This study was aimed to investigate the effect of emotional intelligence and some personality traits on safe behavior and needle stick injuries among the nurses. This cross-sectional study was performed on 200 nursing staff of a hospital in Iran. To collect data, individuals were asked to complete several questionnaires, including demographic questionnaire, domain-specific risk-taking questionnaire, Rosenberg self-confidence questionnaire, Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire, Goleman emotional intelligence questionnaire, and safe behavior questionnaire. Also, the number of needlestick injuries in the participants was extracted from their medical records. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software (version 22), and path analysis was performed using AMOS software. The prevalence of needle stick injuries in the subjects was estimated by 45.5 percent. The results showed that increasing risk-taking, increasing aggression, decreasing self-confidence, and decreasing emotional intelligence reduced safe behavior and increased the number of needle injuries (P < 0.001). In the present study, some personal traits affecting the occurrence of needlestick injuries were identified. It is recommended that people without these negative traits are applied in dangerous occupations with a high probability of needle stick injuries.
本研究旨在调查情商和一些人格特质对护士安全行为及针刺伤的影响。这项横断面研究在伊朗一家医院的200名护理人员中开展。为收集数据，要求研究对象填写几份问卷，包括人口统计学问卷、特定领域冒险问卷、罗森伯格自信问卷、布斯-佩里攻击性问卷、戈尔曼情商量表和安全行为问卷。此外，从参与者的病历中提取针刺伤的数量。使用SPSS软件（版本22）对数据进行分析，并使用AMOS软件进行路径分析。研究对象中针刺伤的发生率估计为45.5%。结果显示，冒险行为增加、攻击性增强、自信心降低以及情商降低会减少安全行为，并增加针刺伤的数量（P<0.001）。在本研究中，确定了一些影响针刺伤发生的个人特质。建议避免将具有这些负面特质的人员安排到针刺伤可能性高的危险职业中。
