“…This finding is similar to those reported in developed countries, where the health care workers' knowledge about CVC-RI prevention guidelines was generally low. [10][11][12][20][21][22][23] The results of the present study are also consistent with other studies carried out in Egypt. 14,24 El-Nemr et al 14 recently found that health care workers' knowledge on the prevention of CVC infection in surgical and emergency ICUs in Al-Zagazig was approximately one third or less.…”

“…All previous studies recommended the need for involving the current evidence-based practice (EBP) guidelines in educational curricula and providing continuous educational programs for health care workers to help them in improving their knowledge. 10,11,[20][21][22][23] The mean of the total knowledge about prevention of CVC-RI was not significantly different between physicians and nurses in the present study, which was consistent with the results of another study conducted in Spain by Guembe et al 13 However, there was a significant difference between the knowledge of physicians and nurses of the pathophysiology of CVC-RI item, which was higher for the physicians. This result can be explained by the fact that nurses were not interested in learning how CVC-RIs occur because it is not their responsibility.…”

Nº 34 Abril 2014Página 406 REVISIONESAcciones y/o intervenciones de enfermería para la prevención de infecciones hospitalarias en pacientes gravemente enfermos: una revisión integrativa RESUMENObjetivo: Identificar en la literatura publicada desde 1997 las acciones o intervenciones de enfermería para la prevención de las infecciones nosocomiales en pacientes adultos en estado crítico.Método: Revisión integradora de las fuentes de información por parte de la BVS (Biblioteca Virtual en Salud), incluyendo IBECS LILACS, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE y PubMed y SciELO. Se utilizaron las siguientes palabras clave: Infección hospitalaria, unidad de cuidados intensivos y enfermería, en un recorte temporal de 1997 a 2011.Resultados: Se analizaron 29 artículos, 28 estaban disponibles en línea completa y la revista está disponible en la biblioteca. Para analizar los datos obtenidos se utilizó la lectura interpretativa y el análisis temático emergiendo las siguientes categorías: higiene de las manos, intervenciones educativas, introducción de las Nuevas Tecnologías en Salud, Higiene Bucal, aspiración de contenido gástrico, decúbito y el cambio de elevación de la cabecera de la cama.Conclusión: Es posible concluir que las acciones o intervenciones de enfermería para la prevención de las infecciones nosocomiales que con mayor frecuencia aparecen en la literatura están relacionadas con las topografías torrente sanguíneo y tracto respiratorio además de lavado de manos y ejercen influencia en la reducción de la incidencia de infecciones nosocomiales. Existen pocos estudios en Brasil, siendo necesarios incentivar las nuevas investigaciones en esta área.

“…The mean age observed in this study corroborates the result of a studyt that highlighted maturity (age greater than 37 years) as a a determinant variable in the best scores of questions about good practices in the insertion and management of the central venous catheter. 14 The predominance of the stationary employment bond contributes to a lower turnover of professionals in the unit. This fact interferes in the performance of the team in relation to adherence to the recommendations of insertion and maintenance of the central venous catheter.…”

Objective: to verify the self-reported behavior of health professionals on the central catheter insertion and maintenance bundle (CVC). Method: a quantitative, exploratory and descriptive study with 41 health professionals from a neonatal intensive care unit. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire, stored in Excel 2010® software and analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results: 94.8% always use maximum protection barriers, 56.7% use chlorhexidine degermant and alcoholic for skin degermation, 40.6% use only degermant and 84.2% avoid the femoral vein. Regarding maintenance, all who perform dressing changes report wearing sterile gloves, 96.0% wear a mask, and 85.7% wear a cap. In the administration of intravenous drugs, 57.8% always performed antisepsis of the connectors. Conclusion: the health professionals present weaknesses in the behavior about the insertion and manipulation of CVC in neonatal intensive care. Developing permanent education strategies can contribute to the knowledge and adherence to good practices of insertion and maintenance of this device. Descriptors: Intensive Care Units, Neonatal; Newborn; Central Venous Catheterization; Patient Safety; Behavior; Patient Care Team. RESUMO Objetivo: verificar o comportamento autorreportado dos profissionais da saúde sobre o bundle de inserção e manutenção de cateter central (CVC). Método: estudo quantitativo, exploratório e descritivo, com 41 profissionais da saúde de uma unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal. A coleta de dados foi com um questionário, armazenados no programa Excel 2010 ® e analisados por estatística descritiva. Resultados: quanto à inserção, 94,8% sempre utilizam barreiras máximas de proteção, 56,7% usam clorexidina degermante e alcoólica para degermação da pele, 40,6% usam apenas o degermante e 84,2% evitam a veia femoral. Quanto à manutenção, todos que realizam a troca de curativo reportam uso de luva estéril, 96,0% utilizam máscara e 85,7% utilizam gorro. Na administração de medicamentos intravenosos, 57,8% sempre realizam antissepsia dos conectores. Conclusão: os profissionais da saúde apresentam fragilidades quanto ao comportamento acerca da inserção e manuseio do CVC na terapia intensiva neonatal. Desenvolver estratégias de educação permanente pode contribuir para o conhecimento e a adesão às boas práticas de inserção e manutenção desse dispositivo.
