A total of 117 (29%) study participants were su ciently educated regarding NSI practices (p<0.001). Among the HCPs, 64.9% had never read the institutional guidelines regarding NSIs. A total of 253 (62.7%) HCPs had sustained a needle stick injury at least once in the last one year; 75% of them were previously immunized with hepatitis B vaccination. e level of awareness among HCPs at tertiary health care level at Karachi is not satisfactory.
