- W4386882007 abstract "Abstract Objective There is little data on sharps injuries among healthcare workers in West Africa, despite the region’s high rate of Hepatitis B and HIV. The purpose of this study is to investigate healthcare workers’ history of sharps injury in Liberia and Ghana. Design An electronic cross-sectional survey disseminated by local nursing, midwifery, physician assistant, and physician associations. Setting Healthcare workers in Liberia and Ghana from February to June 2022. Participants Participant were registered nurses, physician assistants, physicians, or midwives, and had been working in a patient care role for at least nine of the previous twelve months. Methods A link to the survey was texted to participants through their professional association membership lists, including nursing, midwifery, and physician assistant organizations in both Liberia and Ghana and a physician organization in Ghana only. Results 509 participants reported an average of 1.8 injuries per year in Liberia and 1.1 in Ghana (p=<0.01). 15.1% of healthcare workers reported three or more injuries in the past year. Liberia had a higher proportion of frequently injured workers (p=<0.01). Frequently injured workers were evenly distributed across worker types. Conclusions Workers in this region are vulnerable to sharps injuries. A frequently injured subset of workers likely has distinctive risk factors and would benefit from further investigation and intervention." @default.
