Needle-stick injuries are one of the most severe hazards faced by nurses today. The most physically and emotionally devastating type of injury is from a needle contaminated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but far more likely to occur is infection with other blood-borne pathogens, especially hepatitis B. The daily threat of needle-stick injuries adds yet another dimension of concern to the stresses inherent in working in a health care facility. Health care workers at greatest risk are those who manipulate needles and draw blood samples on a regular basis. With this concern in mind, a study was launched to evaluate a needle-free I.V. access system with respect to the following research objectives: 1) to assess the prevention/reduction of needle-stick risks and injuries; 2) to identify associated reduction in expenses; 3) to implement product and ease of use; and 4) to assess nursing satisfaction levels. This article describes the methodology used and the results of the study.
针刺伤是当今护士面临的最严重危害之一。身体和情感上最具破坏性的伤害类型是被人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）污染的针头造成的，但更有可能发生的是感染其他血源性病原体，尤其是乙型肝炎。针刺伤的日常威胁给在医疗机构工作所固有的压力又增添了一个令人担忧的层面。面临最大风险的医护人员是那些经常操作针头和采集血样的人员。出于这种担忧，开展了一项研究，以评估一种无针静脉输液接入系统，其研究目标如下：1）评估预防/减少针刺风险和伤害；2）确定相关的费用降低情况；3）评估产品及其易用性；4）评估护士的满意度。本文描述了所使用的方法和研究结果。
