Introduction

Recapping of needles has turned out to behazardous over these years. Some studies in the

global setting support the fact that it leads toaccidental injuries to any healthcare nurse. Theseneedle stick injuries(NSIs) result into infection, thusputting anyone life at risk(Blackwell,et al,2007)

Considering these facts, we researcherstherefore attempt to explore further the experiencesof teh student nurses of Davao Doctors College onrecapping the needles and propose interventionscheme to address or alleviate this concern.

Knowledge of the BSN 4 participants onthe risk they may possibly exposed in

recapping of needles:FGD(focus groupdiscussion)

All 16 participants are

aware about the risk theycan acquire ,however pt16 emphasizes the pain ofthe needle prick injurythan the disease acquired

KII (key-informant-interview)

All 17 participants areaware of the risk thatthey may acquire(egHIV, hepa B and C;aids)

Follow the guide lines onwhat to do when

accidentally injuredAvoid washing handsafter procedure to preventmuscle spasmListen to ci during rd

Practice recappingseveral timesFocus and presence ofmind..

SummaryPurpose:

described how varied the experiences were BSN 4students in recapping of needles

envisioned to discover the extent of the knowledgeattitude and practices of these participants in the

recapping of needles

Research question:

How do the participants describe their experiencesin recapping of needles?

What do they know about the risk which they canacquire from their needle stick injuries?

what actions do they propose to address their

concerns on the risk?

Conclusion:We concluded that the difference of our

participants in experiences which were indicated intheir knowledge , attitudes and practices during andafter recapping procedure was ascribed to the kindof training which their clinical instructor provided foe

them in rd. However most of them confessed thattheir CIs had not taught them of the proper steps oraction to do when an incident of needles injuryoccurred .Some would not like to report about the

injuryBoth from the KII and FGD had some ideas on

how to address the problem incurred from recappingprocedure

Recommendation:

To college of nursing administration:

To clinical instructor :

Provide students with adequate knowledge of theprevalence of risk to caution them to perform recappingof needles

Must educate in mind of the students the urgency ofreporting the injury when injured

To student nurses:

must seek assistance from CIs whenever they aredoubtful in performing recapping
