“…For this purpose, we used terms found in the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) database from the National Library of Medicine (National Health of Medicine, Bethesda, MD, USA) and in the Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS), BIREME (São Paulo, Brazil) to search for cases. We also conducted a structured search using similar search terms based on subject descriptors in a systematized and hierarchical manner by employing specific Boolean operators from the database [14].…”

Objectives: To compare groups of etiologic agents for neonatal fungemia based on previously published case reports with regard to case outcomes. Methods: Secondary analysis of data from case reports published in scientific literature indexed in Medline, Scopus and LILACS databases, and starting from the year, full texts were registered until the year 2010. Results: Thirty-four species of fungi were isolated in 252 cases reported over a 40-year period. The distribution of fungal groups according to the development level of a case's region of origin was very uneven (p < 0.001), with a predominance of C. albicans and other fungi (Aspergillus sp.) in more developed countries. However, 73% of the chi-squared distribution corresponded to differences observed in the frequency of Candida sp. and non-albicans Candida. While the frequency of candidemia by C. albicans was progressively declining in the period from 1966 to 2010, reports of non-albicans candidemia and other non-Candida fungi became significantly (p < 0.00001) more frequent over the course of the period studied. As for the outcome of death, it was statistically more frequent (p < 0.02) in cases where non-albicans Candida or non-Candida fungi were isolated. Conclusion: fungi of the genera Candida and Aspergillus were the etiologic agents most frequently identified in published cases of neonatal fungemia; the outcome of death was more often related to cases where non-albicans Candida or non-Candida fungi were isolated.

“…Through a broad search in the national and international databases to identify valid and reliable instruments that quantify occupational post-exposure behavior, as in another Brazilian study (10) , we found that there are no validated instruments available in Brazil to assess the risks of exposure to biological material or the impact of prevention and control measures, nor to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices of health professionals in relation to this type of exposure.…”

Objective:To validate the Comply with post-exposure management among health care workers instrument for Nursing in Brazil. Method: A methodological study carried out with 137 nursing professionals exposed to biological material. The existence of floor and ceiling effects was analyzed, evaluating reliability by the internal consistency of the items and test-retest reproducibility. The construct validity was analyzed by the multitraitmultimethod analysis. Results: Ceiling effects were found in two subscales. The result of the internal consistency of four subscales varied between 0.81 and 0.91. The results were considered satisfactory, while two subscales presented an unsatisfactory result (0.50 and 0.37). An evaluation of the measurement stability obtained positive results in relation to the statistical significance, with Intraclass Correlation Coefficient values between the two measurements ranging from 0.301 to 0.727; the validity of a convergent and divergent construct was confirmed by multitrait-multimethod analysis, except for the Attitude subscale, which presented unsatisfactory values. Conclusion: The instrument presents satisfactory results for validity and reliability, except for the Attitude dimension.

“…Diversas abordagens metodológicas são utilizadas, mundialmente, para investigar a ocorrência de exposições a MB, como a caracterização dos sujeitos; a prevalência e perfil das exposições; recursos humanos, materiais e estrutura-física envolvida, além de dados comportamentais (6). Nas investigações sobre exposições ocupacionais a MB, entre a equipe de enfermagem, predominam estudos com abordagem quantitativa, do tipo corte transversal, com dados coletados por meio de questionários e análise de prontuários (7).…”

Objetivo: Analisar casos de acidentes com material biológico entre profissionais da equipe de enfermagem, em setores de urgência e emergência. Material e método: Pesquisa exploratória, que ocorreu entre maio a julho de 2009, com aprovação por Comitês de Ética (Nº 065/08, 12/08 e 118/08). A coleta de dados do referido estudo foi realizada por meio de observação direta, sem, com preenchimento de dois check-list. Resultados: Aconteceram oito acidentes, sendo que a maioria foi por exposição de sangue nas mãos dos trabalhadores e três envolveram vômito. O não uso dos equipamentos de proteção em todos os casos mostra uma subvalorização dessas barreiras por parte dos trabalhadores e ainda dos gerentes, já que nem todos estavam disponíveis. Nenhum acidente foi notificado. Conclusão: O processo de trabalho nos setores de urgência e emergência requer um olhar diferenciado, que considere as suas especificidades, para o planejamento e implantação de uma cultura de segurança frente ao risco biológico.
