Resumo: Abstract Correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential considering the global context of the COVID-19 pandemic, a respiratory tract disease transmitted through droplets and/or aerosols, which can be deposited on objects and surfaces during speaking, coughing or sneezing. As a means to control dissemination, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended several biosafety measures to avoid contagion, such as social distancing and mask use. This is an observational, cross-sectional study conducted with literate Brazilians who answered the electronic questionnaire prepared by the authors. Forms were sent to participants from June to September 2020 via digital platforms. After tabulation, data underwent descriptive analysis using relative and absolute frequencies. A total of 214 Brazilians participated in the study, of which 76% were female and 34% male, aged 18 to 59 years old. Most participants understood how COVID-19 is disseminated and employed preventive measures such as using masks in public places. Nonetheless, after the pandemic, about half of the sample claimed they will forgone wearing a tissue mask when in public if they have a respiratory infection. Washing hands with soap and water and using hand sanitizer were the mains lessons learned. Finally, studies show that disease spread decreases when all biosafety strategies are used together

Finally, studies show that disease spread decreases when all biosafety strategies are used togetherEs fundamental el uso correcto de los equipos de protección personal (EPP), ya que el mundo se enfrenta a la pandemia provocada por el covid-19, una enfermedad que afecta el tracto respiratorio y se propaga por medio de gotitas y / o aerosoles, que pueden depositarse en objetos y superficies cuando las personas hablan, tosen o estornudan. Para controlar su propagación, la Organización Mundial de la Salud recomendó varias medidas de bioseguridad para evitar los contagios, como la distancia social y el uso de mascarillas. Se trata de un estudio observacional, transversal descriptivo, realizado con brasileños alfabetizados que respondieron el cuestionario electrónico elaborado por las autoras. Los formularios se enviaron a los participantes en el período de junio a septiembre de 2020 a través de plataformas digitales. Se tabularon los datos obtenidos y, posteriormente, se realizó un análisis descriptivo utilizando frecuencias relativa y absoluta En el estudio participaron 214 ciudadanos, de los cuales el 76% eran mujeres y el 24% hombres, predominantemente entre los 18 y 59 años. La mayoría de los participantes entendieron cómo se propaga el covid-19 y llevaron a cabo medidas preventivas, como el uso de la mascarilla en lugares públicos. Pero casi la mitad de la muestra afirmó que cuando pase la pandemia no usaría mascarilla de tejido al salir si están con infección respiratoria. Las principales lecciones aprendidas de la pandemia fueron el lavado de manos con agua y jabón y la limpieza con alcohol. Finalmente, se sabe que la disminución en la propagación de la enfermedad ocurre cuando se utilizan juntas todas las estrategias de bioseguridad.A utilização correta dos equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI) é essencial, visto que o mundo enfrenta a pandemia originada pela covid-19, doença transmitida por via respiratória mediante gotículas e/ou aerossóis, os quais podem depositar-se em objetos e superfícies durante a fala, tosse ou espirro. Assim, como forma de controle da disseminação, a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) preconizou várias medidas de biossegurança para evitar o contágio, como o distanciamento social e o uso de máscaras. Este é um estudo observacional, do tipo transversal descritivo, com brasileiros alfabetizados que responderam ao questionário eletrônico elaborado pelas autoras. Os formulários foram encaminhados aos participantes no período de junho a setembro de 2020 via plataformas digitais. Os dados obtidos foram tabulados e, posteriormente, foi realizada análise descritiva por meio de frequências relativas e absolutas. Participaram do estudo 214 cidadãos, 76% do sexo feminino e 24% masculino, com faixa etária predominante entre 18 e 59 anos. A maioria dos participantes compreendia a forma de disseminação da covid-19 e adotava medidas preventivas, como o uso da máscara em locais públicos. Apesar disso, após a pandemia, aproximadamente metade da amostra alega que não usará a máscara de tecido ao sair se estiver com infecção respiratória. Os principais aprendizados com a pandemia foram a lavagem das mãos com água e sabão e higienização com álcool. Por fim, sabe-se que a diminuição da propagação da doença ocorre quando todas as estratégias de biossegurança são empregadas de forma conjunta.SESAB2021-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rbsp.sesab.ba.gov.br/index.php/rbsp/article/view/330710.22278/2318-2660.2021.v45.n4.a3307Revista Baiana de Saúde Pública; v. 45 n. 4 (2021); 112-1242318-26600100-023310.22278/2318-2660.2021.v45.N4reponame:Revista Baiana de Saúde Pública (Online)instname:Secretaria da Saúde do Estado da Bahia (Sesab)instacron:IBICTporhttps://rbsp.sesab.ba.gov.br/index.php/rbsp/article/view/3307/3083Copyright (c) 2021 Revista Baiana de Saúde Públicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPessoa, Isabela Maria Braga SlcauserSilva, Dayane Jhenifer RibeiroCampos, Kerolynne SoaresFerreira, Grasiele Cristine2023-02-15T19:00:15Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/3307Revistahttps://rbsp.sesab.ba.gov.br/index.php/rbspPUBhttps://rbsp.sesab.ba.gov.br/index.php/rbsp/oai||saude.revista@saude.ba.gov.br|| rbsp.saude@saude.ba.gov.br2318-26600100-0233opendoar:2024-03-06T12:58:13.425712Revista Baiana de Saúde Pública (Online) - Secretaria da Saúde do Estado da Bahia (Sesab)false
