Disposal of Contaminated Materials in Primary Health Care: Nursing Assistance Grants

Abstract

Objective: to analyze how nurses who provide home care discard contaminated materials in primary health care. Methods: a descriptive study was carried out, with 42 nursing professionals working in 21 Basic Health Units of a capital city in the Northeast of Brazil. The statements were processed in the IRaMuTeQ and analyzed by the Descending Hierarchical Classification. Results: Three classes were obtained: Domiciliary Solid Residues produced during the domiciliary visit, How the dynamics of the attendance influence in the production of residues?, Responsibility for the production and Management of Solid Residual Domiciliary. Conclusion: There is a correct conception about the solid waste formation in the health services and consequent adequate disposal of the same, however there is a gap between the knowledge and the implementation of this action in the daily practice of these professionals.

“…Statements were grouped and formed a corpus, which had statistical treatment in the software IRaMuTeQ (acronym of Interface of Routles Analyses Multidimensionelles de Textes et de Questionnaires) (OLIVEIRA et al, 2017), and were later analyzed by the Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD) (MATOS et al, 2018a). The use of software has helped to apprehend the research object in the qualitative approach, with IRaMuTeQ being a highlight among them in recent years (QUEIROZ, SOUSA, 2017;RODRIGUES et al, 2017;MATOS et al, 2018b;QUEIROZ et al, 2018).…”
