TABLE 2.
Retrospectively Reported Needlesticks OR (95% CI) | Prospectively Reported Needlesticks OR (95% CI) | Prospectively Reported Near Misses OR (95% CI) | |
Low nurse staffing | 3.03 (1.22, 7.51) | 2.06 (1.00, 4.25) | 1.95 (1.02, 3.73) |
Low resource adequacy | 2.69 (1.08, 6.70) | 1.73 (0.82, 3.66) | 2.04 (1.08, 3.88) |
Low nurse manager leadership | 2.84 (1.14, 7.08) | 1.56 (0.70, 3.49) | 1.89 (1.06, 3.40) |
High emotional exhaustion | 2.54 (0.90, 7.26) | 2.08 (1.03, 4.19) | 1.57 (0.80, 3.10) |
Note. Odds ratios were computed with generalized estimating equations to allow for clustering by hospital unit. Estimates involving prospectively reported needlesticks and near misses were computed after controlling for the number of shifts worked (time at risk).
