Objetivo: Identificar, na formação da Enfermagem, como se expressa a segurança do paciente relacionada à infecção hospitalar na percepção de alunos graduandos. Método: Pesquisa descritiva, exploratória de abordagem qualitativa, com 42 discentes de enfermagem. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista, posteriormente processados e analisados pela Classificação Hierárquica Descendente e fundamentada no Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Resultados: Obteve-se quatro classes: Desafios no controle da infecção visando à segurança do paciente; Adesão às normas e procedimentos; A internação hospitalar como fator de risco à segurança do paciente; A formação profissional para o controle de infecção visando à segurança do paciente. Conclusão: A segurança do paciente está intimamente associada ao desenvolvimento de boas práticas de prevenção e controle da infecção. Uma assistência pautada na segurança do paciente necessita da articulação de fatores biopsicossociais e de gestão, que devem ser trabalhados desde a graduação.
The goal of the present study was to assess the viability of the cryopreserved ovine (Ovis aries) semen, upon supplementation with α-terpineol and rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis). The collection of the semen from six rams formed the pool, collected once a week during 7 weeks. The diluted semen was packed into straws (0.25 ml) and frozen in a TK 3000® device. Both α-terpineol and rosemary essential oil were added in the concentrations of 6.25, 12.5 and 25 μg/ml to the TRIS-yolk extender forming six experimental groups; the control group received only the TRIS-yolk extender. The samples were analyzed after thawing regarding motility and vigor, integrity of the plasmatic membrane, thermoresistance test (TT), mitochondrial membrane potential, acrosomal integrity and computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA). The levels of the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were also analyzed. According to the results obtained with the addition of the concentrations of 6.25, 12.5 and 25 μg/ ml of α-terpineol, significantly reduced the parameters assessed through CASA (VSL, LIN and WOB) and TT. Rosemary essential oil did not have deleterious effects on the spermatozoa and did not reduce the oxidative stress in the concentrations studied, although it presented absolute values higher than those of the control in several parameters. Alpha-terpineol in the concentrations studied was not able to reduce the oxidative stress and had toxic effect over the ovine spermatozoa.
Aim: to offer subsidies to broaden the discussion regarding the teaching of practices in the prevention and control of infection in the training of nurses. Material and Methods: an exploratory, descriptive, qualitative approach, based on the Collective Subject Discourse method. The participants were 42 nursing students from a Brazilian higher education institution. Data were processed and analyzed by the Descending Hierarchical Classification. Results: four classes of nursing care were obtained in the prevention and control of infection, the conceptual bases, responsibilities and the acquisition of knowledge for safe care. Conclusion: the training of human resources in nursing with the emphasis on infection prevention and control is challenging, especially due to the constant evolution of the theme. In this dynamic scenario, nursing education requires, among other aspects, to overcome conceptual weaknesses and misconceptions for the development of safe and harmless health care.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
