- Diagnosis to improve occupational safety in a hemodialysis service Larissa Gomes da Silva Lins Viviane de Araújo Gouveia Maria da Conceição Cavalcanti de Lira Cristiane Macedo Vieira Mariana Luiza Oliveira Santos Salud Epidemiology Renal Dialysis Health Personnel Occupational Exposure Containment of Biohazards Background and Objectives: The exposure of health professionals to occupational risks due to reduced risk management can interfere with their work capacity and have a negative influence on public health. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the biosafety risks in the hemodialysis sector of a university hospital (UH). Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study with a quantitative approach, carried out with 20 nursing professionals from August to October 2019, in a high-complexity university hospital. A checklist was applied, and its data was analyzed using the Epi-info software. The research complied with ethical aspects and was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Hospital das Clínicas de Pernambuco. Results: The occupational risks of nursing professionals were evaluated in the hemodialysis sector, where 90% of workers are female. The physical and mental symptoms reported by professionals were characterized according to the time of exposure to risks in the sector. Individuals who worked for more than 10 years on hemodialysis had a higher frequency of symptoms, 64.44%, and 20.14% experienced fatigue. Regarding the frequency of exposure, it was highlighted that 31.36% of professionals were more exposed to ergonomic risks, associated with insufficient number of workers, exposure to a stressful environment and work overload. Conclusion: The research showed that nursing professionals are exposed to various types of risks and susceptible to occupational accidents. Health education is an essential tool for reducing these events in the hemodialysis service. 2020 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570469752007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752007/570469752007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752007/movil https://doi.org/10.17058/reci.v10i4.14954 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5704 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção application/pdf Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.10
