—Odds Ratios (ORs) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) Estimating the Effects of Various Organizational Characteristics on the Odds of Nurse Reports of Different Needlestick Risk Factors on Hospital Units

	Low Nurse Staffing OR (95% CI)	Low Resource Adequacy OR (95% CI)	Low Nurse Manager Leadership OR (95% CI)	High Emotional Exhaustion OR (95% CI)
Significant risk due to staff carelessness	1.92 (1.31, 2.82)	1.88 (1.25, 2.83)	1.65 (1.05, 2.58)	2.16 (1.33, 3.50)
Significant risk due to staff inexperience	1.74 (1.04, 2.92)	2.18 (1.47, 3.24)	1.80 (1.11, 2.93)	2.06 (1.31, 3.23)
Significant risk due to patient uncooperativeness	2.11 (1.32, 3.38)	2.13 (1.34, 3.40)	1.71 (1.06, 2.76)	1.32 (0.74, 2.35)
Often recaps needles used on patients with unknown HIV status	2.40 (1.29, 4.46)	3.30 (2.08, 5.23)	2.16 (1.22, 3.16)	1.78 (0.87, 3.62)
Feels hospital has not done a good job providing knowledge to protect workers	2.76 (1.72, 4.42)	2.44 (1.48, 4.00)	1.54 (0.88, 2.71)	1.94 (1.15, 3.27)
Feels hospital has not done a good job providing supplies to protect workers	3.56 (2.18, 5.81)	2.94 (1.64, 5.17)	1.86 (1.07, 3.26)	1.86 (1.02, 3.37)

Note. Odds ratios were computed with generalized estimating equations to allow for clustering by hospital unit.
