To investigate the interactions between safety climate, psychosocial issues and Needlestick and Sharps Injuries (NSI), a cross-sectional study was undertaken among nurses at a university teaching hospital in Japan (89% response rate). NSI were correlated with various aspects of hospital safety climate including supporting one another at work, the protection of staff against blood-borne diseases being a high management priority, managers doing their part to protect staff from blood-borne disease, having unsafe work practices corrected by supervisors, having the opportunity to use safety equipment to protect against blood-borne disease exposures, having an uncluttered work area, and having minimal conflict within their department. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated the importance of hospital safety climate in Japanese health care practice, particularly its relationship with NSI. Although the provision of safer devices remains critical in preventing injuries, ensuring a positive safety climate will also be essential in meeting these important challenges for nurses' occupational health.
为了探究安全氛围、心理社会问题与针刺和锐器伤（needlestick and sharps injuries，NSI）之间的相互作用，在日本一所教学医院对护士进行了一项横断面研究（应答率为 89%）。NSI 与医院安全氛围的各个方面相关，包括在工作中相互支持、将保护员工免受血源性疾病感染作为管理层的高度优先事项、管理层尽自己的一份力量保护员工免受血源性疾病感染、由主管纠正不安全的工作做法、有机会使用安全设备来防止血源性疾病暴露、工作区域整洁、部门内部冲突最小化。总之，本研究表明安全氛围在日本医疗保健实践中的重要性，尤其是它与 NSI 的关系。尽管提供更安全的设备仍然是预防伤害的关键，但确保积极的安全氛围对于应对护士职业健康的这些重要挑战也至关重要。
