Abstract
As needle stick injury is the penetrating wound in the skin by a hypodermic needle or other sharp objects that has been in contact with the blood tissue or other body fluids before the exposure. The acute physiological effects of needle stick injury are generally negligible, these injuries can lead to transmission of blood borne disease, placing those exposed at increased risk of infection from disease causing pathogens such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Human Immunodeficiency Virus among healthcare workers, laboratory personnel’s and nursing students worldwide. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of knowledge of needle stick injury among nursing students and to find an association between the levels of knowledge on needle sticks injury among nursing students with selected demographic variables. A quantitative research approach was used for the study. The sample size was 100 nursing students of selected nursing college were selected by using purposive sampling.

The study reported that there is a significant association with the year of study of nursing students. There is no association with age of nursing students, gender of nursing, source of information. Study concludes that the sample population has average knowledge about needle stick injury.
