Objective: To compare the operation status and occupational exposure to needle stick injuries level of nursing staff before and after the promotion of nursing standard prevention operation procedure (SOP), and to explore the practicability and effectiveness of nursing SOP. Methods: Before and after the promotion of nursing SOPs at Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center of Sun Yat-sen University, 14 responsible nurses were assessed for operation,and the number of infectious diseases and occupational exposures to needle stick injuries before and after the promotion of nursing SOPs were compared. Results: The average scores of operation and evaluation before and after the implementation of nursing SOP were 82.31 points and 88.23 points, with significant statistical difference(P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in the results of the initial senior responsible nurses. The total number of patients with blood infectious diseases before and after the implementation of nursing SOP was 32 cases and 51 cases. The occupational exposure to needle stick injuries events were 4 cases and 0 and the difference was statistically significant (χ2
=6.698, P=0.020). Conclusion: The promotion of standard preventive procedures can enable caregivers to strengthen self-protection, reduce occupational exposure, and effectively reduce the rate of iatrogenic infection.
