“…Another study including technical and auxiliary nurses from the Emergency Service of Hospital Getúlio Vargas in Teresina-Piauí found that organizational and functional structure are points that suggest social representation of work conditions that seem to determine non-adherence of nursing professionals to technical and routines stated by prevention of hospital infections. That study also revealed that although many health care professionals recognize the technical and scientific characteristics of nosocomial infections, they often do not adopt measures of prevention and control (13) . A different result was presented by a study including nurses from an internal medicine unit in Minas Gerais.…”

“…Nesse sentido, autores defendem que a IH está associada à contaminação, em especial de materiais e equipamentos hospitalares, portanto estes meios devem ser valorizados como determinantes das infecções hospitalares em detrimento de medidas fundamentais de controle e prevenção, como a lavagem das mãos e uso de equipamentos de proteção individual (23) . Por outro lado, autores expõem que para prevenir a IH os profissionais e estudantes da área da saúde valorizam a paramentação adequada do executor do procedimento, além de ressaltar a importância do cuidado com as mãos (18) .…”

“…Prova disso são os muitos casos de omissões, assim como a ocorrência de imperícia, negligência, ou imprudência, pela representação político-social das infecções hospitalares e de seu controle (10,21) . O profissional enfermeiro é visto como o principal responsável pelo papel educativo de toda a equipe de saúde, considerando o melhor vínculo com a equipe, assim como sua supervisão contínua, tendo como funções planejar, implementar e participar dos programas de formação, qualificação contínua e promoção da saúde dos trabalhadores (13,(23)(24) . Para que as medidas preventivas sejam tomadas também é necessário que os gestores das instituições estejam cientes da problemática, uma vez que eles não prestam um cuidado direto ao paciente, porém fornecem subsídios para a prática acontecer e são responsáveis também pela realização de um bom trabalho no ambiente hospitalar, prevenindo e controlando as infecções de forma indireta (16,22) .…”
