This study has the purpose to identify methodological approaches used in research articles published in the last 16 years by periodicals indexed to the Lilacs and Medline databases. Its authors searched for studies on occupational accidents involving needlestick materials in order to identify the facts that predispose this kind of accident among nursing workers. Fifty-five articles were analyzed, of which thirty-nine were international and sixteen were national. The most frequently used methodological approaches were field description, action research and bibliographic research. Among the factors that predispose this kind of accident in various countries, the inadequate practice of recapping needles and inadequate material disposal can be distinguished.Downloads

RLAE’s authorship concept is based on the substantial contribution by each of the individuals listed as authors, mainly in terms of conceiving and planning the research project, collecting or analyzing and interpreting data, writing and critical review. Indication of authors’ names under the article title is limited to six. If more, authors are listed on the online submission form under Acknowledgements. The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
