“…While the prevalence is low in Australia [1] the emotional burden on health professionalsfollowingan incident is high and may require absence from duty and interruption to the person's life-style until their safety is ensured [1]. It is also known that needlestick injuries are under-reported, especially from practitioners outside the public hospital setting [2][3][4], with administration and re-capping needles found to be the most common causes [3].…”

This systematised review was undertaken to appraise research on the effects of training and the use of needle-safety devices (NSDs) on the prevention of needlestick injuries (NSIs) among health workers, focusing on a European perspective. A literature search from 2007 to 2017 was performed, which identified six studies that investigated the introduction of training and NSDs and their affect on NSIs. The six chosen studies identified that training, as well as the adoption of NSDs, has an impact on preventing NSIs. However, further information is required on the content and mode of delivery of training and on which types of NSDs are most effective at preventing injuries. This will help healthcare workers to understand and implement the most effective strategies to prevent injuries. This article provides a critique of the research approaches used in the six studies.
