ABSTRACT

Objetivo Avaliar qualitativa e quantitativamente os microorganismos presentes na microbiota das mãos dos profissionais de saúde de um hospital particular de Itumbiara (GO). Métodos Foi realizado um estudo com 48 profissionais de saúde, incluindo três enfermeiros, 29 técnicos enfermeiros, cinco auxiliares de enfermagem, nove médicos e dois técnicos em Raios X. As amostras foram obtidas a partir da mão dominante do profissional, pela técnica do saco estéril de polietileno, contendo Tripticase Soy Broth. Resultados A contagem bacteriana da microbiota das mãos demonstrou uma alta contaminação (>106) nas mãos dos enfermeiros, técnicos de enfermagem e auxiliares de enfermagem. Os Staphylococcus coagulase negativa (44,5%) foram os microorganismos mais isolados, seguidos de Staphylococcus aureus (40,0%); cerca de 70,0% dos estafilococos foram resistentes à oxacilina. Não houve detecção de bacilos Gram-negativos. Conclusão Houve uma alta contaminação por bactérias epidemiologicamente importantes no ambiente hospitalar, demonstrando a necessidade de maior frequência e cuidado na higienização das mãos.


Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate qualitatively and quantitatively the microorganisms present in the hands of health professionals in a private hospital in Itumbiara (GO), Brazil. Methods The study was conducted with 48 health professionals, including three nurses, 29 nurse technicians, five nursing assistants, nine physicians and two radiography technicians. Samples were obtained by placing the dominant hand of the health professional in a sterile polyethylene bag containing trypticase soy broth. Results Bacterial count (>106) showed that the hands of nurses, nurse technicians and nursing assistants were very contaminated. The most common microorganisms were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (44.5%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (40.0%). Roughly 70% of the staphylococci were oxacillin-resistant. Gramnegative bacilli were not detected. Conclusion Hands were very contaminated with bacteria that are epidemiologically important in the hospital environment, demonstrating the need for more frequent and careful hand washing.
