Objectives: Analyze the results of a Permanent Health Education process for the control of Healthcare Associated Infections from the survey of training needs of workers in a hospital Emergency and Emergency Unit. Method: Qualitative study carried out with eight professionals from this unit, which consisted of three moments: 1. Focus Group to identify theoretical-practical experiences of workers with infections and training needs related to the subject; 2. Workshops on Permanent Education in Health to build knowledge about the needs raised; and 3. Evaluation of the educational process with a new Focus Group. The audios were transcribed and analyzed using the Discourse of the Collective Subject technique. Results: Participants are aware of these infections and try to implement preventive actions daily, but several factors present themselves as obstacles to carrying out these actions, such as lack of information, communication, and care, in addition to the heavy workload. Final Considerations: The workshops proved to be an important problem-solving tool for reflection on Infections and their prevention. As such, it is possible to change practice through professionals’ reflective process stimulated by Permanent Education in Health, with the promotion of significant learning and co-management of group work processes.
