A biosegurança em tuberculose hospitalar na formação do residentes do HUPAA

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to investigate the knowledge about biosafety in tuberculosis during the training of residents of the University Hospital Professor Alberto Antunes, HUPAA/UFAL, and was justified by the severity of the residents' exposure to tuberculosis bacillus; the study also emphasized the need for preventive measures, ie monitoring of biosafety measures, since health professionals have an increased risk of infection and illness due to tuberculosis, and because it is a subject rarely explored during graduation in relation to specificities and complexity of health care, performed in the places where the Multiprofessional Resident practices them. Given this, it was revealed the need to implement specific control actions aimed at the protection of these professionals. It was an investigative study that utilized the Focal Group (GF) technique to seize the field material with residents of the practice scenarios: Medical Clinic, Center for Assistance in High Complexity in Oncology (CACON), Unit of Infectious Diseases and Parasitary/Day Hospital (UDIP/HD), Basic Health Units (UBS). In the context of the work, the interpretation of the speech was guided by the content analysis of Bardin. This study resulted in a scientific article: "Biosafety in Hospital Tuberculosis in HUPAA Resident Training", which brings a discussion about biosafety in hospital tuberculosis and had as its central objective to analyze the current level of knowledge among residents of the Program of Multiprofessional Health Residency at HUPAA on biosafety measures in hospital tuberculosis. The intervention proposal consisted of a training titled: "Biosafety in Hospital Tuberculosis", which aimed to train the students of the residence on the said topic, for use in the practice scenarios. The inclusion of tuberculosis as a public health problem and the measures for its control at the different levels of health education is a necessary prerequisite for the operationalization of actions aimed at controlling the transmission of nosocomial infection to those professionals and students in the area become effective. The evidence leads us to seek strategies capable of contributing to the training of professionals that meet the guidelines of the Unified Health System (SUS).
