Avaliação das condutas de biossegurança no laboratório de análises clínicas do instituto de saúde Elpídio de Almeida em Campina Grande - PB.

Abstract

Biosecurity is a set of actions aimed at preventing, minimizing or eliminating the risks that come with the activities of research, production, education, technology development and services. Its objectives point toward human and animal health, the preservation of the environment and the quality of results. Specific Biosecurity measures must be adopted by laboratories regarding transportation, storage and handling of pathogenic microorganisms in order to improve labor safety, exemplified in the use of personal protective equipment. The general objective of this research consisted of an evaluation of Biosecurity measures in the Laboratory of Clinical Analysis in the Elpidio de Almeida Institute of Health in Campina Grande / PB. On the other hand, the specific objectives comprehended: an evaluation of the laboratory routine through the application of interviews with employees regarding their knowledge of Biosecurity measures. This was aimed at identifying differences between the knowledge of Biochemical Pharmacists, technicians and trainees in relation to the laboratory Biosecurity measures. This study was conducted in the form of an exploratory research, utilizing a qualitative approach within a sample of 10 participants, including pharmacists, lab technicians and trainees who agreed to take part in the research by signing the Instrument of Free and Clarified Consent - TCLE, according to resolution 196 / 96 of the National Health Council (CNS). Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire with objective and subjective questions. The survey results indicate in general aspects, that all of the subjects considered the practice of Biosecurity important in their work environment and stated a desire to receive more information about this topic. At the same time, it was found that knowledge of this issue continues to lag in some ways no less important than others, given that there are still ongoing misguided approaches on Biosecurity standards.
