ABSTRACT

El uso de equipamientos de protección personal durante los tratamientos odontológicos garantiza la salud de profesionales y pacientes. Este trabajo tiene como propósito analizar, en la literatura científica, el conocimiento de estudiantes y profesionales de odontología sobre el uso de equipos de protección personal, antes y después de la pandemia COVID-19. Para ello se realizó una revisión integrativa en las bases de datos: Scielo, Pubmed, BVS y Web of Science, incluyendo artículos publicados entre agosto del 2010 y agosto del 2022. Fueron seleccionados 14 artículos, disponibles íntegramente en las bases de datos seleccionadas. Se excluyeron tesis, artículos de revisión, duplicados y aquellos donde la metodología no respondía al objetivo propuesto. En los 14 artículos seleccionados, el método para obtención de datos fue el cuestionario. Los estudios fueron realizados en Brasil, Yemen, Cuba, México, Líbano, Turquía, India, Londres, y Colombia. Seis estudios se realizaron antes de la pandemia y 8 de ellos después de su inicio. Todas las investigaciones evaluaban conocimientos, actitudes, prácticas y factores relacionados con el uso de equipos de protección personal. Se concluye que el uso de equipos de protección personal antes de la pandemia ya era una práctica esencial para garantizar la seguridad de profesionales, estudiantes y pacientes durante los procedimientos odontológicos; con la pandemia de COVID-19 nuevos protocolos fueron establecidos y con ellos nuevos equipamientos como el uso del protector facial y la mascarilla N95.


The use of personal protective equipment during dental treatments guarantees the professionals and patients' health. This researcher's purpose is to analyze in scientific literature the dental students and professionals' knowledge regarding the use of personal protective equipment, before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. An integrative review was carried out in the databases: Scielo, Pubmed, BVS and Web of Science, including articles published between August 2010 and August 2022. 14 articles were selected, available in full in the selected databases. Theses, review articles, duplicates and those where the methodology did not respond to the proposed objective were excluded. In the 14 selected articles, the method for obtaining data was the questionnaire. The studies were carried out in Brazil, Yemen, Cuba, Mexico, Lebanon, Turkey, India, London, and Colombia. Six studies were carried out before the pandemic and 8 of them after its start. All researches evaluated knowledge, attitudes, practices and factors related to the use of personal protective equipment. It is concluded that the use of personal protective equipment before the pandemic was already an essential practice to guarantee the safety of professionals, students and patients during dental procedures; with the COVID-19 pandemic, new protocols were established and with them new equipment such as the use of the face shield and the N95 mask.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Gloves are personal protective equipment designed to prevent contamination and reduce the spread of microorganisms. This study aimed to assess in vitro the physical integrity of latex gloves and the retention of biological contamination in healthcare simulation. METHOD: Three different batches of latex procedure gloves from five different brands and specific batches were evaluated before use for physical integrity by the standard protocols of the Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and of the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Moreover, the retention of biological contamination by latex procedure gloves in needlestick injury simulation with crystal violet and bacteriophages were applied in order to mimic human blood and virus presence. RESULTS: Brands D and C showed the best and worst results in the immediate inspections and after 2 min, respectively. For Brand C, damage occurred in one finger/region in a total of 12 gloves, while seven gloves were damaged/unable to be worn. Brand D presented only two gloves with tears and/or holes in one finger/region. Regarding the viral contamination, in a simulated needlestick injury, data showed no significant difference among the groups. CONCLUSION: All glove brands presented physical damage that might affect the spread of microorganisms. The gloves did not exert an additional protective effect during a needlestick injury simulation in accordance with the two techniques used in this study.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Haemophilia treatment centres (HTCs) and healthcare providers (HCPs) will need to adapt to a new treatment paradigm with the emergence of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy for the treatment of haemophilia in adults. AIM: This review examines the upcoming patient and institutional journeys, along with practical aspects of preparedness for clinical delivery of gene therapy by HTCs. METHODS: Based on our clinical experience and examination of published literature, we explored the parallel journeys for patients and treatment centres to navigate before, during, and after administration of gene therapy. RESULTS: The patient journey includes: information gathering; decision making; comprehensive patient assessment; preparation for the infusion itself; short- and long-term monitoring; lifestyle modifications; and the possible need for immunosuppressive treatment. Informed decision-making may require patient education with extensive discussions and an understanding that not all people with haemophilia will choose or be eligible for gene therapy, although eligibility criteria continue to evolve. The institutional journey includes: consideration of biosafety procedures; planning for product procurement, handling, storage, and administration; development of detailed protocols and guidance documents; contingency planning for immunosuppressive and haemostatic management; consideration of clinical capabilities and staff training needs; coordination of efforts by the full multidisciplinary team; and collaboration between referring, dosing, and follow-up treatment centres. Documented protocols and guidance documents are pivotal for this complex therapy to ensure safe handling, optimal delivery, and post-infusion management and follow-up. CONCLUSION: Successful implementation of this new treatment modality will require communication and collaboration among multiple stakeholders.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las Infecciones Asociadas a la Atención en Salud (IAAS) son un serio problema para los establecimientos de salud, no solo como causal de morbimortalidad sino también por los altos costos que generan. La contaminación de ambientes son un peligro para cualquier establecimiento sanitario. Objetivo: Determinar la eficacia de los desinfectantes de uso hospitalario frente a microorganismos aislados de superficies (respirador, monitor y superficie de la cama clínica) de áreas críticas del Hospital "Santa Rosa", Lima, Perú. Material y Métodos: Estudio observacional, prospectivo y transversal, se evaluaron varios productos de desinfección de superficies. Se utilizó la prueba de reto en superficie utilizando cepas control. Las muestras fueron recolectadas de los servicios de Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Adultos (UCI), Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatal (UCINEO), Unidad de Cuidados Especiales de Medicina (UCEM) del Hospital "San Rosa". El efecto de los desinfectantes evaluados se realizó a los 5, 10 y 15 minutos. Resultados: En las condiciones del ensayo y considerando los tiempos y velocidad de muerte bacteriana por efecto del desinfectante, los productos de mayor eficacia resultaron ser el amonio cuaternario (Supersafe D) e hipoclorito de sodio a 1 %. Conclusiones: Ninguno de los desinfectantes logró alcanzar las exigencias del test de Chambers. Los productos lograron efectos esperados a partir de los 10 ó15 minutos.


Introduction: Infections Associated with Health Care (IAAS) are a serious problem for health care facilities, not only as a cause of morbidity and mortality but also because of the high costs they generate. Contaminated environments are a danger for any health care facilities. Objective: To determine the efficacy of hospital disinfectants against microorganisms isolated from surfaces (ventilator, monitor and surface of the hospital bed) in critical areas of the "Santa Rosa" Hospital, Lima-Peru. Material and Methods: An observational, prospective and cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate disinfection products used to clean floors and surfaces. The surface challenge test was performed using control strains. Samples were collected from the adult intensive care unit (ICU), the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and the special care unit (SCU) of the Santa Rosa Hospital. The effect of the disinfectants was evaluated at the fifth, tenth and fifteen minutes. Results: Under the study conditions and considering the time and speed of bacterial death due to the disinfectant effect, the most effective products were quaternary ammonium (Supersafe-D) and 1% sodium hypochlorite. Conclusions: None of the disinfectants met the chamber test requirements. The products achieved the expected effects after 10 to 15 minutes.

MÉTODO: Estudo descritivo, exploratório, qualitativo, com estudantes de enfermagem de uma universidade pública da baixada litorânea do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, através de entrevista em ambiente virtual, entre julho e setembro de 2021. Utilizou-se o Interface de R pour Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes Et de Questionnaires para processamento do corpus textual e Análise de Conteúdo Temática para interpretação das falas. RESULTADOS: Participaram 29 estudantes que reconhecem a biossegurança, mas não possuem segurança ao abordá-la. Para eles, trata-se de normas para proteção do trabalhador e pacientes, associando-as aos EPIs e ao uso durante a pandemia. CONCLUSÃO: A biossegurança não é reconhecida na sua totalidade entre estudantes de enfermagem que estarão no mercado de trabalho futuramente. É necessário um olhar ampliado em perspectiva transversal, especialmente nas disciplinas do ciclo profissionalizante da enfermagem.


OBJECTIVE: To describe Nursing students' knowledge about the biosafety measures in the hospital context in pandemic times. METHOD: A descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study conducted through interviews in a virtual environment between July and September 2021 with Nursing students from a public university in the coastal lowland of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Interface de R pour Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes Et de Questionnaires was used to process the text corpus and Thematic Content Analysis was employed to interpret the testimonies. RESULTS: The participants were 29 students that recognize biosafety but are not confident enough to address it. For them, it is but a set of standards for the protection of workers and patients alike, associating it with PPE and with its use during the pandemic. CONCLUSION: Biosafety is not recognized in its entirety by the Nursing students who will enter the labor market in the near future. An expanded and cross-sectional perspective is required, especially in the academic disciplines of Nursing training cycle.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: identificar fatores associados à acidentes com material biológico e à percepção do risco biológico entre Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS). Métodos: estudo transversal analítico realizado com ACS, mediante aplicação de questionário e consulta de registros no cartão de vacinas. Regressão múltipla de Poisson com variância robusta foi realizada para analisar os fatores associados aos acidentes com material biológico e à percepção do risco biológico. Resultados: dos 207 participantes, 50,24% (IC 95% = 43,4 - 56,9) apresentou autorrelato de acidentes com material biológico, tendo como fatores associados possuir formação de nível superior [RP ajustada = 2,2 (IC 95% = 1,0 - 4,7)], ter outro vínculo empregatício [RP ajustada = 1,5 (IC 95% = 1,0 - 2,3)] e conhecimento quanto às vacinas necessárias ao ACS [RP ajustada = 0,7 (0,5 - 0,9)]. Constatou-se que 74,39% dos ACS tinham percepção de algum risco biológico, mesmo de forma limitada. Entre as variáveis investigadas, na análise ajustada, nenhuma mostrou associação com a percepção de risco biológico pelos ACS. Conclusão: a prevalência de acidentes com material biológico em ACS é elevada, sendo fatores associados possuir formação de nível superior, ter outro vínculo empregatício e apresentar conhecimento quanto as vacinas necessárias para a atividade laboral. Há limitada percepção de risco pela maioria dos ACS. Não foram encontrados fatores associados à esta variável.


Objectives: to identify factors associated with accidents involving biological material and the perception of biological risk among community health workers (CHWs). Methods: an analytical cross-sectional study was carried out with CHWs using a questionnaire and consultation of vaccination card records. Poisson multiple regression with robust variance was conducted to analyze the factors associated with accidents involving biological material and perception of biological risk. Results: of the 207 participants, 50.24% (95% CI = 43.4 - 56.9) self-reported accidents with biological material, and the associated factors were having a university degree [adjusted PR = 2.2 (95% CI = 1.0 - 4.7)], having another job [adjusted PR = 1.5 (95% CI = 1.0 - 2.3)] and knowledge of the vaccines needed by CHWs [adjusted PR = 0.7 (0.5 - 0.9)]. It was found that 74.39% of CHWs were aware of some biological risk, even to a limited extent. Among the variables investigated, in the adjusted analysis, none showed an association with the perception of biological risk by CHWs. Conclusion: the prevalence of accidents involving biological material among CHWs is high, and the associated factors are having a university degree, having another job, and having knowledge of the vaccines required for the job. Most CHWs have a limited perception of the risk. No factors were associated with this variable.

ABSTRACT

A pandemia da COVID-19 impôs desafios importantes para a formação dos futuros enfermeiros no que tange aos conhecimentos e habilidades necessárias sobre as medidas de biossegurança dos equipamentos de proteção individual. Diante disto, neste estudo objetivou-se avaliar a efetividade da intervenção educativa no conhecimento e habilidade técnica de estudantes de enfermagem sobre paramentação e desparamentação e medidas preventivas no contexto da COVID-19 antes e após intervenção educativa. Trata-se de um estudo misto, composto de duas etapas. Na primeira etapa, foi conduzido um estudo metodológico de junho a setembro de 2021 com a construção e validação Exame Clínico Objetivo Estruturado (OSCE) por 22 juízes, foram convidados via e-mail através do Google Forms para validar os instrumentos. E a segunda etapa, consistiu em um estudo quase-experimental tipo antes e depois, de junho a agosto de 2022, constituído por 80 estudantes de enfermagem regularmente matriculados em uma instituição de ensino superior do interior de São Paulo, do segundo ao quarto ano, aplicando teste de conhecimento (pré e pós teste), intervenção educativa, OSCE sobre paramentação e desparamentação, uso de escalas acerca de precauções padrão e medo da COVID-19, dados analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e inferencial. Para verificar se houve diferença entre pré e pós-teste das escalas CSPS, SPQ-PB e escala de Medo, além de verificar se houve associação entre as variáveis sociodemográficas e o conhecimento, foi realizado o Teste de Wilcoxon. Para comparar possíveis diferenças nos acertos no teste de conhecimento entre pré e pós, foi utilizado o Teste de Mcnemar, em todos adotou-se um nível de significância de α ≤0,05. Na etapa I, obteve-se a validação do OSCE por juízes/especialistas, onde o IVC relativo à objetividade e conteúdo foi de 0,95 e 1; IVC de 0,82 e 0,95 referente à clareza e avaliação geral. A intervenção educativa mostrou-se efetiva sobre o aumento do conhecimento dos estudantes, as variáveis com associações significantes foram: sexo feminino, pertencer ao Curso de Bacharelado em Enfermagem. Houve aumento nos acertos em 14 questões, onde em sete identificou-se diferença estatisticamente significante. Quanto ao desempenho dos estudantes observou-se que os estudantes tiveram maiores acertos nas etapas da paramentação comparado a desparamentação, em nenhuma das etapas da desparamentação foi alcançado 100% de acertos. Observou-se que 78 (97,5%) se autocontaminaram durante a realização da desparamentação dos EPI e apenas 2 (2,5%) não se autocontaminaram. Quanto a avaliação do cumprimento às PP por meio da escala CSPS tanto no pré-teste como no pós-teste, encontrou-se que oito itens obtiveram taxas de cumprimento acima de 80%. Entre os fatores que facilitam a adesão às PP, 77 (96,3%) dos estudantes afirmaram ser totalmente eficaz estar capacitado no que se refere às precauções-padrão tanto no pré como no pós-teste e redução do medo de morrer de COVID-19 para 17,5%. Assim, foi percebida a melhora conhecimento e habilidades acerca da paramentação e desparamentação de EPI, das medidas preventivas sobre COVID-19 pelos estudantes de enfermagem, além de esmiuçar as áreas com maiores presenças de autocontaminação simulada após a desparamentação


The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed significant challenges for the education of future nurses regarding the necessary knowledge and skills regarding biosafety measures and personal protective equipment. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention on the knowledge and technical skills of nursing students on donning and doffing, as well as preventive measures in the context of COVID-19, before and after the intervention. This mixed-methods study consisted of two stages. In the first stage, a methodological study was conducted from June to September 2021, involving the construction and validation of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) by 22 judges. The judges were invited via email using Google Forms to validate the instruments. The second stage consisted of a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test study conducted from June to August 2022, involving 80 nursing students regularly enrolled in a higher education institution in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. The students were in their second to fourth year of study. The study included a knowledge test (pre- and post-test), an educational intervention, OSCE donning and doffing, the use of scales regarding standard precautions and fear of COVID-19. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The Wilcoxon test was used to verify if there was a difference between the pre- and post-test scores of the scales CSPS (Compliance with Standard Precautions Scale), SPQ-PB (Standard Precautions Questionnaire-Perceived Barrier Scale), and Fear Scale. The association between sociodemographic variables and knowledge was also examined. The McNemar test was used to compare possible differences in knowledge test scores between the pre-and post-tests. A significance level of α ≤0.05 was adopted for all analyses. In Stage I, the OSCE was validated by judges/experts. The Content Validity Index (CVI) for objectivity and content was 0.95 and 1, respectively. The CVI for clarity and overall evaluation was 0.82 and 0.95, respectively. The educational intervention was effective in increasing students' knowledge. The variables with significant associations were female gender and enrollment in the Bachelor of Nursing program. There was an increase in correct answers for 14 questions, with statistically significant differences observed in seven questions. Regarding student performance, it was observed that students had higher scores in the donning stages compared to the doffing stages. None of the doffing stages achieved 100% accuracy. It was observed that 78 (97.5%) students self-contaminated during the doffing, while only 2 (2.5%) did not self-contaminate. Regarding compliance with standard precautions, as evaluated by the CSPS scale in both the pre- and post-tests, eight items achieved compliance rates above 80%. Among the factors that facilitate adherence to standard precautions, 77 (96.3%) students reported that being trained in standard precautions was fully effective, both in the pre- and post-tests. The fear of dying from COVID-19 decreased by 17.5%. Thus, an improvement in knowledge and skills on donning and doffing, as well as preventive measures for COVID-19, was observed among nursing students. The areas with the highest presence of simulated self-contamination after doffing were also identified

Abstract Objective To identify the understanding of biosafety and patient safety from the perspective of nursing teachers and students in Brazil and Portugal. Methods This is a qualitative study involving 14 teachers and 44 students from 3 public educational institutions (2 in Brazil and 1 in Portugal). The study included students in their final year of high school as well as students enrolled in undergraduate and licensure courses because, by this stage of their studies, they had already covered topics related to biosafety and patient safety. It also included teachers of these subjects. Triangulation was used to collect data through interviews and observation. For organization and analysis, resources of the Atlas.ti 22 qualitative research software program were used in conjunction with the principles of thematic content analysis. Results It was evident in both countries that the teachers and students recognized the premises that involved biosafety and patient safety and that these should form part of nursing education in its transversality, emphasizing that biosafety and safety were interrelated in the prevention of adverse events. The importance of caring for oneself and others, the influence of the regulatory framework in guiding practice, and the existence of gaps in knowledge and practical application were all factors mentioned by the interviewees. Conclusion Biosafety and patient safety education and regulations, as well as the knowledge of teachers and students on these topics, affect safe practice and the quality of nursing care. Having a good understanding of these areas is therefore essential in health crises, especially for preventing infection, and it is important to raise awareness of the duty of safe health practices.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo transversal foi identificar adequações quanto à utilização de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual e organização do processo de trabalho no atendimento odontológico ambulatorial no Paraná durante o primeiro ano da pandemia da Covid-19. A amostra de conveniência incluiu 1.105 profissionais de saúde bucal (cirurgiões-dentistas, técnicos e auxiliares em saúde bucal) durante o primeiro ano da pandemia (agosto a outubro de 2020). Formulário on-line (Google Formulários®) foi enviado por e-mail pelo Conselho Regional de Odontologia. As medidas de enfrentamento da Covid-19 foram comparadas entre os tipos de serviços odontológicos: ambulatorial do Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS (Atenção Primária, Centro de Especialidades Odontológicos e Pronto Atendimento), clínica privada, e outros (Sistema S, forças de segurança, sindicatos, hospitais públicos e privados e clínicas de ensino). Os profissionais dos serviços ambulatoriais do SUS relataram com maior frequência que: suspenderam atendimentos eletivos, evitavam gerar aerossóis e trabalhavam a quatro mãos. Nas clínicas privadas, utilizavam frequentemente teleorientação e telemonitoramento. Nos 'outros serviços', houve maior proporção de redução das horas de trabalho e autoclavagem de peças de mão após cada atendimento. Conclui-se que, apesar da alta adequação às medidas de enfrentamento da Covid-19, houve diferença na prática profissional nos diferentes tipos de serviços odontológicos.


ABSTRACT This cross-sectional study aimed to identify adjustments regarding the use of Personal Protective Equipment and the organization of the work process in outpatient dental care in Paraná during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The convenience sample included 1,105 oral health professionals (dental surgeons, oral health assistants, and dental hygienists) during the first year of the pandemic (August to October, 2020). An online form (Google Forms®) was sent by email by the Regional Council of Dentistry. COVID-19's measures were compared between the types of dental services: 'outpatient clinic of the Unified Health System - SUS' (Primary Care, Dental Specialty Center, and Emergency Care), 'private clinic' and 'other services' (Sistema S, security forces, trade union, public and private hospitals, and teaching clinics). Professionals from SUS outpatient services reported more frequently: that they suspended elective care, avoided generating aerosols, and worked four-handed. Professionals from 'private clinics' used teleorientation and telemonitoring more regularly. In the 'other services', there was a more significant proportion reduction in work hours and handpieces autoclaving after each service. It is concluded that, despite the high adequacy of the measures to combat COVID-19, there was a difference in professional practice among the different types of dental services.

Objetivo: Describir las percepciones de los odontopediatras con respecto a la bioseguridad para la atención odontológica en tiempos de COVID-19 en Lima, 2020. Materiales y métodos: Estudio cualitativo, de método fenomenológico y de análisis de contenidos. Se llevaron a cabo entrevistas semiestructuradas a profundidad a 18 odontopediatras, siguiendo las pautas descritas en una guía, a través de la plataforma de videoconferencias Zoom, luego de la aceptación virtual del respectivo consentimiento informado. Se empleó el software Atlas.ti versión 8.4 para el análisis de los datos, donde se cargaron todos los archivos transcritos textualmente de cada entrevista. Resultados: Los odontopediatras perciben estar empoderados profesionalmente de los conocimientos sobre medidas de bioseguridad y destacan el dominio de diversas técnicas como enjuague bucal, uso de equipos de protección personal, control de aerosoles, distancia entre pacientes y desinfección de ambientes, relevantes para la seguridad del paciente. Así mismo, refieren que las normas de bioseguridad son algo confusas, poco claras y carecen de enfoque pediátrico. Conclusiones: Los odontopediatras constituyen recursos humanos en salud estratégicos por tener un bagaje de conocimientos de bioseguridad como parte de su preparación profesional, además de recibir capacitación sobre las nuevas normativas de bioseguridad en el contexto de la pandemia del COVID-19. Es importante estandarizar criterios y enfoques en el modelo de atención de odontopediatría y garantizar las condiciones para la sostenibilidad de esta práctica profesional.


Objective: To describe pediatric dentists' perceptions regarding dental biosafety in times of COVID-19 in Lima, 2020. Materials and methods: A qualitative, phenomenological and content-analysis study. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 pediatric dentists through the Zoom videoconferencing platform, following the guidelines described in a guide and after obtaining the pertinent virtual informed consent. ATLAS.ti software version 8.4 was used for data analysis, where all the verbatim files of each interview were uploaded. Results: Pediatric dentists perceived themselves to be professionally empowered with knowledge about biosafety measures. Moreover, they highlighted the mastery of various techniques such as mouthwash, use of personal protective equipment, control of aerosols, social distancing between patients and disinfection of environments, which are essential for patient safety. They also reported that biosafety regulations are somewhat confusing, unclear, and lack a pediatric approach. Conclusions: Pediatric dentists are strategic human resources for healthcare because they gained biosafety knowledge as part of their professional education and received training on new biosafety regulations in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to standardize the criteria and approaches in the model of care for pediatric dentistry and guarantee the conditions for the sustainability of this professional practice.

ABSTRACT

Resumo: Trata-se de um estudo para o desenvolvimento de uma tecnologia para educação permanente em serviço, cujo objetivo foi a construção e validação de um jogo educativo sobre Biossegurança em uma Central de Materiais e Esterilização. O método utilizado foi pesquisa aplicada, tecnológica, de desenho exploratório e abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, desenvolvida em seis etapas. Na 1ª etapa foram definidas as características do jogo (objetivos e finalidades). A 2ª etapa consistiu em uma revisão integrativa para embasamento sobre a concepção e o conteúdo do jogo. Na 3ª etapa foi construído o protótipo do jogo e definidas suas regras. Na 4ª etapa foi desenvolvido o conteúdo do jogo educativo por meio de três oficinas com grupos focais norteados pela metodologia da problematizadora, com o uso do Arco de Marguerez. Inicialmente foi disponibilizado um questionário com objetivo de caracterizar o perfil sócio-ocupacional e identificar as ocorrências de acidentes com materiais biológicos. Na 1ª oficina foram realizadas a 1ª e 2ª fases do Arco de Maguerez (observação e pontos-chave) utilizando os resultados do questionário. Na 2ª oficina, foi realizada a 3ª fase do Arco de Maguerez (Teorização), com a discussão das cartas do jogo. Na 3ª oficina realizou-se o teste piloto, constituindo a 4ª fase do Arco de Maguerez (Hipótese de Soluções). Na 5ª etapa ocorreu a validação do conteúdo pelos juízes especialistas. Na 6ª etapa houve a aplicação do jogo e avaliação de aparência pelo público-alvo. O resultado da validação pelos juízes especialistas apresentou um Índice de Validação de Conteúdo maior que 0,8 em 20 cartas. As seis cartas que não atingiram o índice foram descartadas. Os participantes das oficinas relataram coesão das cartas com os temas apresentados, corroborando com as necessidades do serviço. A avaliação de aparência foi positiva e aprovada pelos participantes em sua totalidade. Como resultado, foi construído e validado o jogo de tabuleiro intitulado "Minha Saúde em Primeiro Lugar". O jogo mostrou que atende o objetivo de proporcionar que os profissionais de enfermagem reconheçam os problemas relacionados com biossegurança no ambiente de trabalho de uma Central de Material e Esterilização, prevenindo acidentes e adoecimentos. O jogo de tabuleiro apresenta um caráter inovador para o processo de educação permanente em serviço, pois torna as capacitações mais interativas, permitindo a reflexão sobre o cotidiano laboral e os riscos presentes nele. Esta tecnologia para educação poderá ser replicada em todo o território nacional como uma estratégia de ensino em serviço. As ações educativas em ambientes de saúde são necessárias e são previstas em legislações vigentes no país. O uso desta tecnologia pode garantir a segurança no trabalho dos profissionais de enfermagem e, por consequência, assegurar a segurança dos pacientes nas instituições de saúde.


Abstract: This is a study for the development of an educational technology, whose objective was the construction and validation of an educational game about Biosafety in a Materials and Sterilization Center. The method used was applied research, technological, exploratory design and quantitative approach, developed in six stages. In the 1st stage, the characteristics of the game (objectives and purposes) were defined. The 2nd stage consisted of an integrative review to support the design and content of the game. In the 3rd stage, the game prototype was built and its rules defined. In the 4th stage, the content of the educational game was developed through three workshops with focus groups guided by the methodology of the problematization, using the Arco de Marguerez. Initially, a questionnaire was made available to be used at this stage. In the 1st workshop, the 1st and 2nd phases of the Arch of Maguerez (observation and key points) were carried out using the results of the questionnaire. In the 2nd workshop, the 3rd phase of the Arco de Maguerez (Theorization) was carried out, with the discussion of the cards of the game. In the 3rd workshop, the pilot test was carried out, constituting the 4th phase of the Arch of Maguerez (Hypothesis of Solutions). In the 5th stage, the content was validated by the expert judges. In the 6th stage, there was the application of the game and the evaluation of appearance by the target audience. The result of validation by expert judges showed a Content Validation Index greater than 0.8 in 20 letters. The six cards that did not reach the index were discarded. Workshop participants reported cohesion of the letters with the themes presented, corroborating the needs of the service. The appearance evaluation was positive and approved by the participants in its entirety. As a result, the board game entitled "My Health in First Place" was built and validated. The game showed that it meets the objective of enabling nursing professionals to recognize problems related to biosafety in the work environment of a Material and Sterilization Center, preventing accidents and illness. The board game has an innovative character for the process of continuing education in service, as it makes training more interactive, allowing reflection on the daily work and the risks present in it. This educational technology can be replicated throughout the national territory as an in-service teaching strategy. Educational actions in health environments are necessary and are provided for in current legislation in the country. The use of this technology can guarantee the safety at work of nursing professionals and, consequently, ensure the safety of patients in health institutions.

ABSTRACT

Com o surgimento da pandemia causada pelo SARS-Cov-2, houve a necessidade de reestruturação dos serviços de saúde no Brasil, incluindo a clínica odontológica. O objetivo do presente estudo é descrever as medidas de biossegurança realizadas ou modificadas na prática de saúde bucal no estado do Paraná, em nível público e privado, envolvendo três categorias profissionais: cirurgiões-dentistas (CD), técnicos em saúde bucal (TSB) e auxiliares de saúde bucal (ASB). Esta pesquisa transversal descritiva foi realizada nos meses de agosto a outubro de 2020, com o envio de questionários on-linepor e-maile divulgação em redes sociais. Foram envolvidos 1072 profissionais, sendo 75,6% CD, 16,3% ASB e 8,1% TSB. O gênero feminino foi predominante entre os participantes (81,1%), com 46,1% apresentando idade entre 40 e 59 anos. Gorro, máscara cirúrgica, óculos de proteção e protetor facial são referidos como sempre utilizados, respectivamente, por 92,3%, 81,0%, 80,0% e 79,1% dos participantes. A máscara N95/PFF2 (67,5%) e o avental impermeável (20,3%) tiverem os maiores percentuais de "nunca disponíveis ou utilizados". Cerca de 50% afirmaram que tiveram acesso à Nota Técnica GVIMS/GGTES/ANVISA Nº 04/2020. Os profissionais avaliados, em geral, realizaram mudanças em suas práticas de biossegurança, mas precisam ser acompanhados durante toda a extensão da pandemia.


With the emergence of the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic, there was a need to restructure health services in Brazil, including the dental clinic. The aim of the present study was to describe the biosafety measures performed or modified in oral health practice at public and private levels, involving the three professional categories: dental surgeons (DDS), oral health technicians(OHT), and health assistants (HA) in the state of Paraná. This escriptive cross-sectional survey was carried out from August to October 2020, with an online questionnaire being sent by email and published on social networks. There were 1072 professionalsinvolved, of which 75.6% were DDS, 16.3% were OHT, and 8.1% were HA. The female gender was predominant among the participants (81.1%), and 46.1% were aged between 40 and 59 years. 92.3%, 81.0%, 80.0%, and 79.1% of the articipants, respectively, said theyalways used a cap, surgical mask, protective glasses, and face shield. The N95/PFF2 mask (67.5%) and the waterproof apron (20.3%) are two of the most frequently mentioned items as never being available or used. About 51% said they had access to Technical Note GVIMS/GGTES/ANVISA No. 04/2020. In general, the professionals evaluated have been making changes in their biosafety practices, but they still need to be monitored throughout the pandemic.

Apandemia de COVID-19impôs ainterrupção deatividades presenciais coletivaseos profissionais de saúde foram os mais afetados, por estarem na linha de frente no combate desta doença. Medidas de biossegurança tiveram que ser redobradas para evitar a propagação do vírus e assim ajudar a controlar apandemia. Procedimentos que geram aerossóis na Odontologia foram evitados, pois é de conhecimento que um dos meios de transmissão é a saliva. Alguns Equipamentos de Proteção Individual(EPs) foram adicionados para garantir a proteção, e protocolos de desinfecção do ambiente foram modificados. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o grau de conhecimento sobre biossegurança entre estudantes da área da saúde. Foiaplicado um questionário eletrônicopara a comunidade relacionada aos cursos da área da saúde na cidade de Curitiba/PR. Cento e cinquenta e novealunos responderam ao questionário, sendo 107 (67,3%) estudantesdaOdontologia, 28 (17,6%) da Medicina, 17 (10,7%) da Biomedicina e 7 (4,4%) daEnfermagem. Entre os participantes, 63,55% dos alunos de Odontologia, 100% de Medicina, 64,71% de Biomedicina e 85,71% de Enfermagem acreditam que os alunos da graduação não estão preparados para fazer atendimentos de urgência em pacientes com COVID-19. Apesar de toda a orientação sobre biossegurança, os alunos da área da saúde ainda devem desenvolver habilidades quanto aoscorretos procedimentos para atendimento de pacientes portadores ou não de doenças transmissíveis (AU).


Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, people all over the world had to interrupt their face-to-face interactions. Health professionals were most affected, as they were at the forefront of combating this disease. Biosecurity measures had to be re-doubled to prevent the spread of the virus and thus help control the pandemic. Procedures in dentistry that generated aerosols were avoided, as saliva is one of the means ofCOVID-19transmission. Complementary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was required to ensure protection, and environmental disinfection protocols had been modified. Thus, to assess the level of knowledge about biosafety and these new changes, particularly regarding COVID-19, a questionnaire was published for the community related to health courses in the city of Curitiba (PR, Brazil). This study included 159 students (dentistry, 107 (67.3%); medicine, 28 (17.6%); biomedicine, 17 (10.7%); and nursing, seven (4.4%)). Approximately 63.55% of dentistry, 100% of medicine, 64.71% of biomedical, and 85.71% of nursing students believe that undergraduate students are unprepared to provide urgent care to COVID-19 patients. Despite all the guidance on biosafety, students in healthcaremust still develop skills incorrect procedures for caring forpatients with or without communicable diseases (AU).

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Fundamento: los altos niveles de propagación y contagio del SARS-CoV-2 han impuesto modificaciones a los protocolos de bioseguridad en Estomatología; de aquí la necesidad de identificar tales cambios y diagnosticar la preparación del tecnólogo de atención estomatológica para su aplicación. Objetivo: identificar las necesidades de superación profesional del tecnólogo sobre el protocolo de bioseguridad en Estomatología en tiempos de COVID-19. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo en las clínicas estomatológicas de las áreas de salud del municipio Santa Clara durante el mes de febrero de 2021. Se utilizaron métodos teóricos: análisis-síntesis e inducción-deducción: para los referentes teóricos del tema y empíricos: análisis documental, cuestionario y observación. Resultados: más del 50 % de los tecnólogos tenían un nivel medio de conocimientos sobre el protocolo de bioseguridad; una vez identificadas las necesidades de superación estas se agruparon en 10 indicadores o temas a desarrollar en las diferentes formas del posgrado. En la formación del tecnólogo en atención estomatológica, por su naturaleza clínica, los cursos usualmente son presenciales y prácticos; sin embargo, para esta experiencia y a tenor de las condiciones generadas por la pandemia, se propuso incluir algunas actividades virtuales que promovieron el uso de recursos digitales, a fin de que fueran interactivas y motivaran al estudiante a realizarlas. Conclusiones: emergieron carencias que evidenciaron la necesidad de superación de los tecnólogos en atención estomatológica dadas en lo fundamental por los cambios en los protocolos de bioseguridad y las dificultades detectadas en su cumplimento.


ABSTRACT Background: the high levels of spreading and contagion of SARS-CoV-2 have imposed modifications to biosafety protocols in Stomatology; hence the need to identify such changes and diagnose the preparation of the dental care technologist for their application. Objective: to identify the professional improvement needs of the technologist on the biosafety protocol in Dentistry in times of COVID-19. Methods: a descriptive study was carried out in the Dentistry clinics of the health areas of the Santa Clara municipality during the month of February 2021. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction: for the theoretical references of the subject and empirical ones: documentary analysis, questionnaire and observation. Results: more than 50% of the technologists had an average level of knowledge about the biosafety protocol; once the needs for improvement were identified, these were grouped into 10 indicators or topics to be developed in the different forms of the postgraduate course. In the training of the technologist in dental care, due to its clinical nature, the courses are usually face-to-face and practical; however, for this experience and in light of the conditions generated by the pandemic, it was proposed to include some virtual activities that promoted the use of electronic resources, so that they were interactive and motivated the student to carry them out. Conclusions: shortcomings emerged that evidenced the need for overcoming technologists in dental care, mainly due to the changes in biosafety protocols and the difficulties detected in their compliance.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Numerous pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, can remain viable on surfaces over days, which favors cross-contamination. Preventive measures are essential to prevent infections and control the spread of COVID-19. Fox ruler is an essential device in the clinical planning of complete dentures and the contact with the patient's oral fluids during handling is unavoidable. Despite its importance, the conventional polycarbonate Fox ruler is easily damaged in the sterilization process. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to propose the use of a disposable Fox ruler. The confection is carried out in a simple way with wooden toothpicks joined by cyanoacrylate glue, following the same shape as the conventional one, but with the additional advantage of being made in an individual size according to the upper edge. The proposed disposable Fox ruler makes it possible to obtain the parallelism of the upper wax roller with the bipupillary line and with the Camper plane. Therefore, the disposable device described in this article was able to perform the same functions as the conventional one, in a practical way, without risks of cross contamination and with low cost.


RESUMO Vários patógenos, incluindo SARS-CoV-2, são capazes de permanecer viáveis em superfícies durante dias, o que favorece a contaminação cruzada. Medidas preventivas são essenciais para prevenir infecções e controlar a propagação da COVID- 19. A régua de Fox é um dispositivo essencial no planejamento clínico de próteses totais e é inevitável o contato com os fluidos orais do paciente, durante seu manejo. Apesar de sua importância, a régua de Fox convencional de policarbonato é facilmente danificada com o processo de esterilização. Portanto, o objetivo deste artigo é propor a utilização de uma régua Fox descartável. A confecção é feita de forma simples com palitos de madeira unidos por cola de cianoacrilato, seguindo o mesmo formato do convencional, mas com a vantagem adicional de ser produzida em tamanho individualizado de acordo com o rebordo superior. A régua Fox descartável proposta permite obter o paralelismo do rolete de cera superior com a linha bipupilar e com o plano de Camper. Portanto, o dispositivo descartável descrito neste artigo foi capaz de desempenhar as mesmas funções do convencional, de forma prática, sem riscos de contaminação cruzada e com baixo custo.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the dental equipment microbial contamination and to test different disinfectants, collaborating with the protocols control of cross infection in dental care. Methods: Samples were collected from dental equipment (syringes; auxiliary table; reflector), cultured in Petri plates with Brain Heart Agar (for bacteria) and Sabourad Agar (for fungi) culture medium. After collection of the initial samples, the surfaces were randomly divided and disinfected with the following products: ethanol 70% (A70); 5% chlorhexidine (CHX5) and, glucoprotamina 0.5% (GLP0,5). New sample collections were made from the same locations described above (final samples). Results: No disinfectant product tested was able to eliminate all microbial forms (bacteria and fungi) surfaces. For bacteria, the antimicrobial activity was higher with the ethanol 70%, followed by 5% chlorhexidine and glucoprotamina 0.5%. For fungi, the 5% chlorhexidine had the best effect, followed by ethanol 70% and glucoprotamina 0.5%. Conclusion: The study confirmed the contamination of surfaces of dental equipment and the importance of disinfection for infection control in the dental clinic. Through this study, no antimicrobial agent tested was 100% effective in eliminating microorganisms present in the dental clinic surfaces.


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a contaminação microbiana em equipamentos odontológicos e testar diferentes agentes desinfetantes, colaborando com os protocolos de controle de infecção cruzada nos atendimentos odontológicos. Métodos: Foram coletadas amostras de equipamentos odontológicos (seringas tríplices; mesa auxiliar; refletor), semeadas em placas de Petri com meios de cultura ágar cérebro coração (para bactérias) e ágar Sabourad (para fungos). Após as coletas das amostras iniciais, as superfícies foram aleatoriamente divididas e desinfetadas com os seguintes produtos: álcool etílico 70% (A70); clorexidina alcoólica 5% (CHX5); e, glucoprotamina 0,5% (GLP0,5). Foram realizadas as coletas finais das amostras, dos mesmos locais descritos acima. Resultados: Nenhum produto desinfetante testado foi capaz de eliminar todas as formas microbianas (bactérias e fungos) das superfícies. Para bactérias, a ação antimicrobiana foi superior com o uso do álcool etílico 70%, seguido da clorexidina alcoólica 5% e da glucoprotamina 0,5%. Para fungos, a clorexidina alcoólica 5% teve o melhor efeito, seguido do álcool etílico 70% e da glucoprotamina 0,5%. Conclusão: O estudo confirmou a contaminação das superfícies dos equipamentos dentais e a importância da desinfecção para o controle de infecção na clínica odontológica. Através deste estudo, nenhum agente antimicrobiano testado foi 100% efetivo na eliminação dos microrganismos presentes nas superfícies odontológicas.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic imposed restrictive measures on dentistry in different regions of the world, ranging from stoppage of care to only permission for urgent and emergency dental services. Thus, new biosafety guidelines for resuming activities, whether in single dental offices, large clinics or dental education activities, are urgently required. In this sense, herein, guidelines that incorporate common points of the main protocols found in the literature for the resumption of dental activities at their different levels, whether in the scope of care or education, are presented. Furthermore, we present the incorporation of measures that allow an increase in the level of biosafety, such as the control of the dental team, the inclusion in the history of conjunctivitis as a possible alert for COVID-19, and the use of the pulse oximeter to assess the risk of silent hypoxemia, which may indicate a complication of COVID-19. In addition, new perspectives for directing research and innovation for biosafety in dentistry are discussed.
