Abstract Background: For healthcare professionals, especially nursing students undergoing clinical training, needle stick injuries (NSIs) represent a serious occupational risk. The danger of contracting blood-borne illnesses is increased by ignorance and poor preventive measures. Developing a safety-oriented mindset and improving awareness may be facilitated by structured educational programs. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was opted in this study. A self-structured knowledge questionnaire and an attitude scale created and approved by specialists were used to gather data. The definition, causes, hazards, precautions, and post-exposure protocols for management of Needle stick injury (NSI) all were included in the Structured Teaching Program (STP). To assess the effectiveness of the intervention, paired t-tests were used to statistically examine pre- and post-intervention ratings. Results: The study revealed a significant improvement in both knowledge and attitude scores following the intervention. The mean pretest knowledge score was 17.65 with a standard deviation (S.D.) of 2.747 after intervention score significantly increased to 34.92, with a standard deviation of ±2.78, Where the mean pretest attitude score was 7.65 with a standard deviation (S.D.) of ±2.14 , following the interventions post-test attitude score significantly increased to 11.17, with a standard deviation of ±1.43.The mean post-test knowledge and attitude scores were substantially higher compared to pre-test scores (p < 0.001). This indicates that the STP had a positive impact on students' understanding and perception of NSI prevention and management. Conclusion: The structured teaching program was effective in enhancing the knowledge and improving the attitude of nursing students regarding needle stick injuries. The planned training program was successful in raising nursing students' awareness of needle stick injuries and improving their attitudes toward them. These instructional techniques need to be incorporated into curriculum for nurses in order to guarantee safety procedures and lower threats to occupational health during clinical exposure.
