Resumo:
This project aimed to provide a better understanding of the concepts, definitions and standards
with which biosecurity is conducted in the scenario of the Universidade Federal de Campina
Grande, Campus Cajazeiras, in order to avoid or eliminate potential and future occupational
hazards. The biosecurity education should be addressed in a broader context in the training of
undergraduate courses in health, since the content is discussed succinctly in programs and
different hourly loads and consequently, the acquired knowledge is insufficient for the
academic training of students from health, such as the neglect of care of their own health and
use of PPE. The research aims at investigating the knowledge of students of undergraduate
nursing and medicine on Biosecurity, aiming specifically analyze the knowledge of the
students about the standards, occupational hazards, notification and prophylaxis for
occupational accident; identification of concomitant use of PPE by students of nursing and
medicine in the hospital environment. The research took place in two locations, the first
scenario conducted at Hospital Regional de Cajazeiras (HRC) located in the hinterland of
Paraiba, and the second at the Universidade Federal de Campina Grande - PB on the Street
Sergio Moreira de Figueiredo, Casas Populares. We used a semi-structured questionnaire used
in exploratory studies, with a quantitative approach where the sample consisted of 25 students
of the Nursing and Medicine, 14 Medicine students and 11 nursing students. From the data
obtained by the results and discussion, we can conclude that students in some way, know
what it means to biosecurity, but some still have difficulties in recognizing its importance.
The early periods of both courses show a bit of immaturity to identify the hospital as a critical
sector, being necessary an approach prior and continuing of health education, particularly
focused on the theme, always aiming at the prevention of occupational hazards.
