Needle-stick injuries (NSI) pose a significant occupational hazard for nurses worldwide. With appropriate knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP), the occurrence of NSI can be minimized. This study aimed to assess the KAP of Malaysian public hospital nurses towards NSI. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 208 nurses who completed self-administered questionnaires measuring NSI KAP. Results showed that most nurses had good knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards NSI. The study recommends NSI education, including handwashing, post-prophylaxis, and safe work practices, to increase KAP and reduce NSI incidence among Malaysian public hospital nurses.
