Resumo: | The aim of this study was to identify the profile and frequency of infections of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) among healthcare staff at reference hospital for treating the disease. This is a cross-sectional study that used data from COVID-19 Respiratory Syndrome Notification Records and the results obtained by RT-qPCR and Rapid Test. Absolute and relative frequencies were used to describe the sample. For comparisons between positive and negative cases, the chi-square test with Yates continuity correction was deployed, and were considered statistically significant the values that presented p<0,05. A total of 630 professionals were tested, and the highest percentage of confirmed cases was found among female professionals, aged below 40 years, with direct contact with COVID-19 patients, who performed at least one test for SARS-CoV-2; moreover, at the time of testing, headache, sore throat, and myalgia were the most reported symptoms. Eighty-one (81) positive tests were identified. A relationship between symptomology and the number of reagent cases to SARS-CoV-2 was found (p=0.001). Although not significant, it is noteworthy the number of positive cases among female professionals and in those who work in the private clinics. In sum, monitoring and identifying positive SARS-CoV-2 is essential to assist prevention efforts against virus dissemination, as well as to establish safety routines for healthcare professionals. |

Estudio transversal en el que se utilizaron datos del Formulario de Notificación de Síndrome Respiratorio COVID-19, y se realizaron los exámenes RT-qPCR y Prueba Rápida. Se calcularon las frecuencias absolutas y relativas utilizadas para describir el perfil de la muestra. Para la comparación entre casos confirmados y no confirmados de COVID-19, se realizó la prueba de chi-cuadrado con corrección de continuidad, considerándose estadísticamente significativos los valores que presentaron p <0.05. Se evaluaron un total de 630 profesionales, con el mayor porcentaje de casos confirmados de profesionales mujeres, menores de 40 años, que trabajaron directamente con el paciente, realización de al menos una prueba para el SARS-CoV-2 y con más frecuencia en el momento de la prueba para detectar síntomas de dolor de cabeza, dolor de garganta y mialgia. Del total de 81 pruebas positivas que se identificaron. La prueba de asociación identificó una relación entre la sintomatología y el número de síntomas de casos reactivos para el SARS-CoV-2 (p=0,001). Aunque no significativo, destaca el número de mujeres profesionales y que trabajan en el sector clínico con resultados reactivos. El seguimiento y identificación de casos reactivos al SARS-CoV-2 es esencial para ayudar a prevenir la propagación del virus, así como para establecer mecanismos de prevención y seguimiento de la salud de los trabajadores de los servicios de salud.O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar o perfil e a frequência de casos rastreados de infecção pelo novo coronavírus (COVID-19) entre profissionais de saúde de uma unidade hospitalar referência no atendimento à doença. Trata-se de um estudo transversal em que foram utilizados os dados da Ficha de Notificação de Síndrome Respiratória COVID-19 e realizado os exames de RT-qPCR e Teste Rápido. Foram calculadas as frequências absolutas e relativas, usadas para descrever o perfil da amostra. Para comparação entre casos confirmados ou não da COVID-19, foi realizado o teste qui-quadrado com correção de continuidade de Yates, sendo considerados estatisticamente significativos os valores que apresentaram p <0,05. Foram testados 630 profissionais, com maior percentual de casos confirmados de profissionais do sexo feminino, idade abaixo de 40 anos, com atuação direta ao paciente, realização de pelo menos um teste para SARS-CoV-2 e maior frequência na hora da testagem dos sintomas de cefaleia, dor de garganta e mialgia. Do total, foram identificados 81 exames positivos. No teste de associação, identificou-se relação entre a sintomatologia e o número de sintomas dos casos reagentes para SARS-CoV-2 (p = 0,001). Apesar de não significativo, destaca-se o número de profissionais do sexo feminino e que atuam no setor de clínicas com resultados reagentes. Monitorar e identificar os casos reagentes para o SARS-CoV-2 é essencial para auxiliar na prevenção da disseminação do vírus, bem como estabelecer mecanismos de prevenção e monitoramento da saúde do trabalhador do serviço de saúde.
