Abstract
Undergraduate students from the health area often handle piercing-cutting instruments in their academic activities, which exposes them to the risk of contracting infections. This study aimed to analyze accidents with biological material among these students. Out of 170 accidents registered, 83 (48.8%) occurred with Dentistry students, 69 (40.6%) with Medical students, 11 (6.5%) with Nursing students and in 06 (3.5%) of the cases there was no such information in the files. Most accidents, 106 (62.4%), occurred with students from private schools and 55 (32.3%) with those from public schools. Percutaneous accidents occurred in 133 (78.2%) exposures and there was immediate search for specialized health care in only 38 (21.3%) accidents. In 127 (74.7%) accidents, the immunization schedule against hepatitis B was complete. Therefore, schools need to offer courses and specific class subjects regarding biosafety measures, including aspects related to immunization, especially the vaccine against hepatitis B.
La manipulación de instrumentos punzo cortantes por estudiantes del área de la salud es frecuente en la actividad académica, lo que los expone al riesgo de adquirir infecciones. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar los accidentes con material biológico ocurridos en alumnos del área de la salud. De los 170 accidentes registrados, 83 (48,8%) ocurrieron con alumnos del curso de Odontología, 69 (40,6%) de Medicina, 11 (6,5%) de Enfermería y en 06 (3,5%) no había información en la ficha de atención. La mayoría, 106 (62,4%), ocurrió con alumnos de escuelas privadas y 55 (32,3%) de públicas. Los accidentes percutáneos ocurrieron en 133 (78,2%) exposiciones y en 38 (21,3%) accidentes la búsqueda por atención especializada fue inmediata. En 127 (74,7%) accidentes el esquema de vacunas contra hepatitis B estaba completo. Así es imprescindible que las escuelas ofrezcan cursos y/o disciplinas específicas sobre medidas de bioseguridad incluyendo aspectos relacionados a campañas de vacunación y en especial la vacuna contra hepatitis B.
O manuseio de instrumentos perfurocortantes por estudantes da área da saúde é freqüente na atividade acadêmica, o que os expõe ao risco de adquirir infecção. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os acidentes com material biológico, ocorridos com alunos de graduação da área da saúde. Dos 170 acidentes registrados, 83 (48,8%) ocorreram com alunos do curso de odontologia, 69 (40,6%) de medicina, 11 (6,5%) de enfermagem e em 6 (3,5%) não havia a informação na ficha de atendimento. A maioria (106-62,4%) ocorreu com alunos de escolas privadas e 55(32,3%) de escolas públicas. Os acidentes percutâneos ocorreram em 133 (78,2%) exposições e em apenas 38 (21,3%) acidentes a procura pelo atendimento especializado foi imediata. Em 127 (74,7%) acidentes o esquema vacinal contra hepatite B estava completo. Assim, torna-se imprescindível que as escolas ofereçam cursos e/ou disciplinas específicas sobre medidas de biossegurança, incluindo aspectos relacionados à vacinação e em especial à vacina contra hepatite B.
