RESUMO
A hepatite B é passível de prevenção através de imunização e apresenta maior risco de transmissão, após acidente percutâneo, se comparada a hepatite C e ao HIV. Objetivou-se determinar a cobertura vacinal e a situação sorológica para hepatite B entre alunos de um curso de graduação em medicina. Trata-se de estudo epidemiológico de abordagem quantitativa. Utilizou-se instrumento de coleta de dados estruturado, realizado análise descritiva e cálculo de prevalência. A prevalência de acidentes envolvendo contato com material biológico foi de 37,2%; 88,6% dos alunos acidentados informaram ter completado o esquema de vacinação para hepatite B e apenas 47,5% realizaram a sorologia correspondente. A possibilidade de ocorrência de acidentes com material biológico entre graduandos e cobertura vacinal insuficiente reforça a importância da orientação sobre a imunização e a avaliação da soroconversão para hepatite B, uma vez que esta exposição constitui fator de risco sabidamente associado a transmissão ocupacional da hepatite B.
ABSTRACT
Hepatitis B is preventable through immunization and has a higher risk of transmission after a percutaneous accident when compared to hepatitis C and HIV. This study determines the vaccine coverage and hepatitis B serological situation among students of an undergraduate medical program. This is an epidemiological study with quantitative approach. A structured data collection instrument was used. Descriptive analysis and prevalence were computed. The prevalence of accidents involving biological material was 37.2% 88.6% of the injured students reported they had completed the Hepatitis B vaccine scheme and only 47.5% were submitted to the corresponded serology. The probability of accidents with biological material among undergraduates and insufficient vaccine coverage reinforces the importance of providing guidance on immunization and evaluation of seroconversion for Hepatitis B since exposure to it is a risk factor associated with occupational transmission of Hepatitis B.
