Abstract	This hospital-based prospective interventional qualitative study examined the effect of care bundle implementation on needle stick injuries (NSIs) among 500 healthcare workers (HCWs). The inclusion criterion encompassed sharp injuries sustained during working hours, while injuries outside the hospital were excluded. Conducted in two phases, the study included pre-intervention and post-intervention periods of 6 months each. Interventions comprised classroom presentations, pre/post-lecture assessments, onsite training, and care bundle implementation. Results showed a 50% reduction in NSIs (120 to 60 cases, p=0.0001) and a halving of incidence rates (2.4 to 1.2 per 100 HCWs/month). Additionally, reporting rates improved from 70% to 90%. The findings underscore the efficacy of care bundle interventions in enhancing occupational safety, reducing NSIs, and promoting better reporting practices, thereby mitigating bloodborne pathogen risks among HCWs.
