Resumo: | Objectives: To identify the main risk factors related to skin problems related to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)/vestments and the main preventive measures. Methodology: Quantitative descriptive exploratory research, data collected in January 2022 with professionals working during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic who underwent the use of PPE/garment at a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Results: 84 professionals were interviewed, being 56 (66.7%) female and 28 (33.3%) males. The white race (60%) and the age group between 20 and 30 years (44%) prevailed. Nursing professionals were the most affected (50%). Regarding the signs and symptoms reported during the use of PPE, 71 (85%) reported the occurrence of redness in the skin, 30 (36%) pressure on the skin, 55 (65%) change in humidity, 51 (60%) reported pain or burning and 24 (28%) skin changes that may have been secondary to one or more risk factors mentioned above. Conclusion: The pandemic scenario generated additional risk for persistence of risk factors due to the prolonged use of PPE/vestments as it determined their continuous use for long periods and sometimes without respecting safe prevention measures. The maintenance of risk factors (pressure, friction and humidity) was observed during the use of the PPE necessary for protection with a view to maintaining care. Therefore, there is a need for health education of the health team on the main preventive measures that must be carried out in order to avoid changes in the integrity of the skin, which is fundamental for the health of the worker. |

Metodología: Investigación cuantitativa descriptiva exploratoria, datos recolectados en enero de 2022 con profesionales que actuaron durante la pandemia del coronavirus (COVID-19) que se sometieron al uso de EPP/vestuarios en un hospital universitario de Río de Janeiro. Resultados: fueron entrevistados 84 profesionales, siendo 56 (66,7%) del sexo femenino y 28 (33,3%) del sexo masculino. Predominó la raza blanca (60%) y el grupo de edad entre 20 y 30 años (44%). Los profesionales de enfermería fueron los más afectados (50%). En cuanto a los signos y síntomas relatados durante el uso de EPP, 71 (85%) relataron la aparición de enrojecimiento en la piel, 30 (36%) presión en la piel, 55 (65%) cambio de humedad, 51 (60%) informaron dolor o ardor y 24 (28%) cambios en la piel que pueden haber sido secundarios a uno o más de los factores de riesgo mencionados anteriormente. Conclusión: El escenario de pandemia generó riesgo adicional por la persistencia de factores de riesgo por el uso prolongado de EPP/vestuarios, pues determinó el uso continuo de estos por largos períodos y en ocasiones sin respetar las medidas de prevención seguras. Se observó el mantenimiento de los factores de riesgo (presión, fricción y humedad) durante el uso de los EPI necesarios para la protección con el fin de mantener el cuidado. Por lo tanto, existe la necesidad de educación sanitaria del equipo de salud sobre las principales medidas preventivas que se deben realizar para evitar alteraciones en la integridad de la piel, fundamental para la salud del trabajador.Objetivo: identificar os principais fatores de risco relacionados aos problemas de pele relacionados ao uso de equipamento de proteção individual (EPI)/paramentação e as principais medidas preventivas. Metodologia: Pesquisa exploratória descritiva quantitativa, dados coletados em janeiro de 2022 com profissionais atuantes durante a pandemia de coronavírus (COVID-19) que se submeteram ao uso de EPI/paramentação em um hospital universitário no Rio de Janeiro. Resultados: Foram entrevistados 84 profissionais, sendo 56 (66,7%) feminino e 28 (33,3%) masculino. Prevaleceram a raça branca (60%) e a faixa etária entre 20 e 30 anos (44%). Profissionais de enfermagem foram os mais acometidos (50%). Acerca dos sinais e sintomas relatados durante uso de EPI, 71 (85%) afirmaram ocorrência de vermelhidão na pele, 30 (36%) pressão sobre a pele, 55 (65%) alteração da umidade, 51 (60%) referiram dor ou ardência e 24 (28%) alterações na pele que podem ter sido secundárias a um ou mais fatores de risco referidos anteriormente. Conclusão: O cenário pandêmico gerou risco adicional para persistência de fatores de risco devido ao uso prolongado de EPI/paramentação, pois determinou uso contínuo destes por longos períodos e por vezes sem respeitar medidas seguras de prevenção. Observou-se a manutenção dos fatores de risco (pressão, fricção e umidade) durante utilização dos EPI necessários para a proteção com vistas à manutenção da assistência. Portanto, há necessidade de educação em saúde da equipe de saúde sobre as principais medidas preventivas que devem ser realizadas a fim de evitar alterações da integridade da pele - fundamental para a saúde do trabalhador.Research, Society and Development2022-03-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2772010.33448/rsd-v11i4.27720Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 4; e50711427720Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 4; e50711427720Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 4; e507114277202525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/27720/24141Copyright (c) 2022 Jéssica Fabiola dos Santos Paula; Ana Rosa de Souza Pontes; Camila Castanho Cardinelli; Karina Chamma Di Pierohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPaula, Jéssica Fabiola dos Santos Pontes, Ana Rosa de Souza Cardinelli, Camila Castanho Di Piero, Karina Chamma 2022-03-27T17:17:09Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/27720Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:45:21.178899Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
