“…Health workers need to follow this recommendation, as the vaccine has been proven safe (3) and the most effective way to prevent infection by HBV (7)(8) . Besides vaccination, adherence to standard precaution measures and caution by workers are fundamental to avoid HBV transmission in health services, not only with a view to their own, but also their patients and relatives' protection (5) .…”

“…Scheneider (1990) e Yoshida (1998) sugerem, em estudos realizados na década passada, a vacinação de todos os estudantes da área da saúde ao ingressarem em cursos técnicos e de graduação no Brasil. Apesar disso, verifica-se que o problema persiste e é preocupante, visto que é observado em diferentes regiões e instituições pesquisadas em todo o mundo, sinalizando a necessidade de estratégias para que se consiga cobertura vacinal próxi-ma de 100% dos profissionais da saúde (GIR et al, 2008;HATIPOGLU et al, 2007).…”

RESUMO OBJETIVO: analisar o estado vacinal e o conhecimento prévio sobre o vírus da hepatite B pelos profissionais de saúde (PS) de um hospital público. MÉTODOS: estudo descritivo de corte transversal, baseado no preenchimento do formulário pelos PS, contemplando: biomédicos, odontólogos, enfermeiros, fisioterapeutas, médicos, técnicos e auxiliares de enfermagem e de laboratório. Para analisar idade, categoria profissional, estado vacinal e conhecimento destes profissionais sobre hepatite B, utilizou-se o teste de qui-quadrado, considerando significante p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: durante quatro meses de 2007, foram questionados 861 profissionais no principal hospital de urgência da rede pública de Sergipe. Houve uma relação estatisticamente significante entre grau de escolaridade e conhecimento acerca da hepatite B pelos PS. Quanto ao estado vacinal dos participantes, constatou-se que 67% declararam estar completamente imunizados, enquanto 21,6% apresentavam-se incompletamente vacinados, 6,2% desconheciam seu estado vacinal e 5,2% não eram vacinados. Entre os de nível superior, 75,3% estavam completamente imunizados, comparados a 64,5% do nível técnico. CONCLUSÃO: os PS com nível superior mostraram mais conhecimento sobre o tema em detrimento dos profissionais com nível técnico, razão que deveria motivar os gestores da saúde a implantar programas de educação continuada, além de desenvolver pesquisas neste âmbito.

A qualitative study conducted in a teaching hospital with 15 nursing professionals. Attempted to analyze the reasons, attitudes and beliefs of nursing staff regarding adherence to personal protective equipment. Data were collected through focus groups, analyzed by the method of interpretation of meanings, considering Rosenstock’s model of health beliefs as a reference framework. Data revealed two themes: Occupational safety and Interpersonal Relationship. We identified several barriers that interfere in matters of safety and personal protective equipment, such as communication, work overload, physical structure, accessibility of protective equipment and organizational and management aspects. Adherence to personal protective equipment is determined by the context experienced in the workplace, as well as by individual values and beliefs, but the decision to use the personal protective equipment is individual.
