<p>A total of 82 healthcare workers were interviewed, with a median age of 31 (range:25 -50 years). More than half of the respondents, 54% (44,) experienced sharps-related injuries, 82% (67/82) were needle-stick injuries, and 18% (15/82) were other sharps-related injuries. Of those who experienced sharps-related injuries, 77% (34/44) reported more than one injury, Fifty-two percent (23/44) of needlestick injuries occurred during recapping; and only 25% (11/44) took post-exposure prophylaxis. Although we did not observe statistical association, women were more likely to have exposed needle-stick and sharp injuries (aOR=1.4, CI: 0.44, 4.39). Health workers with more than 3 years of work were 3 times more likely to experience stick and sharp-related injuries (aOR=3.3, CI: 0.93, 11.66). Training in the use of safety devices reduced exposure to needle sticks and sharp injuries (aOR=0.4, CI: 0.11, 1.44).</p>
