title: [Study and discussion around the management of sharps waste in the patient's home].
abstract: The message relating to the prevention of accidents resulting from exposure to blood is communicated less in home nursing care practice than in the hospital sector. A study carried out in 2010 examined to what extent the correct sharps waste disposal methods are respected in home nursing care. The results show that freelance nurses require better training.
