Introdução: Os serviços de saúde têm grande preocupação com qualidade de assistência, segurança do paciente e redução da incidência das infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde, as quais são consideradas eventos adversos e influenciam o aumento da morbimortalidade. A disseminação do uso de celulares é generalizada, e eles têm se tornado ferramentas de trabalho para profissionais de saúde. Por terem uma superfície de contato direto entre as mãos e outros objetos, tornam-se importante fonte de microrganismos dentro dos ambientes hospitalares. Objetivo: Realizar busca de publicações existentes que relacionam o uso de celulares com as infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde dentro do ambiente hospitalar. Método: Revisão integrativa, com busca em cinco bases de dados, realizada no período entre março e abril de 2021. Resultados: Foram incluídos 17 artigos, publicados na língua inglesa em periódicos internacionais, entre 2016 e 2021. Conclusão: Identificou-se em todos os artigos a ocorrência de contaminação dos celulares. Evidenciou-se também que a descontaminação frequente dos celulares e a higiene das mãos são indicadas para reduzir o risco de infecção.

“…The mere presence of mobile phones can already be sufficient to pose a threat to patient care. Besides the increased risk of nosocomial infections due to possible contamination of nurses' mobile phones with viruses (Pillet et al, 2016) or bacteria (Brady et al, 2011;Volkoff, McCumber, Anderson, & Gunsch, 2019), the presence of these devices may also come at a cognitive cost (Johannes, Veling, Verwijmeren, & Buijzen, 2019;Stothart, Mitchum, & Yehnert, 2015;Ward et al, 2017). Ward et al (2017)…”

Aim To examine whether the presence of a mobile phone has a moderating role in the relationship between nurses’ private life telepressure and workplace cognitive failure. Design Cross‐sectional quantitative study using self‐report questionnaires. Methods Data were collected between December 2019 – January 2020. In total, 849 Registered Nurses from three Belgian hospitals completed the online survey. Data were analysed with hierarchical regression analyses and simple slope tests. Results Overall, the positive relationship between private life telepressure and workplace cognitive failure was moderated by mobile phone presence. Specifically, the experience of private life telepressure did only relate to higher workplace cognitive failure when nurses kept their mobile phone nearby (i.e. in their pockets). Additional exploratory analyses revealed that this moderation effect only held among nurses in young adulthood and regardless of the notification settings of their mobile phone. Conclusions The present findings indicate the unintended risk of mobile phone presence at work as it relates to higher workplace cognitive failure in nurses who experience private life telepressure. Ensuring there are clear organizational policies and practises in place to store away personal belongings of healthcare personnel during work hours would therefore seem beneficial for hospitals. Impact Considering the increased presence of mobile phones nowadays, a more detailed understanding is necessary on how these devices might distract personnel in a healthcare setting. The present study gives further insight into this topic and shows that in particular nurses in young adulthood who experience telepressure towards personal messages report more cognitive failure when their personal mobile phones are present, even when they do not actually use these devices. This furnishes additional evidence in support of hospitals' formal policy to forbid personal mobile phones of healthcare personnel when at work.
