In the current study, less than half of the study subjects (43.2%) had comprehensive knowledge about universal precaution guidelines in comparison to better knowledge reported by studies from Tamil Nadu 16,24 and China (73.2% & 75.1% respectively). The present study showed majority of the study subjects know HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C (93.4%, 94.8% and 82.7% respectively) are transmitted by NSIs which is consistent with studies from Assam & 23,24 Tamil Nadu.…”

Background: NSI is an important but preventable occupational hazard among Health care workers (HCWs) all over the world. Objective:To assess prevalence of NSIs and related knowledge and practices among HCWs of a tertiary health care institution. Methods: It was an institution based, cross sectional study done among junior doctors (interns and house staffs) and nurses in a tertiary health care institution of Kolkata. Complete enumeration was done and sample size was 215. Aself-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Results: The prevalence of NSIs was 22.3%, more among junior doctors compared to nurses (28.3% vs. 11.7%), majority experiencing 1-3 incidents in last 3 months. Recapping of needle was the most common activity leading to NSIs (56.3%). Only 14.6% reported their NSIs to their authority. 64.2% of the study subjects were vaccinated against Hepatitis B. The study subjects had fair knowledge about the diseases transmitted by NSIs, but their practice on post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) was poor. Heavy workload, fatigue, lack of protective measures and inadequate training contributed to NSIs, as they reported. Conclusion: Greater awareness and willingness to adhere to the designed protocols for sharps management among HCWs are urgently needed to prevent this problem.

“…It was found that (54.54%) of needle stick injuries were not reported. Among injury exposures, [8] in a study of Cui et al [21] sharp injuries among the studied subjects were commonly underreported. Also, the possible reasons for needle stick injuries from Sharma's [22] study; the greater part of injuries (48%) occurred after needle use but before disposal and only 6.8% during disposal of the needle when recapping needle was observed to be the most frequent procedure.…”

Pendahuluan. Petugas kesehatan memiliki risiko pajanan infeksi yang cukup tinggi. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, dan human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) adalah beberapa penyakit yang dapat menular melalui pajanan cairan atau jaringan tubuh. Rumah Sakit Umum Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) telah mencanangkan profilaksis pasca pajanan terhadap HIV, hepatitis B, dan hepatitis C. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menilai pelaksanaan profilaksis pasca pajanan terhadap HIV, hepatitis B, dan hepatitis C pada petugas kesehatan di RSCM Jakarta. Metode. Studi potong lintang dilakukan pada petugas terpajan yang terdata melalui laporan di RSCM Jakarta pada tahun 2014-2016. Data demografis dikumpulkan melalui rekam medis dan dilanjutkan dengan wawancara untuk data tambahan. Data diolah secara statistik menggunakan SPSS versi 20. Hasil. Dari 196 subjek yang melaporkan pajanan, sebagian besar merupakan perempuan (69,9%), bekerja sebagai perawat (38,3%), dan dokter (49,5%), serta mayoritas terpajan secara per kutan (93,4%). Dari seluruh laporan tersebut didapatkan 183 pajanan berisiko, dengan anti-HIV reaktif pada 19 (10,4%), HBsAg positif pada 11 (6,0%), dan anti-HCV reaktif pada 12 (6,6%) sumber pajanan. Mayoritas petugas terpajan diketahui tidak memiliki HIV, hepatitis B, dan hepatitis C. Hanya 27,5% petugas terpajan memiliki kadar anti-HBs protektif. Dari 183 pajanan berisiko, sebanyak 44,3% mendapatkan rekomendasi antiretroviral (ARV), namun hanya 49,4% petugas yang minum ARV secara lengkap (28 hari). Capaian evaluasi anti-HIV pada bulan ke-3 dan ke-6 hanya dilakukan oleh 21,3% petugas. Rekomendasi profilaksis pasca pajanan hanya diberikan kepada 20,3% laporan, dengan capaian hanya 13,5% dan 13,3% untuk vaksinasi hepatitis B dan immunoglobulin (HBIG). Evaluasi ulangan HBsAg 3 dan 6 bulan secara lengkap hanya dilakukan oleh 13,5% petugas kesehatan, mayoritas petugas (64,9%) tidak melakukan evaluasi ulang HBsAg. Dari seluruh pajanan berisiko hepatitis C, mayoritas tidak melakukan evaluasi ulang terhadap anti-HCV (69,9%). Simpulan. Pelaksanaan profilaksis pasca pajanan terhadap HIV, hepatitis B, dan hepatitis C masih rendah, terutama pada evaluasi status serologis lanjutan. Oleh karena itu, penanganan profilaksis secara komprehensif penting dilakukan termasuk peningkatan pengetahuan dan kesadaran petugas kesehatan, peninjauan kembali standar operasional prosedur, dan komunikasi yang efektif.
