PURPOSE: To determine the one-year incidence of needle stick and sharp injuries
(NSIs and SIs) and their associations with visual function among Iranian nurses.
METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 278 nurses working at one hospital were
selected through stratified random sampling. After applying the exclusion
criteria, the final analysis was performed on the data of 267 nurses. The data of
occupational injuries were collected through a researcher-administered
questionnaire. Visual function indices including distance and near best corrected
visual acuities (BCVAs), color vision, stereoacuity, distance and near
heterophorias, accommodative amplitude and facility, contrast sensitivity (CS)
for high and low spatial frequencies (SFs), near point of convergence (NPC),
saccadic and pursuit eye movements, distance and near convergence and divergence
fusional reserves and peripheral vision were evaluated through optometric
examinations using standard protocols. RESULTS: The one-year incidence of NSIs
and SIs was 41.2% [95% Confidence interval (CI): 35.3-47.1] and 19.1% (95%
CI: 14.4-23.8), respectively. Color vision deficiency, pursuit deficiency,
abnormal near heterophoria, and decreased CS for high SF had a significant
association with the increased incidence of NSIs with odds ratios of 3.26, 2.32,
and 1.35, respectively. Moreover, saccadic deficiency, abnormal near
heterophoria, and decreased near fusional divergence reserve were significantly
associated with the increased incidence of SIs with odds ratios of 2.42, 2.40,
and 1.27, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings showed a relatively high
incidence of NSIs and SIs in Iranian nurses and their associations with some
visual function indices. Therefore, pre-employment and periodic visual
examinations are recommended to detect and remove the corresponding visual risk
factors. Moreover, preventive strategies should be adopted to decrease the
occurrence of the aforementioned injuries.
