Acidente com material biológico no atendimento pré-hospitalar móvel: realidade para trabalhadores da saúde e não saúde

Resumo

Analytical transversal study that was conducted with the objectives of identifying the prevalence and characterizing the accidents with biological material among professionals in pre-hospital service (PHS) and comparing the risk behaviors adopted by healthcare and non-healthcare groups that can affect the occurrence and seriousness of such accidents. Data were obtained by questionnaire applied to all PHS workers in Goiânia-GO. The study revealed a high prevalence of accidents involving biological material which, although higher for the healthcare group, also affected the non-healthcare group. There were signifi cant (p < 0.05) risk behaviors for these accidents in both groups: not using gloves, masks or eye protectors; inappropriate disposal of sharps; inadequate dress; re-capping of needles; and a lack of immunization against hepatitis B. The results underscore the importance of both groups in adhering to preventive measures, and further point to the need to structure and implement vigilance and control system for this type of accident.
Estudio transversal analítico con objetivos de identifi car y caracterizar la prevalencia de accidentes con material biológico entre profesionales de la atención pre hospitalaria (APS) y comparar los comportamientos de riesgo adoptados entre los grupos salud y no-salud que pueden infl uir en la aparición y gravedad de estos accidentes. Los datos fueron recolectados con cuestionario aplicado a todos los trabajadores de la APS de Goiânia - GO. Hubo alta prevalencia de accidentes con material biológico que, aunque mayor en el grupo salud, también ocurrió en no-salud. Las conductas de riesgo, estadísticamente signifi cativas (p <0,05), para accidentes en ambos los grupos: sin uso de guantes, máscara y gafas de protección, descarte inadecuado de objetos punzocortantes, ropa incompleta, tapar agujas y no vacunación para hepatitis B. Los datos mostraron la importancia de ambos grupos adherir a las medidas preventivas y la necesidad de estructurar e implementar un sistema para monitorear y controlar este tipo de accidentes.
