Background: In developing countries including Ethiopia, the risk of having work-related injury is 10 to 20 times higher than that of developed countries. In their everyday clinical practice, nurse students are at a great risk of occupational hazards, especially risk of exposure to blood borne pathogens potentially resulting to infections. High levels of occupational hazards are believed to affect students' health and academic performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
