Needlestick injury (NSI) is still a major health concern in the healthcare system due to its high incidence rate, especially among the nurses who acquire the most number due to their frequent handling of needles, despite presence of guidelines and protocols. Recognizing that adherence is multifactorial, researchers have only focused on the relationship of education and knowledge of nurses to their adherence, which showed an inverse relationship, implying significant difference in the level of adherence between staff and student nurses. This study aims to determine the gaps or differences to needlestick injury prevention guidelines (NSIPG) between staff nurses and student nurses and its association with the different variables affecting it. A descriptive correlational design was used. A total of 104 staff nurses from two (2) level III hospitals and 258 student nurses from schools affiliated to these hospitals participated. A self-administered questionnaire was used to determine the respondents’ perceptions on the severity and their susceptibility to NSIs, and their perceived barriers and benefits from NSI prevention. The head or charge nurses in each hospital ward were also interviewed to provide reliable information for the organizational characteristics that can influence the staff nurses’ and student nurses’ adherence to NSIPG. Findings revealed that NSIs were found to be more prevalent among registered nurses (RN) although both RNs and students nurses (SN) have equal likelihood to report NSIs. While RNs and SNs were generally adherent to NSIPG, RNs were found to be more adherent than SNs. Adherence to NSIPG is significantly associated with perceived benefits and organizational factors. Success of role modeling by staff nurses and clinical instructors to student nurses should be done as early as the foundation and pre-employment stage. Presence of policies and guidelines, presence of education and training programs, and availability of resources related to NSIPG should be ensured. Also, monitoring and improvement in the provision of education on infection control practices for staff nurses should be maintained. Nursing Research. Delos Santos, Jose Raphael M.
