dc.description.abstractNurses are essential healthcare workers for the delivery of quality care. Therefore, these professionals must feel secure in the workplace. However, nursing is among the professions that suffer the most from workplace accidents. The most common occurrences involve sharps injuries. The objectives of this review were to explore and discuss aspects related to sharps injuries among nurses based on information available in the literature. This is an integrative review. The search for original articles of primary research was conducted in the first week of January 2024, in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database. The review was framed around the following question: “What is the literature’s perspective on sharps injuries among nurses?” A total of 12 articles were found, of which seven were included. The selected articles were evaluated using the critical appraisal tool for cross-sectional analytical studies from the Joanna Briggs Institute. It was identified that the occurrence of sharps injuries among nurses is correlated with both organizational characteristics and specific individual factors of the nurses, such as scarcity of material and personnel resources, lack of knowledge and training, stress, and emotional exhaustion. The most common accidents involve needles, ampoules, and catheters. Effective measures to prevent sharps injuries among nurses should be taken. The implementation of efficient notification systems where nurses can report accidents is a measure that should be developed and properly monitored in healthcare institutions. It is understood, therefore, that nurse managers and healthcare administrators play fundamental roles in the development of better working conditions, with an emphasis on creating safe environments and implementing continuing education programs that enable nurses to learn and update information on prevention measures and safe use of materials and equipment.en_US
