Biosafety in the practice of dental-hospital articles processing

Objective : To identify the use of biosafety measures in the processing of dental and hospital articles by dental academics. Method : A descriptive study carried out at a Higher Education Institution from February to March of the year 2018. Data collection was done using an observation instrument and a questionnaire, and for the analyzes, descriptive statistics and the Subject's Discourse Collective. Opinion nº 137012. Results : 46 students participated in the study. The importance of correct processing is knowledge of academics and they see the processing of items such as an action of great significance in patient safety, professional and the institution involved in the teaching of care for oral health, and a procedure to reduce cases of infections. Conclusion : The measures are related to the use of personal protective equipment and to the processing of articles (cleaning and disinfection) based on institutional manuals. or Does the preparation of the solution and the residence time of the immersed article follow the manufacturer's instructions? Do you clean and disinfect equipment with chemicals?


INTRODUCTION
In recent years, patient safety has become a highly discussed issue within the health area, the quality of care. 1  In addition to patient-related risks, MSC practitioners, too, are exposed to occupational hazards. The adoption of biosecurity measures is necessary for professionals and health sectors exposed to these risks. Biosafety is of a multidisciplinary, doctrinal, normative nature, of reducing behaviors and eliminating risk that acts through the adoption of priorities and strategies. 3  With regard to the processing of medicaldental-hospital articles, MSC carries out everything from cleaning, inspection and selection (integrity, functionality and packaging of sterile barrier) to the distribution of these sterilized products to the units that will consume these instrumental. 5 According to Collegial Board Resolution 15 of March 2012, these practices provide quality care and security for both the users and the professionals involved. [6][7] The training of professionals aware of the relevance of biosafety measures in the work process is an important point that has been addressed in undergraduate courses. In the course of dentistry, education in biosafety and cross-infection control is fundamental for training based on protocols and routines, especially when it is considered that dental schools work with a considerable number of patients, professionals and academics in the same physical space, in the dental clinic, which has repercussions in a greater difficulty in the control of the infections in these environment. [8][9][10] The objective of this study was to identify the use of biosafety measures in the processing of dental articles by dental students in a higher education institution. In this study, the CSD results were presented in a thematic category that was followed by their respective central ideas (CI), sequenced by selected excerpts from the verbal material from the individual testimonials that best described their content and discussion.

This
The study considered the ethical and legal aspects of Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council, being approved with the opinion nº 137012.

RESULTS
A total of 46 dental students were studied, of which 80% were female, with a mean age of 23 years (minimum of 20 and maximum of 29 years). 41.30% of the students were in the 8th period, 30,40% were in the 9th period and 28,30% were the 7th period of the dentistry course.
Regarding the conditions of processing conditions (cleaning and disinfection of articles), all the observations obtained a value greater than 50% of agreement with the guidelines required by the manual used, with 67% being the lowest concordance value (Table 01).  there is no determination of a specific pH for these products.
