| Core Tip |
Needle stick and sharp injuries are complex multifactorial processes that are commonly observed in physical, psychological, and environmental fields. Therefore, preventing NSIs in medical personnels remains a critical health issue. To further reduce the risk of needle stick and sharp injuries, other factors affecting the incidence of NSIs, such as medical specialty and body weight, should be analyzed. This study aimed to investigate whether overtime work and obesity increase the risk of needle stick and sharp injuries. This study also aimed to provide insights into the development of more effective prevention plans for needle stick and sharp injuries. To the best of our knowledge, this finding has never been reported. |
