Abstract Objective To find out about the occurrence of sharp instrument injuries to the medical staff of a hospital, identify the risk factors and propose prevention and control measures in order to reduce the incidence of sharp instrument injuries.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted to retrospectively investigate sharp instrument injuries to the medical personnel in our hospital in April 2017.Results Among the 1184 medical staffs surveyed, there were 19 cases of (1.60%) sharp instrument injuries. There was significant difference in the incidence of sharp instrument injuries between health care providers with different jobs. The incidence of sharp instrument injuries to nurses was higher than that of medical technicians. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of sharp instrument injuries to the medical staff between staffs of different genders or different lengths of employment. Sharp instrument injuries were more likely to occur in ordinary wards, accounting for 78.95%, Intravenous/subcutaneous injection was a leading cause of such injuries, accounting for 36.84%, Disposable syringes were most responsible for sharp instrument injuries, accounting for 36.84%.Conclusions In April 2017, nurses and ordinary wards were more vulnerable to sharp instrument injuries in this hospital. Intravenous/subcutaneous injection and disposable syringes were more likely to cause such injuries. High-risk populations and vulnerable processes should be more effectively monitored to reduce the incidence of sharp instrument injuries.
