ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Needle stick injuries are associated with a risk of infection. The aim of this study was to collate the reasons for the failure to carry out prophylactic measures from the perspective of those affected.METHODS:
An anonymous internet questionnaire was designed to record the experiences of health care workers at the University Hospital Rostock with secondary infection prophylaxis after needle stick injuries.RESULTS:
During the investigation period 106 questionnaires were returned. There were deficiencies in the acceptance of prophylactic measures due to job-associated lack of time and social pressure.CONCLUSION:
The study suggests reorganization of work-flows and additional educational measures about the necessity of prophylactic procedures after needle stick injuries.
