Resumo: | Considering the importance of adopting biosafety measures since the initial training of dental surgeons, this study aimed to describe the prevalence, the distribution and to verify the attitudes of Dentistry students in relation to prevention and management of accidents with sharp cutting objects. This was a quantitative-qualitative observational study with 58 undergraduates from a Dentistry course in Rio Grande do Sul. Questionnaires and participant observations were used. We verified a 31% prevalence of accidents involving biological material. The most frequent sites were the periodontics clinic and the sterilization center. Periodontal probes, ultrasonic tips and endodontic files were the most involved instruments. We identified failures in the notification process and limitations in the proper use of PPE, especially in the sterilization lab. Aspects such as vaccination, hand washing and disinfection routines require follow-up. Disrespect for biosafety standards and the lack of attention were important risk factors observed. The findings demand investments in ongoing education to raise awareness of the academic community, which is indispensable for accidents’ prevention and preservation of the future dental surgeons’ health. |

Tratou-se de estudo observacional quanti-qualitativo com 58 concluintes de um curso de graduação do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram utilizados um questionário e um roteiro de observação participante. Constatou-se prevalência de 31% de acidentes envolvendo material biológico. Os locais de maior ocorrência foram a clínica de periodontia e a central de esterilização. Sondas periodontais, pontas ultrassônicas e limas endodônticas foram os instrumentais mais envolvidos. Identificaram-se falhas no processo de notificação e limitações no uso adequado de EPI, especialmente na central de esterilização. Aspectos como cobertura vacinal, lavagem das mãos e rotinas de desinfecção necessitam acompanhamento. O desrespeito às normas de biossegurança e a desatenção figuraram como importantes fatores de risco observados. Os achados demandam investimentos em educação continuada com vistas à conscientização da comunidade acadêmica, indispensável para a prevenção de acidentes e preservação da saúde dos futuros cirurgiões-dentistas.Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico2018-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/59510.30979/rev.abeno.v18i4.595Revista da ABENO; Vol. 18 No. 4 (2018); 21-30Revista da ABENO; Vol. 18 Núm. 4 (2018); 21-30Revista da ABENO; v. 18 n. 4 (2018); 21-302595-02741679-5954reponame:Revista da ABENO (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico (ABENO)instacron:ABENOporenghttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/595/486https://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/595/487Copyright (c) 2018 Revista da ABENOinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMazutti, William JoséFreddo, Silvia LetíciaLucietto, Deison Alencar2019-01-30T18:46:50Zoai:ojs.revabeno.emnuvens.com.br:article/595Revistahttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/indexONGhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/oairevabeno@gmail.com2595-02741679-5954opendoar:2023-01-13T09:48:06.269968Revista da ABENO (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico (ABENO)false |
