Needle stick injuries are most common among health care professionals because they are always using the sharp instruments and needle for patient care. Needle stick injury is the penetration of skin by hypodermic needle or sharp objects that has been contact with blood or body tissue.

In India, around 3–6 billion injections are given per year, in which two-thirds of injections are unsafe (62.9%) and the use of glass syringes are constantly associated with a higher degree of unsafeness. Worldwide, about 3 million of HCWs were exposed to bloodborne pathogens through Percutaneous injury, in which two million were exposed to HBV, 0.9 million were exposed to HCV, and 170,000 were exposed to HIV of which more than 90% occurred in developing countries. Awareness and prevention of NSI is an integral part of prevention programme in the work place and training of HCWs regarding safety practices. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY: -To assess the knowledge regarding NSI and its safety measures among health care professionals. To administer the clinical teaching programme on NSI and its safety measures among health care professionals. To assess the effectiveness of clinical teaching programme on knowledge regarding NSI and its safety measures among health care professionals.

D=2.14) in post-test (margin of error = 15.55±0.5414 at 95% confidence internal). The ‘t’ test computed between the pre-test and post-test knowledge of health care professionals (t=20.9300) was highly significant at 1% level.
