Ensuring adequate knowledge and proper post-exposure protocols is vital for improving safety and post-exposure management. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge, previous exposure experience, and reporting practices regarding occupational exposure incidents among nursing students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Split, Croatia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 274 nursing students using a structured self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistical methods were applied, along with univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses. Results: Exposure incidents were experienced by 36.3% of students, with needlestick injuries being the most common (80.1%). In terms of reporting practices, fewer than half (40.8%) of those affected officially reported the incident. While students demonstrated adequate overall performance on the knowledge assessment (median score 12, IQR: 11\u201314), significant gaps were identified in hepatitis B and C protocols and immediate wound care. Multivariate analysis identified full-time student status (\u03b2 = 1.24; p = 0.010) and first-year students (\u03b2 = 0.82; p = 0.036) as factors significantly associated with higher knowledge scores. Conclusions: Although nursing students possess solid fundamental knowledge of exposure-related risks, a significant gap remains in their practical application and incident reporting. The high incidence of needlestick injuries (80.1%) underscores the importance of moving beyond theory toward enhanced clinical supervision. To address these gaps, nursing education should prioritize targeted practical training and cultivate a robust safety culture that encourages incident reporting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nursrep16050166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,14]],"date-time":"2026-05-14T13:04:09Z","timestamp":1778763849000},"page":"166","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Occupational Exposure Incidents Among Nursing Students: Knowledge, Experience, and Reporting Practices\u2014A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Mario","family":"Marendi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3725-3728","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ajka","family":"Pribisali\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivana","family":"Bokan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"},{"name":"Health School Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivana","family":"Par\u010dina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"},{"name":"University Hospital Center Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Silvija","family":"Vladislavi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Podrug","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ante","family":"Buljuba\u0161i\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1430-7041","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anamarija","family":"Jur\u010dev Savi\u010devi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"},{"name":"Department of Public Health, University of Split School of Medicine, 21000 Split, Croatia"},{"name":"Teaching Institute of Public Health of Split-Dalmatia County, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5732046","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/5732046","article-title":"Global Occupational Exposure to Blood and Body Fluids among Healthcare Workers: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis","volume":"2022","author":"Mengistu","year":"2022","journal-title":"Can.
