Resumo: This study aimed to identify, among nursing workers from four hospitals in the region of Ribeirão Preto-SP, Brazil, victims of occupational accidents with cutting and piercing material, who were sent for evaluation at a service specialized in treating infectious diseases, individuals who were contaminated and the conduct adopted as a result of the accidents. This is a descriptive field research. The sample consisted of 30 subjects and data were collected by consulting the workers' medical files. The results showed that none of the workers had been contaminated by HBV, HCV or HIV. However, it was observed that only 23.33% of them had kept all the scheduled appointments in order to verify a possible serum conversion. Concerning the conducts adopted as a result of the accident, the use of chemoprophylaxis was recommended in 76.67% of the cases, serological tests in 100% and immunization against Hepatitis in 9.99%. Due to the high occurrence of percutaneous accidents, according to official estimates from other countries, it was concluded that more attention must be given to the prevention of these accidents, as well as to the strict follow-up of workers after occupational exposure.

Se trata de una investigación de campo de carácter descriptivo. La muestra estuvo constituida por 30 sujetos y los datos fueron recolectados a través de consulta al informe médico de los trabajadores. Los resultados revelaron que ninguno de los trabajadores fue contaminado por el virus HBV, HCV o HIV, además se observó que solamente 23,33% de los trabajadores comparecieron a todos los controles programados para la verificación de una posible suero-conversión. En relación con las conductas tomadas con relación al accidente se indicó el uso de la quimioprofilaxia en 76.67% de los casos, exámenes serológicos en 100% de los casos e inmunización para Hepatitis en solamente 9.99% de los casos. Debido a la gran ocurrencia de accidentes percutáneos según estimativas oficiales de otros países, concluimos que una mayor atención debe ser dada a la prevención de accidentes así como también al rigor del seguimiento después de la exposición ocupacional.Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar dentre os trabalhadores de enfermagem, de quatro hospitais da região de Ribeirão Preto-SP, aqueles que foram acometidos por acidente de trabalho com material pérfuro-cortante e encaminhados para avaliação a um serviço especializado no tratamento de doenças infecciosas, os que foram contaminados e as condutas adotadas diante do acidente. Trata-se de pesquisa de campo de caráter descritivo. A amostra foi constituída por 30 sujeitos e os dados foram coletados através de consulta ao prontuário médico dos trabalhadores. Os resultados revelaram que nenhum dos trabalhadores foi contaminado pelos vírus HBV, HCV, ou HIV, no entanto, foi observado que apenas 23,33% dos trabalhadores compareceram a todos os retornos agendados para verificação de possível soroconversão. Em relação às condutas tomadas diante do acidente, foi indicado o uso de quimioprofilaxia em 76,67% dos casos, exames sorológicos em 100% dos casos e imunização contra hepatite em 9,99% dos casos. Devido à grande ocorrência de acidentes percutâneos, segundo estimativas oficiais de outros países, concluímos que maior atenção deva ser direcionada para a prevenção desses acidentes, bem como ao rigor do seguimento pós-exposição ocupacional.Universidade de São Paulo.
