Objective: Evaluate and correlate individual, work-related and organizational factors that influence adherence to standard precautions among nursing professionals of psychiatric hospitals in São Paulo. Method: An exploratory cross-sectional study conducted with 35 nursing professionals, using the assessment tool for adherence to standard precautions through the Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 5. Results: Knowledge of the precautions received a high score (4.69); adherence received (3.86) and obstacles (3.78), while intermediaries and the scales of organizational factors received low scores (2.61). There was a strong correlation between the magnitude adherence scale and the personal protective equipment availability (r = 0.643; p = 0.000). The training scale for prevention of HIV exposure (p = 0.007) was statistically different between the nurses and nursing assistants. Conclusion: The organizational factors negatively contributed to adherence to standard precautions, indicating that psychiatric institutions lack safe working conditions, ongoing training and management actions to control infections.

“…Thus, the need for research to enable knowledge expansion is being created, and should therefore be tied to the field of practice (15) . The paths that lead workers to expose themselves to risks/hazards are accounted for by a set of situations such as communication, interpersonal relationships, lack of awareness of risks/hazards, and above all behavior (16) . Thus, nursing workers coming into contact with different and diverse etiological agents is frequent.…”

“…However, the professional's resistance to using it, or even its incorrect use, are barriers to preventing exposure (16) . It is paramount that the worker assumes the responsibility of their safety as a necessity, and appropriates knowledge about their work process, as well as those that have potential to occur when safety standards and standard protective measures are not considered.…”

Objective:To socialize an educational action through the process of group discussion and reflection, with the aim to increase the care of nursing workers in facing occupational risks. Method: A qualitative descriptive study using the Convergent Care Research modality with nursing staff working in an emergency department of a hospital in the northwest region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data collection was carried out through educational workshops and information was processed using content analysis, resulting in two thematic categories: A look at the knowledge and practices about occupational risks in nursing; and adherence to protective measures by the nursing team against occupational risks. Results: Twenty-four (24) workers participated in the study. When challenged to critically look at their actions, the subjects found that they relate the use of safety devices to situations in which they are aware of the patient's serological status. Conclusion: Subjects' interaction, involvement and co-responsibility in the health education process were determinant for their reflection on risky practices. They also had the potential to modify unsafe behaviors.

“…Soma-se a isso o fato de se estar em um país tropical, com temperaturas altas em condições ambientais. Dados de estudo apontaram o calor e o incômodo como fatores que dificultam o uso da máscara e do avental (18) . Um fator que pode conferir maior segurança aos profissionais que atuam nos domicílios é a utilização de dispositivos de segurança (lancetas, agulhas retráteis, entre outros) como recomendados pela NR-32 (4) .…”

RESUMO: Trata-se de um estudo transversal conduzido num Serviço de Atenção Domiciliar do interior paulista. Teve como objetivos identificar o uso de Equipamento de Proteção Individual, dispositivos de segurança, descarte de materiais perfurocortantes e fatores que dificultam e/ou facilitam o seu uso por profissionais da equipe de enfermagem. A população foi composta por 45 participantes e todos relataram usar Equipamento de Proteção Individual, sendo que 100% referiram usar luvas e os procedimentos frequentes para o uso foram curativos e administração de medicamentos. Apesar de relatarem que não há dificuldade para utilizar os Equipamentos de Proteção Individual e que se preocupam com sua própria segurança, observou-se que a adesão não foi integral. Assim, são necessários estudos futuros capazes de avaliar como ocorre de fato a assistência à saúde dos usuários nos domicílios, para que estratégias de prevenção possam ser identificadas e incorporadas à prática desses profissionais. DESCRITORES: Equipe de enfermagem; Equipamento de proteção individual; Exposição à agentes biológicos; Serviços de assistência domiciliar. USO DE EQUIPAMENTO DE PROTEÇÃO INDIVIDUAL EM UM SERVIÇO DE ATENÇÃO DOMICILIAR USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN A HOME CARE SERVICEABSTRACT: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a home care service in the state of São Paulo. The objective of the study was to identify the use of personal protective equipment, safety devices, the disposal of sharp objects, and other factors that make difficult and/or facilitate such use by professionals of the nursing team. The population was made up of 45 participants who reported using personal protective equipment. They all reported using gloves, frequent procedures that required their use were dressings and administration of medications. Although it was reported that the participants did not have difficulty in using personal protective equipment, and that they were concerned about their own safety, full adherence was lacking. Therefore, further studies that are able to evaluate how home care services really occur are necessary, so that prevention strategies can be identified and incorporated into professionals' practice.
