    Effectiveness of using needles with safety devices in the prevention of needlestick injuries among healthcare staff
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-12-03) Sánchez Reluz, Mary Jacqueline; Terrel Gutiérrez, Evelyn Erika; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa Maria
    Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of using needles with safety devices in the prevention of needlestick injuries among healthcare personnel. Materials and Methods: The study type of this work is qualitative, with a systematic review design, consulting the following databases: Epistemonikos, Scielo, Cochrane Plus, Elsevier, Pubmed, Medline, and EBSCO, with a publication age of no more than 10 years, in English. Results: In the present study, a total of 22 research articles were analyzed, with a sample of 10 articles. Of these, 20% were systematic reviews, randomized trials, and cohort studies, respectively; and 10% were meta-analyses, quasi-experimental studies, case-control studies, and descriptive studies, respectively. The countries represented include the USA, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, and France. Conclusions: 100% of the studies conclude that the use of needles with safety devices is effective in preventing needlestick injuries, as it reduces percutaneous injuries, decreases the incidence rate of needlestick accidents, and significantly reduces the transmission of bloodborne infections. Additionally, 30% of these studies indicate that training in the proper use of these devices improves their effectiveness in preventing accidents.
