The purpose of this study is to investigate the reality of dental hygienists' needle stick injury and to publicize the danger of needle stick injury and emphasize the importance of safe treatment environment. Questionnaire survey was conducted on 150 applicants among 406 dental hygienists registered in Jeju branch of Korea Dental Hygienists' Association from July 1, 2013 to July 31 same year and data from a total of 114 respondents were collected. Frequency analysis and crosstabs analysis were conducted on the collected data using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Science) WIN 18.0 and the results of the study are as follows. 1. 75 respondents (65.8%) replied that they have experienced needle stick injury in recent 1 year and 61 respondents (81.3%) were injured after the treatment. Most frequent specific circumstance of needle stick injury took place in 54 respondents (55.7%) when putting on the cap of anesthetic needle stick after use. 2. As for needle stick injury based on the characteristics of study subjects, 28 respondents injured (37.3%) were in the age group of 25~29, 66 respondents injured (88.0%) were those with associate degree, 63 respondents (84.0%) were injured in the treatment room, 30 respondents (40.0%) were working with 1~2 other dental hygienists and 50 respondents (66.7%) were working in a dental clinic with only one dentist. 3. Among those who had experience of needle stick injury, 61 respondents (81.3%) were without needle stick injury prevention education, 46 respondents (61.3%) had vaccination on hepatitis B and 37 respondents (49.3%) who always wear protective gear had injury even with precautionary measures. 4. Among those with one-time needle stick injury, 16 respondents (20.5%) discarded needle stick after putting the cap on and among those with two-time needle stick injury, 17 respondents (21.8%) discarded needle stick after putting the cap on, showing that needle stick injury takes place even when the needle sticks are discarded after putting the cap on. As needle stick injury takes place less when the needle is eliminated than when needle stick is discarded with or without cap on, elimination of needle is deemed to be one way to reduce needle stick injury. 5. When injured with needle stick, 46.1% of those injured wipe their injury with alcohol cotton as the first aid and 40.4% disinfected injury with Betadine. At the time of injury, 79 respondents (69.3%) checked medical history of the patients and 101 respondents (88.6%) were most worried about the risk of getting infectious disease, demonstrating that injured dental hygienists are seriously worried about infectious disease due to needle stick injury.
