2007 and 2021 through five databases; BVS, CINAHL, PUBMED, SciELO and Scopus. A total of 262 articles were found, leaving a final selection of 24 researches.
Results:
The main factors associated with percutaneous punctures were the workload, the lack of safety equipment, the number of hours worked, the low professional training and the area where the work was performed. The highest injury rate occurred during recapping of used needles.
Conclusions:
The review confirms the high frequency with which percutaneous injuries occur among nursing professionals, as well as the variety of risk factors related to these injuries, with recapping being the most dangerous action.
