Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multivariable logistic regression (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The prevalence of NSIs was 28.6% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009114). Blood drawing (38.5%) and needle recapping (30.7%) were the most common causes. Most students reported incidents (83.3%), although fear of blame and lack of procedural knowledge persisted. In the multivariable analysis, higher perceived stress when handling sharps was significantly associated with increased odds of NSIs (aOR\u2009=\u20092.13; 95% CI: 1.35\u20133.37). Academic year, glove use, recapping behavior, and equipment availability were not significantly associated with NSIs.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>NSIs are relatively common among nursing students in this setting. The findings suggest that perceived stress is associated with NSI occurrence; however, due to the cross\u2010sectional design, causal inferences cannot be made. Further longitudinal research is needed to understand causal pathways, explore additional contributing factors, and inform effective prevention strategies.<\/jats:p>\n
