Objetivou-se caracterizar os acidentes de trabalho com material biológico em trabalhadores de serviços de saúde. Estudo retrospectivo, quantitativo, realizado em um hospital secundário referência para o atendimento de acidentes com material biológico, localizado no norte do Paraná. Os dados foram coletados de dezembro de 2013 a junho de 2014, em 1.061 prontuários de trabalhadores da saúde e nas fichas de registro no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação, analisados por meio de estatística descritiva. Dentre os 1.061 acidentes de trabalho com material biológico, 58,1% ocorreram com auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem, dos quais 82,7% eram do sexo feminino. O principal material orgânico presente em 86,1% dos acidentes foi o sangue, 88,2% ocorreram por meio de exposição percutânea, 66,1% envolveram a utilização de agulhas com lúmen e 21,9% foram decorrentes do descarte inadequado de material perfurocortante. Faz-se necessário implementar medidas preventivas, direcionadas à equipe de enfermagem.
Objective: To analyze the scientific evidence in the literature on microorganisms that colonize in healthcare workers and the association with antimicrobial resistance. Methods: Integrative review.
To assess the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms in health professionals in the COVID-19 pandemic context. Method: Cross-sectional study with non-probabilistic (snow-ball) sampling method. The assessment was performed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the prevalence of symptoms severity was calculated by point and 95% confidence interval. The analysis of the psychometric properties of DASS-21 was performed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the following goodness of fit indices: χ2/df (chi-square ratio by degrees of freedom), Tucker–Lewis index (TLI), comparative fit index (CFI) and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) with a 90% confidence interval. Results: The study participants were 529 health professionals (82.4% women and 66.7% nursing professionals). CFA of the DASS-21 structural model presented adequate fit for the sample (χ2/df = 3.530; CFI = 0.979; TLI = 0.976; RMSEA = 0.069). Regarding prevalence, moderate to extremely severe symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress were found in 48.6%, 55.0% and 47.9% of the participants, respectively. Conclusion: The use of DASS-21 confirmed the validity and reliability of the data. The prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms in the participants indicated a high risk of mental illness in health professionals in the COVID-19 pandemic.
