Os problemas ambientais estão intrinsecamente ligados aos fatores de risco à saúde da população e às necessidades atuais de preservação do meio ambiente, sendo os resíduos sólidos gerados pelos serviços de saúde agentes com alto potencial de contaminação biológica, química ou radioativa, os quais necessitam de tratamento especial quanto à seleção, acondicionamento e destino apropriado, fazendo-se imprescindível a gestão e o gerenciamento conscientes desses resíduos em decorrência dos perigos que propiciam aos seres vivos e ao meio ambiente. Objetivou-se analisar a gestão e o gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos dos serviços de saúde na cidade de Campina Grande – PB, em cinco unidades hospitalares públicas. A metodologia utilizada tratou de um estudo exploratório, descritivo de corte transverso, bibliográfico e de campo, realizado na cidade de Campina Grande-PB com os sujeitos responsáveis pela gestão e gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos hospitalares no município. Como parte dos resultados, identificamos que: os gestores sabem da existência da legislação ambiental, mas falta aprimoramento do conteúdo vigente para organização de política institucional de resíduos; os resíduos são identificados e a coleta e acondicionamento ocorrem, parcialmente, dentro das normas ambientais nos serviços hospitalares, existindo, em alguns dos hospitais, politica de reaproveitamento já implementada com destinação adequada dos resíduos; os gestores têm ciência dos riscos ambientais que os resíduos produzem e alegam haver dificuldades de manejo e que há treinamento periódico dos profissionais que lidam com resíduos sólidos nos hospitais estudados. Contudo, há necessidade de mais aprofundamento teórico e prático para gestão e gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos dos serviços de saúde, destacando-se os seguintes pontos: existe sobrecarga de trabalho para os gerentes dos serviços o que impacta no processo de gestão; a gestão e o gerenciamento ocorrem de forma diferenciada nas instituições analisadas quanto à obediência à legislação ambiental; observou-se que os gestores dos hospitais atendem parcialmente aos critérios de coleta e acondicionamento propostos pelas Resoluções nº 358/05 do CONAMA e a Resolução nº 306/04 da ANVISA; percebeu-se que em algumas das instituições do estudo não há política institucional de reaproveitamento dos resíduos sólidos já implementada e a destinação final é a incineração e o aterro sanitário municipal, sem tratamento prévio dos resíduos na fonte geradora. Recomenda-se: o desenvolvimento de ações frequentes de capacitação e educacional continuada para os profissionais que trabalham com os RSS; a elaboração e implementação de Plano de Gerenciamento dos Resíduos Sólidos dos Serviços de Saúde - PGRSS; a conscientização dos profissionais para seguirem as orientações estabelecidas pela legislação ambiental; implantação de uma política de reaproveitamento dos RSS mais ampla dos reutilizáveis e recicláveis; correto acondicionamento e destino final dos RSS, sobretudo resíduos radioativos, infectantes e perfurocortantes; implantação, na própria instituição, de sistemas de tratamento para os resíduos infectantes e perfurocortantes, tornando-os inertes.
Environmental problems are intrinsically linked to the health risk factors of the population and to the current needs of preservation of the environment, with solid waste being generated by health services agents with high potential for biological, chemical or radioactive contamination, which require treatment especially in terms of selection, packaging and proper destination, making it essential to consciously manage and manage these wastes as a result of the dangers they pose to living beings and the environment. The objective was to analyze the management and management of solid waste from health services in the city of Campina Grande - PB, in five public hospitals. The methodology used was an exploratory, descriptive cross-sectional, bibliographical and field study, carried out in the city of Campina Grande-PB with the subjects responsible for the management and management of hospital solid waste in the municipality. As part of the results, we identified that: managers know of the existence of environmental legislation, but lack of improvement of the current content for organization of institutional waste policy; the waste is identified and the collection and packaging takes place partially within the environmental norms in the hospital services, and in some of the hospitals there is a reuse policy already in place with adequate waste disposal; the managers are aware of the environmental risks that the waste produces and claim there are management difficulties and that there is periodic training of professionals who deal with solid waste in the hospitals studied. However, there is a need for more theoretical and practical deepening for the management and management of solid waste from health services, highlighting the following points: there is work overload for the managers of the services, which impacts on the management process; Management and management occur in a differentiated way in the analyzed institutions regarding compliance with environmental legislation; It was observed that hospital managers partially meet the collection and conditioning criteria proposed by CONAMA Resolutions 358/05 and ANVISA Resolution 306/04; It was noticed that in some of the institutions of the study there is no institutional policy for the reuse of solid waste already implemented and the final destination is the incineration and municipal landfill without previous treatment of the waste in the generating source. It is recommended: the development of frequent training and continuing educational actions for professionals working with RSS; The elaboration and implementation of the Solid Waste Management Plan of the Health Services - PGRSS; The awareness of professionals to follow the guidelines established by environmental legislation; Implementation of a policy of reusing the RSS of reusable and recyclable products; Correct packaging and final destination of RSS, especially radioactive, infectious and sharps-borne waste; Establishment of treatment systems for infectious and piercing-cutting residues, rendering them inert.

Full textHospital wastes are potentially dangerous because they may contain pathogens agents (or microorganisms), and this calls for proper management of such wastes. Therefore, the objective of this dissertation is to conduct the assessment of hospital waste management in the District of Santarém Hospital (HDS) Imaging Department, identifying what the needs are and the corrective measures to implement in order to provide an improved hospital waste global management system of that department and, consequently, of the HDS.HDS was chosen because it´s a hospital with a significant size and a leading role in the district of Santarém, which is why it is particularly important to know if the hospital waste is being subject to proper management, according to current legislation. This study also addresses the general situation of hospital waste in Portugal, and the legislation that is regulating them, while also addressing, in general, the Hospital Waste Management in Portugal as well as the Treatment Processes and Hospital Waste Producers Entities. It´s also made an analysis of impacts on health and the environment resulting from the method of managing of this type of waste, as well as a description of the international situation of this issue.

Full textThis study examined the medical waste management practices of Tygerberg Hospital. The researcher made use of both primary and secondaiy data. Since this was a is study, the analysis is essentially descriptive.The results of this study revealed that both general and medical wastes are generated in the hospital. Tygerberg Hospital does not quantify medical waste. Segregation of medical wastes into infectious medical waste and non-infectious medical waste is not conducted according to definite rules and standards. The hospital does not label infectious waste with Biohazard symbol. Separation of medical waste and municipal waste is however practiced to a satisfactory extent. Wheeled trolleys are used for on-site transportation of waste from the points of production (different wards) to the temporary storage area. Staff responsible for collecting medical waste use almost complete personal protective equipment. The results of this study indicated that off-site transportation of the hospital waste is undertaken by a private waste management company. Waste is transported daily and small pickups are mainly used by the waste management company for transporting the waste to an off-site area for treatment and disposal. The final disposal of the medical waste is done by the private waste management company. The main treatment method used in the final disposal of infectious waste is incineration. Non-infectious waste is disposed of using land disposal method. The hospital does not recycle medical waste materials except white office paper and mixed office paper and the use of empty containers of antiseptics for the collection and temporary storage of sharps.The hospital does not provide training for staff members on the health and environmental effects of infectious waste. The waste management company's workers have also not received any formal training with regards to medical waste management. The study showed that Tygerberg Hospital does not have a policy and plan in place for managing medical waste. There is no definite policy or plan for purchasing the necessary equipment and for providing the facilities for the correct management of medical waste in the hospital. There are also no policies and guidelines regarding the recycling of medical waste products. There are a number of problems the hospital faces in terms of medical waste management, including; lack of necessary rules, regulations and instructions on the different aspects of collection and disposal of waste, intermingling of hazardous wastes with domestic waste in the hospital sometimes, failure to quantify the waste generated in reliable records, lack of use of coloured bags by limiting the bags to only one colour for all waste, the absence of a dedicated waste manager, the supervisor in charge of general services has waste management as part of his job schedule, and there is no committee responsible for monitoring the management of medical waste. From the results of this study, it is obvious that medical waste management is not practiced according to the World Health Organisation's (WHO's) recommended standards. There are some areas where medical wastes are not properly managed. It is imperative for significant investment in the proper management of medical waste in order to reduce the health risk it poses.

Full textA logística inversa dos resíduos surge como uma importante atividade na minimização do impacto causado no meio ambiente. A produção de resíduos é uma das maiores preocupações existentes na atualidade. Sendo os hospitais uma grande fonte de produção de resíduos, é importante o seu tratamento que difere consoante os graus de perigosidade. O presente estudo tem como objetivo estudar as práticas de logística inversa dos resíduos, levadas a cabo pelos hospitais do distrito de Setúbal, em Portugal. Para a concretização deste objetivo utilizou-se o método quantitativo de recolha de dados, nomeadamente, um inquérito por questionário, enviado por correio eletrónico. O estudo engloba, para além de questões gerais sobre logística inversa, as etapas da gestão de resíduos, nomeadamente, a triagem e acondicionamento, a recolha e o transporte interno e o armazenamento interno. Conclui-se que a maioria das práticas decorre do imperativo legal, existindo ainda muito a fazer na área da logística inversa hospitalar. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que, de uma forma geral, é feito muito pouco para além do que é obrigatório por lei.
The reverse logistics of waste emerged as an important activity in minimizing the impact on the environment. The production of waste is one of the biggest concerns that exist today. Having in consideration that hospitals have a great responsibility in terms of waste production, it is important to grant that the waste is treated considering it’s classification due to the hazardousness level. The objective of this study is to investigate the several reverse logistics waste practices, carried out by hospitals, in Setúbal district, in Portugal. In order to fulfill the objective of the present study, it was used a quantitative data collection method, namely, questionnaires sent by electronic mail. Apart from general reverse logistics questions, this study also analyses questions related with the waste management step: sorting and waste conditioning, the waste collecting system, the internal transport and storage system. It is concluded that the majority of practices resumes itself to the legal requirements, and there is a lot of work to be done in this area. The results obtained, allow us to conclude that in general is done very little beyond what is legally required.

Full textOs hospitais humanos, hospitais veterinários, clínicas e consultórios odontológicos geram resíduos que podem causar riscos à saúde e ao meio ambiente, em determinadas circunstâncias. No Brasil as normas RDC 304/04 da ANVISA e a Resolução nº 358/05 do CONAMA, estabelecem as regras para a confecção de um plano de gerenciamento de resíduos de serviços de saúde de forma geral. Este trabalho foi feito baseado nas normas e revisões bibliográficas, e trata-se de um estudo de caso no Hospital Veterinário Universitário da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Com base nos dados coletados e com a legislação vigente o trabalho tem como um dos objetivos rever o plano de gerenciamento do hospital e propor mudanças caso sejam necessárias. Foi observado que os resíduos gerados em maior quantidade são os da classe A (infectantes) e classe D (domésticos) e que entre as inconformidades encontradas, os maiores problemas estavam na segregação e acondicionamento dessas classes de resíduos. Diante desses resultados e de observações durante o trabalho foram propostas mudanças, tanto no PGRSS quanto no modo de recolhimento dos resíduos e pontualmente no treinamento e fiscalização

Full textUsual practices in health stablishments, both human and animal, produce a considerable quantity of residues that potentially represents risks to health of the internal community and the population. These wastes demand special management, with or without treatment prior to the final destination. Consequently, the processing constitutes a vital topic to occupational safety of the employees who handling them, such as to the public health and environment. Thus, this study aimed to analyze aspects of the control of residues produced at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Goiás (HV/UFG). The waste was classified in four groups (GA, GB, GD and GE) accordling to its nature: infectious, chemical, common and drill-sharp, respectively. The evaluation of the residues management was performed using a checklist prepared in accordance with actual legislation and after its validation and application in all sectors of the HV/UFG. The qualifying and quantifying were made through the inspection and weighing of these products. The study was carried out from may 04 to July 17, 2009. As results, it was observed that the management adopted in HV/UFG wasn t fully in accordance with the sanitary regime. Among the critical points observed, it can be outstand the inappropriate separation, identification and storage of the health services waste, poor training of the professionals involved, as well as, insufficient structural conditions. From the previously waste conditioned as GA, it was observed that only 28,5% were appropriately classified as GA. The rest, 2% was GB, 0.5% was GE and 69% was GD. It can be concluded that if the segregation was performed properly in accordance of sanitary legislation, could occur a reduction up to 71% of the contaminated residues. This result can be considered relevant because it implicate in considerable reduction in costs for the treatment of the health services waste, just as in the prevention of infectious diseases and occupational accidents during the handling of these residues.
As atividades cotidianas nos diversos estabelecimentos que prestam serviços de saúde, seja humana ou animal, produzem uma considerável quantidade de resíduos, alguns com características que podem representar riscos à saúde da comunidade hospitalar e à população em geral. Esses produtos necessitam de processos diferenciados em seu manejo, exigindo ou não tratamento prévio à sua destinação final, sendo particularmente importantes tanto para a segurança ocupacional dos trabalhadores que os manuseiam, como para a saúde pública e ao meio ambiente. Diante do exposto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar aspectos do gerenciamento dos resíduos gerados no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal de Goiás (HV/UFG), sendo estes classificados em quatro grupos (GA, GB, GD e GE), denominados, respectivamente, infectantes, químicos, comuns e perfurocortantes. A avaliação do manejo desses resíduos foi efetuada utilizando check list, elaborado de acordo com a legislação vigente e, depois de validado, aplicado em todos os Setores do HV/UFG. A qualificação e quantificação foram efetuadas por meio de inspeção e pesagem desses produtos. O estudo foi realizado no período de 04 de maio a 17 de julho de 2009. Verificou-se que o manejo adotado no HV/UFG não está plenamente em conformidade com a normatização sanitária em vigor. Dentre os pontos de estrangulamentos verificados, destacaram-se a segregação, identificação e armazenamento inadequados dos resíduos de serviços de saúde (RSS), capacitação deficiente dos diferentes profissionais envolvidos no manejo dos mesmos, bem como condições físico-estruturais insuficientes. Dos resíduos acondicionados previamente pelos profissionais do HV/UFG como do GA, depois de segregados, notou-se que somente 28,5% foram classificados como GA, 2% GB, 0,5% GE e 69% GD. Concluiu-se que se a segregação fosse realizada de forma adequada e conforme a legislação sanitária, poderia haver uma redução de até 71% dos resíduos infectantes. Esse resultado é apontado como relevante por implicar em uma diminuição considerável nos custos destinados ao tratamento dos RSS, como também na prevenção de enfermidades infecto-contagiosas e acidentes ocupacionais ocorridos durante o manuseio desses produtos.

Introduction: The Healthcare Services Waste is a source of risk to the human health and the environment, specially, by the lack of technical knowledge adequate to the management of waste, such as biological materials, sharp objects, toxic and radioactive substances. Due to the increase of health problems regarding human beings, the issue of hospital waste in the world, has become alarming, and the problem is a major threat to the environment and occupational safety. The hospital waste, if disposed without proper treatment or without compliance with the current legislation, is dangerous to the people, health professionals and all those workers involved in the waste management process. Continuing education here is understood in a health context, involving the teaching throughout the service, in which the nursing staff must have skills and competencies related to the management of hospital waste. Objective: To discuss the relation of continuing education as a tool for the management of hospital waste. We sought to assess the knowledge of the nursing staff regarding hospital waste. Methodology: Exploratory, descriptive study, with qualitative, transversal approach. Data collection among 31 healthcare professionals, 11 nurses and 20 nursing technicians, held in a teaching hospital in the Midwest region of Brazil, through semi-structured interviews with open and closed questions. The collect of data took place from June to September 2015, after approval by the Research Ethics Committee in Human Beings UFG No. 1.093.310 of 05/29/2015, meeting the requirements of ethical and legal aspects of the Resolution No. 466/12, of the National Health Council. The interviews were inserted in the software database Atlas Ti7.0, which generated frequency data, percentage in the analyzed categories and subcategories and the semantic network. Results: The participants of this research were categorized regarding general aspects - gender, occupation, schooling degree – and specific aspects – major degree, period he/she has worked in that hospital. Regarding schooling degree, six finished High School and, besides the nurses, 14 graduated from college. Regarding major degree, 22.58% are post-graduated (28.57% of nursing technicians and 71.42% of nurses), 16.12% has Master’s degree (40% of nursing technicians and 60% of nurses) and 3.22% holds a PhD (one nurse). From the analysis of the contents obtained from interviews, emerged the following categories: waste training, knowledge of nursing professionals about the management of hospital waste, sharp objects accidents and the importance of waste management for the institution. Among the participants, 54.84% did not receive any training related to waste management, 38.71% were nursing technicians, and 16.13% were nurses. 51.6% of respondents believe they do not discardcorrectly the waste produced in their workplace, and 77.42% have witnessed an accident with waste management in the hospital under study. 93.55% of respondents consider important the GRSS (Management of Hospital Waste Program) for the institution. Conclusion: Major obstacles to the proper handling of hospital waste were the lack of information of respondents and the lack of adequate material resources for disposal. Thus, it is essential that continuing education and specific training should be offered to all health professionals, employees of the cleaning service and collection, to ensure the inherent understanding of the proper handling of waste.
Introdução: Os Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (RSS) representam uma fonte de risco à saúde da população e ao meio ambiente, sobretudo, pela falta de conhecimentos técnicos adequados no manejo dos resíduos, como material biológico, perfurocortantes, substâncias tóxicas e radioativas. Em virtude dos agravos à saúde do ser humano, a questão dos resíduos hospitalares, no mundo, tornou-se preocupante, sendo a problemática uma das mais sérias ameaças ao meio ambiente e à segurança ocupacional. Os Resíduos dos Serviços de Saúde (RSS), se descartados sem o devido tratamento ou ainda sem a observância da legislação vigente, são perigosos à população, profissionais de saúde e a todos aqueles trabalhadores que participam do processo do manejo dos resíduos. Entende-se aqui a educação permanente num contexto da saúde, envolvendo o ensino em serviço, em que a equipe de enfermagem deve dispor de habilidades e competências inerentes à gestão dos resíduos hospitalares. Objetivo: Discutira educação permanente como ferramenta para a gestão dos RSS. Buscou-se avaliar o conhecimento da equipe de enfermagem no manuseio dos resíduos hospitalares. Metodologia: Estudo exploratório, descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, transversal. Coleta de dados com 31 profissionais de saúde, sendo 11 enfermeiros e 20 técnicos em enfermagem, realizada em um hospital universitário da região Centro-Oeste do Brasil, por meio de entrevista com roteiro semiestruturada com questões abertas e fechadas. A coleta ocorreu no período de junho a setembro de 2015, após aprovação do Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa com Seres Humanos da UFG Nº 1.093.310, de 29/05/2015, atendendo às exigências, aspectos éticos e legais da Resolução nº 466/12, do Conselho Nacional de Saúde. As entrevistas foram disponibilizadas na base de dados do software Atlas Ti 7.0, que gerou dados de frequência, percentagem nas categorias e subcategorias analisadas e a rede semântica. Resultados: A caracterização dos participantes quanto aos aspectos gerais – sexo, profissão e escolaridade, e específicos – titulação e tempo de ingresso no hospital em estudo. Observou-se predomínio do sexo feminino com idade entre 41 e 50 anos. Com relação à escolaridade seis cursaram apenas o ensino médio e, além dos enfermeiros, 14 pessoas concluíram o ensino superior. No que diz respeito à titulação 22,58% cursaram alguma especialização (28,57% técnicos em enfermagem e 71,42% enfermeiros), 16,12% possui mestrado (40% técnicos em enfermagem e 60% enfermeiros) e 3,22% possui doutorado (um enfermeiro).A partir da análise dos conteúdos obtidos das entrevistas, emergiram as seguintes categorias: participação em capacitação de resíduos, conhecimento dos profissionais de enfermagem acerca do gerenciamento dos resíduos hospitalares, acidente com material perfurocortante e a importância do gerenciamento de resíduos para a instituição. Dentre os participantes, 54,84% dos entrevistados não receberam qualquer capacitação referente ao gerenciamento de resíduos, 38,71% são técnicos em enfermagem, e 16,13% são enfermeiros. Dos entrevistados 51,6%acreditam não descartar de modo correto os resíduos produzidos no seu local de trabalho, e 77,42% já presenciaram algum acidente com o manejo de resíduos no hospital em estudo. Um número expressivo dos entrevistados, 93,55%, considera o GRSS importante para a instituição. Conclusão: Os maiores obstáculos para o manuseio correto dos resíduos foram a falta de informação dos entrevistados sobre o tema abordado e a falta de recursos de material adequado para o descarte. Assim, considera-se que a educação permanente e treinamentos específicos devem ser oferecidos a todos os profissionais de saúde, funcionários do serviço de higienização e da coleta, para assegurar a compreensão inerente ao manuseio correto dos resíduos.

Full textThis study aimed at evaluating the practices adopted on the management of Healthcare Waste (HW) and how the ANVISA resolution - RDC nº 306/04 was applied on procedures at a large hospital. For that, it was taken as case study the hospital of Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Carlos, because they already have a historic of research production, which served as the basis for a comparative study of composition of medical waste generated, besides the temporal evolution of implemented procedures for local management. The method to evaluate the waste management was done through exploratory and documentary research. On the research development, semi-structured interviews were made and questionnaires applied to hospital staff for evaluation of their own involvement in waste management. The hospital sectors were classified as critical, semi-critical and non-critical areas for evaluation of risks involved. The generating sources, routine and key-procedures of waste management were identified in each mapped area. As part of results, the staff capacitating promoted a decrease in volume in group A waste and in work accidents by puncture-cutting instruments. The hospital had an initial waste generation rate of e.09 kg/patient/day, constituted by groups A (21.7%), D (76.1%) and E (2.2%). The group D waste was characterized on administrative sectors, where there was a predominance of paper and cardboard, indicating a recycling potential. The volume of organic waste generated in the kitchen justifies the search of alternatives for treatment, such as composting. The results indicate that there was a partial incorporation of legislation principles on the implanted model, showing significant results on waste segregation step. The critical points identified are mainly related to the need for adequacy of hospital physical structure, systematic staff training and education campaigns with establishment users, not only for comply of the legal demands, but also to maintain the collective, occupational and environmental health.

This is the increased production of material assets by exploring the sources of raw material, and uncontrolled waste generation, which impacts negatively the environment and represents risks to human health. In the context of this public health issue, we highlight the waste from health care services. Currently, it is known that the waste generated in healthcare facilities must have a special and differentiated management, this because, even though there are wastes which do not present hazardous characteristics, there are also certain categories of potentially hazardous waste. Human exposure to these hazardous wastes, because of their chemical or infective composition, may result in injury or illness. Different from the reality of developed countries, in Panama, the solid waste management still is presented as a neglected issue and therefore not in accordance with international recommendations nor complies with the current country legislation. This research aimed to getting to know the structure of medical waste management generated at the Hospital del Niño de Panama, Republic of Panama, with the main goal of developing a Medical Waste Management Plan proposal for this hospital. Based on the fact that the Hospital del Niño (HN) is a large scale pediatric hospital, located in the Panama Municipality area, where the main technical and financial resources of the country are concentrated; the future application of a Healthcare Waste Management Plan, may have the potential to positively influence the other municipalities and cities in the country. It is a descriptive research based on field observations and interviews with subjects chosen from the HN. The selected subjects were constituted by 2 key informers, responsible in the operational and administrative aspects, for managing the medical waste at the Hospital. Data analysis was performed with the collected information by the application of the United Nations Development Programmes instrument, the I-RAT (PNUD, 2009), including the photographic recording, the notes taken in field and the held interviews. The results revealed a medical waste management structure that needs and can be improved, and that the research location does not meet integrally with the recommendations and legal requirements of the country. They also allowed to adopt a Medical Waste Management Plan model, used in the state of São Paulo, BR (COSTA, 2001), and adapting it to the Panamanian reality. The proposed Medical Waste Management Plan resulting from this study is a tool for the management of waste generated by the HN and others health establishments over Panama. This tool can be useful to cooperate with occupational safety, public health and environmental protection, thus contributing to a better life quality

Full textO presente estudo procurou estabelecer que relações existem entre o gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos infectantes com os casos de Infecções Relacionadas à Assistência à Saúde (IRAS) na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Adulta (UTI-A) do Hospital de Urgência de Sergipe (HUSE), este estudo teve como propósito avaliar a relação entre vetores geradores de doenças encontrados no setor referenciado e os resíduos infectantes gerados nesta unidade de saúde. Para tanto, faz-se necessário: averiguar como é feito o manejo de resíduos sólidos infectantes no setor da UTI-A do HUSE; identificar de que forma o manejo de resíduos infectantes propicia o desenvolvimento de vetores para IRAS; e por fim verificar o preparo dos profissionais para o manejo desses resíduos. Convém pontuar que se trata de uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório e o campo de conhecimento foi explorado pelo método indutivo. A pesquisa bibliográfica e de base empírica, acerca das informações necessárias para interpretação e análise dos dados se delineou mediante o acesso aos registros da Comissão de Controle de Infecção Hospitalar (CCIH), na qual constam os índices de infecção hospitalar de 2008 a 2011 e a normas técnicas e resoluções sistematizadas em fichas resumos. Também foram estabelecidos contatos com os profissionais que trabalham na UTI-A e na CCIH, pessoal de apoio e coordenação respectivamente, foram realizadas entrevistas padronizadas, as quais seguem um roteiro previamente estabelecido, ver apêndice D. Como instrumentos para a coleta de dados foram utilizados a observação não estruturada, o caderno de campo e a máquina fotográfica para efeito de utilização dos usos de expressões, fragmentos e imagens sobre o atual funcionamento da gestão de resíduos sólidos infectantes, sendo estas desenvolvidas com base na análise de conteúdo. Quanto aos resultados foi constatado que dentre os tipos de resíduos gerados na UTI-A do HUSE, os perfurocortantes são os únicos que podem estar associados à propagação de doenças infecciosas, estas, decorrentes de acidentes no momento de sua disposição, sendo sua ocorrência em maior parte com funcionários da limpeza que lidam com este tipo de resíduo e que é comumente disposto inadequadamente pela equipe clínica. No entanto, evidenciou-se que um gerenciamento correto e eficiente desses resíduos pode prevenir riscos e transformar dano em promoção da saúde, como o desenvolvimento de práticas voltadas para os princípios da logística reversa.

Em Portugal, o desperdício estimado é de aproximadamente 1 milhão de toneladas de alimentos por ano, cerca de 17% do total produzido, estando este desperdício mais associado ao final da cadeia produtiva, nomeadamente ao consumidor final. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo quantificar numa unidade hospitalar e num lar de idosos o desperdício alimentar, associado à sopa, prato, parte proteica, acompanhamento e hortícolas, sendo efetuada a medição das temperaturas da sopa e do prato no momento antes de serem servidos. No lar de idosos, foi também aplicado um questionário aos utentes com o intuito de perceber as principais causas para o desperdício de alimentos na instituição. No hospital, a sopa totalizou um desperdício de 36,02% +/- 6,61 (média +/- desvio padrão), o prato 43,28% +/- 15,78, a componente proteica 34,98% +/- 7,03, o acompanhamento 49,35% +/- 11,71 e os hortícolas 17,66% +/- 6,03. No geral, os resultados obtidos são semelhantes em relação à bibliografia consultada, contudo, são valores de desperdício muito elevados. No lar de idosos, o desperdício da sopa foi de 5,11% +/- 2,69, do prato de 23,36% +/- 10,36, da componente proteica de 24,06% +/- 17,06, do acompanhamento de 23,58% +/- 16,54 e dos hortícolas de 20,07% +/- 25,20. Os resultados obtidos do desperdício da sopa, do prato e suas componentes são semelhantes quando comparados com diferentes estudos. A temperatura média da sopa foi de 56,98 ºC +/- 5,74 e do prato de 50,72ºC +/- 5,53, no hospital, e de 59,10 ºC +/- 3,84 na sopa e de 52,68 ºC +/- 5,62 no prato, no lar de idosos. Nesta última instituição, a temperatura não foi apontada como fator de desperdício quando aplicados os questionários. Por fim, pela aplicação dos questionários individuais conclui-se que a sopa é apontada na refeição como um fator positivo, e o peixe como um elemento de desperdício, dado ser considerado de má qualidade por grande parte dos idosos.
ABSTRACT - Quantitative evaluation of food use in a hospital setting and in a social solidarity institution (nursing home) - Food waste is an increasingly present reality in today's societies. In Portugal, the estimated waste is approximately 1 million tons of food per year, about 17% of the total produced, which is associated with the final consumer. The main goal of the present study was to quantify food waste in a hospital unit and in a nursing home, associated with soup, plate, protein, side dish and vegetables. In the nursing home, a questionnaire was also applied to users in order to understand the main causes for food waste in the institution. In the hospital, soup corresponded to a waste of 36,02% +/- 6,61 (average ± standart deviation), main dish 43,28% ± 15,78, protein component 34,98% +/- 7,03, side dish 49,35% +/- 11,71 and vegetables 17,66% +/- 6,03. In general, the results obtained are similar to the bibliography consulted, however are considered very high waste values. In the nursing home, the soup corresponded to a waste of 5.11% +/- 2,69, the plate 23,36% +/- 10,36, the protein component 24,06% +/- 17,06, the side dish 23,58% +/- 16,54 and vegetables 20,07% +/- 25,20. The results obtained for both soup, plate and components waste were similar to the studies consulted. In the hospital, the average soup temperature was 56,98 ºC +/- 5,74 and the plate temperature was 50,72 ºC +/- 5,53. In the nursing home, the average soup temperature was 59,10 ºC +/- 3,84 and the average plate temperature was 52,68 ºC +/- 5,62. In the latter institution, the questionnaire results showed that temperature was not considered a reason for food waste. Finally, by applying the individual questionnaires, it was possible to conclude that the soup was mentioned as a positive factor, whereas the fish was identified as an element of waste, as it is considered of poor quality by most of the elderly people.

Full textBackground. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) produce various types of waste in the course of rendering healthcare services. Each classification of waste must be disposed of according to the prescribed guidelines. Incorrect disposal of waste may pose a danger to employees, patients and the environment. HCPs must have adequate knowledge of the disposal of medical waste. Objectives. To determine the knowledge and practices of HCPs with regard to medical waste disposal at a hospital in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. Methods. A quantitative cross-sectional research approach was used. The study respondents included nurses, medical doctors, dental health staff and allied health staff. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires and analysed using IBM SPSS version 22.0. Results. A high proportion of HCPs did not have adequate knowledge regarding the disposal of medical waste, but nevertheless disposed of medical waste appropriately. While the knowledge and practices of HCPs with regard to medical waste disposal were not associated with age, gender or years of experience, there was an association between professional category and knowledge and practices. Conclusions. Disposal of medical waste is the responsibility of all HCPs. All categories of HCPs should receive regular training to improve their knowledge regarding disposal of medical waste and to minimise the risks associated with improper waste management. This will further increase compliance with the guidelines on disposal of medical waste.

Full textThis research analyzes the organizational and administrative changes of a private hospital from the interior of São Paulo in respect of the management of its waste. It is the study of an exploratory issue with a qualitative and quantitative approach, aiming to describe the organizational and technical-operational aspects of the waste management; describe the actions developed for the implementation of the PSRR (Waste Recycling and Segregation Program); point out the challenges faced and the overcome to them; as well as the benefits and innovations originated from this implementation. The data collection was made through the non participant observation of the infrastructure and route of the waste, by using a questionnaire made to the members of the PSRR Commission in the hospital which was being studied. The results found are the characterization of the waste management at all the handling stages and the documented description of the actions involved in this process. Based on the data collected through the questionnaires, we identified the trajectory and the actions developed for the implementation of the project proposed in the institution; the strategies used to sensitize the people and appraise the proposal; the steps taken for capacitating the people involved; the challenges faced and the overcome to them and, the benefits and innovations originated from the implementation of the work. We have observed the necessity of studies which point out the importance of the incentive to health institutions in favor of understanding the benefits of implementing waste management programs, which aim not only the appropriate procedures in the waste handling, but also the aspects of the work valuation inherent to the PSRR by the hospital community.

Full textThe subject of the present study is the management of chemical waste from hospitals. The chemical waste is generated in auxiliary activities in establishments that provide health services such as hospitals, laboratories, services of diagnosis and treatment, health centers, clinics, medical jurisprudence institutions and others. Among all, hospitals are certainly the major generator of this type of waste for their characteristics of attendance. Controling and reducing the inherent risks of this type of waste are legal requirements, but have also become environmental necessities consisting of a challenge to be faced by the administrators of health service establishments. The general objective of this research is to analyze the management of the chemical waste generated in public hospitals of the metropolitan region of the Rio de Janeiro state, presenting the necessities and difficulties faced by these generators that include political, administrative, economic, and in some cases, physicist-structural aspects. To reach such objective, the employed method was divided into two stages: I) Applied Research, in which some public hospitals of the state were visited and a questionnaire to evaluate the questions related with the management of chemical waste was made and II) Case study, in which the management of chemical waste of a university hospital was considered through comments and interviews. Information acquired in seminaries related to the subject, newspaper articles and interviews in specialized sources were used as secondary sources. The results show that the difficulties faced in the management of health waste, including chemical waste, are present in the majority of the public hospitals net. Conclusion: the major problem to be faced by these institutions is directly related to the lack of importance given by employees, doctors and hospital managers concerning correct segregation, storage and handling of this waste. Moreover, the lack of financial resources and, in some cases, the lack of physical space also makes it difficult to deal with this type of waste effectively. Secondary problems are related to the lack of inspection of the competent sanitary- environment agencies and the own population that does not give proper care for the environment, health and security problems caused by the incorrect management not only of the chemical waste, but all of the health service waste. As recommendation, it can be said it is necessary that the hospitals go through a major mobilization to raise discussions and attend the applicable laws and also develop a managing structure with definite responsibilities and planned actions, compatible with the reality of the public service so that the goals of the management of health service waste are reached.

The study evaluated aspects related to the management of Health Services Waste (HSW) generated within the Surgical Center (SC) of a school hospital in the interior of São Paulo, with the purpose of proposing improvements in this process. This is a qualitative quantitative study that was performed through process observation, data collection, semi-structured interviews applied to the nursing team's collaborators and the quantification of HSW generated in the Operating Room (OR). Data collection was performed in 1 week, a total of 42 interviewees, most of them (34, 80.95%) nursing technicians. As to the knowledge, 92.90% reported knowing what was HSW and 7.10% said they did not know what it was. About the Management Plan of Healthcare Waste, 54.8% were unaware and 45.20% knew. In the issue of training on HSW, 69% said they had not, 31% said yes. However, 11.90% said that it was enough and 88.10% was insufficient. Regarding segregation, 95.20% said they did not perform, and 4.80% said yes. The hamper review is performed by 100% of the employees. Of the 42 interviewees, 10 of them reported having suffered an accident at work with some kind of HSW. It was observed that there is no segregation of type B (chemical) and D (common) residues within the OR, and the medical and nursing staff do not perform the correct segregation of HSW. It was observed that the availability of the dumps inside the SC is incorrect, generating confusion in the discards of HSW. The purge ergonomics of the SC is not adequate with the needs of the employees. The HSW of 53 surgical procedures were weighed, totaling 170,157 kg, of which 116.17 kg (68.28%) infective wastes and 53,978 kg (31.72%) were common wastes. It is concluded that, even with the requirements of the RDC laws no. 306/04 of ANVISA and Res. Nº 358/05 of CONAMA that regulate the management of HSW, it was verified the possibilities of improvement so that the sector of the SC Stay in full compliance with federal law. Although there was no segregation of the HSW within the room, the collaborators proposed to segregate and were aware of its importance and the need for more lectures / orientations on the subject, that is, the need for a permanent education
O estudo avaliou aspectos referentes ao gerenciamento de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (RSS) gerados dentro do Centro Cirúrgico (CC) de um hospital-escola do interior de São Paulo com o objetivo de propor melhorias nesse processo. Trata-se de um estudo com abordagem quanti-qualitativa que foi realizado por meio da observação dos processos, coleta de dados, entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicadas aos colaboradores da equipe de enfermagem e quantificação dos RSS gerados em sala operatória (SO). A coleta de dados foi realizada em uma semana, com um total de 42 entrevistados, sendo em sua maioria (34; 80,95%) técnicos de enfermagem. Quanto aos conhecimentos, 92,90% relataram saber o que era RSS e 7,10% disseram não saber do que se tratava. Sobre o Plano de Gerenciamento de RSS (PGRSS), 54,8% desconheciam e 45,20% conheciam. Na questão da capacitação sobre RSS, 69% disseram não ter tido, 31% relataram que sim. Porém, 11,90% consideraram ter sido suficiente e 88,10, insuficiente. Em relação à segregação, 95,20% disseram não realizar, e 4,80% responderam que sim. A revisão do hamper era realizada por 100% dos colaboradores. Dos 42 entrevistados, 10 deles relataram ter sofrido acidente de trabalho com algum tipo de RSS. Foi observado que não há segregação dos resíduos do tipo B (Químico) e D (Comum) dentro das SO e que a equipe médica e de enfermagem não realizam a correta segregação dos RSS. Notou-se que a disponibilidade das lixeiras dentro do CC está incorreta, gerando confusão nos descartes dos RSS. A ergonomia do expurgo do CC não está adequada com as necessidades dos colaboradores. Foram pesados os RSS de 53 procedimentos cirúrgicos, totalizando 170,157 kg, sendo 116,17 kg (68,28%) lixo infectante e 53,978 kg (31,72%) lixo comum. Conclui-se que, mesmo com as exigências das leis RDC nº 306/04 da ANVISA e da Res. nº 358/05 da CONAMA, que regulam o gerenciamento de RSS, verificou-se a possibilidade de melhoria para que o setor do CC do hospital fique em total conformidade com as leis federais. Apesar de não haver a segregação dos RSS dentro de sala, os colaboradores se propunham em segregar e tinham consciência da sua importância e da necessidade de mais palestras/orientações sobre o assunto, ou seja, a necessidade de uma educação permanente

A preocupação mundial em relação aos resíduos sólidos, em especial os Resíduos dos Serviços de Saúde (RSS), tem aumentado ante o crescimento da produção, do gerenciamento inadequado e da falta de áreas de disposição final. Neste interim, a assistência à saúde é prestada por uma rede de serviços que inclui desde atendimentos residenciais, passando por unidades básicas de saúde e hospitais de alta complexidade. O presente estudo objetivou a verificação do manejo dos resíduos sólidos de saúde na Maternidade ―Frei Damião‖, em João Pessoa-PB, com base em pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, numa investigação descritivo analítica com trinta profissionais de saúde da Maternidade no período de janeiro a junho de 2017. Realizou-se uma análise descritiva por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas compostas de perguntas abertas, visando analisar a percepção ambiental destes trabalhadores quanto aos resíduos produzidos na unidade hospitalar. Os profissionais foram selecionados a partir de um grupo representativo de seis categorias: médicos, enfermeiros, psicólogos, assistentes sociais, farmacêuticos e fisioterapeutas. Os dados foram analisados obedecendo às seguintes etapas: reunião do corpus de análise; leitura flutuante dos achados; leitura aprofundada a fim de constituir categorias de análise; análise interpretativa das categorias; e discussão com a literatura pertinente. Os resultados permitiram concluir que: há ainda lacunas enormes para serem preenchidas no processo de gerenciamento dos resíduos de saúde do serviço hospitalar; a percepção dos profissionais envolvidos do ambiente hospitalar está ligada mais aos cuidados com os pacientes, pois nem todos vislumbram a importância da segregação, e destes alguns desconhecem o processo de destinação final dos resíduos sólidos de saúde. Para tanto, é de grande importância que a unidade invista em educação e saúde na unidade a que todos estão envolvidos, sobre o manejo correto dos resíduos sólidos de saúde da instituição.
Global concern about solid waste, especially Health Care Waste (HCW), has increased as production increases, inadequate management and lack of final disposal areas. In this interim, health care is provided by a network of services ranging from residential care, through basic health units and hospitals of high complexity. The present study aimed to verify the management of solid health wastes in the "Frei Damião" Maternity, in João Pessoa-PB, based on qualitative research, in a descriptive-analytical research with thirty Maternity health professionals in the period of January to June 2017. A descriptive analysis was conducted through semi-structured interviews with open questions, aiming to analyze the environmental perception of these workers regarding the waste produced in the hospital unit. The professionals were selected from a representative group of six categories: doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, pharmacists and physiotherapists. The data were analyzed obeying the following steps: meeting of the corpus of analysis; Floating reading of findings; In order to constitute categories of analysis; Interpretative analysis of categories; and discussion with relevant literature. The results allowed concluding that: 1) there are still huge gaps to be filled in the process of health waste management in the hospital service. 2) The perception of the professionals involved in the hospital environment is more related to patient care, since not everyone sees the importance of segregation, and some of them are unaware of the process of final disposal of solid health wastes. 3) Therefore, it is of great importance that the health unit must invests in education and health in the unit to which all are involved, on the correct management of the solid health residues of the institution.

Full textNuma altura em que se assiste a um progresso continuado a preservação ambiental apresenta-se como um desafio para a sociedade atual, já que a crescente produção de Resíduos Hospitalares (RH) afeta globalmente o mundo em que habitamos, apresentando em cada país contornos específicos. Importa, cada vez mais, tratar corretamente estes resíduos, para que deles não resultem, direta ou indiretamente, impactes negativos significativos, que se traduzam em prejuízo para o país. É essencial garantir a sustentabilidade dos sistemas de gestão de RH, nas UPCS em Portugal e, para o efeito, considera-se que a aposta deve passar pela aplicação de práticas eficazes nas diversas etapas da gestão de RH: minimização na produção de RH, triagem, acondicionamento e armazenamento adequados, com o intuito de promover a redução dos riscos associados ao manuseamento de Resíduos Hospitalares Perigosos (RHP), garantindo a proteção individual de todos os trabalhadores que contactam com os mesmos, bem como da população em geral. Salienta-se que todas as estratégias devem priorizar a redução da quantidade de RH, pelo que é fundamental selecionar as tecnologias de tratamento de RH mais eficazes em termos ambientais, económicos e sociais. Neste trabalho procurou-se incidir sobre a incineração como tecnologia de tratamento de RH, discutindo as principais vantagens e desvantagens associadas a este processo em comparação com outros métodos alternativos como a autoclavagem e micro-ondas, com base na análise de investigações atuais sobre a temática. A sua realização permitiu concluir que em Portugal que a incineração tem um papel essencial na gestão de todos os tipos de resíduos, nomeadamente os RH. As unidades existentes têm uma utilização intensiva e cumprem os requisitos legais ambientais. A legislação portuguesa tem vindo a ser sucessivamente alterada com o objetivo prevenir ou reduzir ao mínimo os efeitos negativos no ambiente, em especial a poluição ambiental e os riscos para a saúde humana. A estratégia para o tratamento e destino final de RH vai no sentido de promover a redução e adequação ambiental das unidades de tratamento, concentração do tratamento por incineração num pequeno número de unidades com capacidade de resposta, promoção de tratamentos seguros e de qualidade, implementação e avaliação de planos de gestão de RH nas unidades produtoras deste tipo de resíduos. A continued progress is noticed nowadays, and therefore environmental preservation is a challenge for today's society, since the growing production of Medical Waste globally affects the planet we inhabit, with specific features in each country. It is increasingly crucial, to handle these wastes correctly so that they do not result directly or indirectly in significant adverse impacts with negative results to the country. It is essential to ensure the sustainability of MW management systems, in Portuguese healthcare units and, to that end, it is considered that the best strategy should involve the application of effective practices in the various stages of MW management: MW production minimization, sorting, packaging and proper storage, in order to promote the reduction of risks associated with the handling of Hazardous MW, guaranteeing the protection of all workers who contact with them, as well as the general population. It is important to emphasize that all strategies must prioritize the reduction of the amount of MW, so it is essential to select the most effective MW treatment technologies in environmental, economic and social terms. In this work, the focus was given to incineration as an MW treatment technology, presenting the main advantages and disadvantages of this process compared with other alternative methods such as autoclaving and microwave, based on the analysis of current research on the subject. It was possible to draw the following conclusion: incineration has in Portugal an essential role in the management of all types of waste, namely MW. The existing units are used intensively and meet the legal environmental requirements. Portuguese laws have been subsequently amended in order to prevent or minimize the negative effects on the environment, particularly environmental pollution and the risks to human health. The strategy for MW treating and disposing has the following purpose: the promotion of the reduction and environmental suitability of treatment units, concentrating the treatment through incineration in a small number of responsive units, promoting safe and quality treatments, implementing and assessing MW management plans in the producing units of this type of waste.

Full textThis study focused on the Management of Hazardous Chemical Waste (MHCW) handled by nursing workers of a school hospital. Its purpose was to identify products of medical-hospital use that contain substances potentially generators of chemical waste, check the existing information on hazardous chemicals, handling of their respective waste, and analysis of the nursing workers´ perception of the handling and impact of hazardous chemicals waste and propose strategies for the Management of Hazardous Chemical Wastes. This study is characterized as exploratory, descriptive, with a qualitative approach. The population was formed by all chemicals stored at the pharmacy and storeroom and of 662 nursing workers with an intentional sample of 19 subjects. Three were used for data collection: the first was a form for the listing of all medical-hospital use chemicals in the institution and another for the identification of products capable of generating hazardous chemical wastes (HCW), in addition to the technique of focus groups to collect data on handling. The data were systematized and analyzed in two instances: during the first, we discussed the universe of the institution´s chemicals and of those with the potential to generate hazardous chemical wastes. The second instance involved the analysis of the four categories extracted from the talks of the subjects in the focus group as to the handling of HCW. The analysis of the data of the first instance found 387 types of chemicals in the inventory of the studied institution, out of which 139 were screened as generators of hazardous chemicals wastes. However, the institution ranks 23 of them as hazardous, but they are sent to health care units without data as to the features of flammability, corrosiveness, reactivity and toxicity, in addition to the lack of individual information related to waste handling. At a second moment of the analysis, four categories were determined: knowledge of the management of hazardous chemical wastes (MHCW); awareness of the exposure and impact of hazardous chemical wastes, preventive measures and suggestions to HCW. The dialogues with the subjects evidenced the lack of specific training on MHCW, of general knowledge on the amount of HCW, fragmented knowledge of the handling stages corresponding to segregation, packaging, identification and internal transport, in addition to total lack of knowledge of the study subjects from the stage of temporary storage to the final disposal, stages that were discussed during the first instance of the study. In the category of awareness of exposure and impacts, it was found that the dialogues mention that nursing workers are the people with more exposure among the multi-professional team and do not associate the impact of exposure on public health and on the environment. In the preventive actions category the dialogues evidenced emphasis on the use of IPE (Individual Protection Equipment), especially gloves and masks. As to suggestions regarding MHCW, nursing workers appointed training as one of the priorities, in addition to development of new products, attention to sporadic handling of HCW, adaptation of IPEs, and implementation of collective protection measures. Thus, the data analysis provided subsidies for the preparation of strategies for the Management Plan for Hazardous Chemical Wastes handled by the institution´s nursing team. Therefore, considering the analyzed data, the proposals were presented in two stages. In the first, an information flowchart between the institution that is the object of the study and the suppliers, in addition to an Information File of the Management of Hazardous Hospital Chemical Wastes (FMHHCW) to provide input for the Management Plan for Hazardous Chemical Wastes (MPHCW), followed by a suggestion of an information flowchart between the health care sectors and the pharmacy service, regarding the HCW handled by the nursing team. The second stage of proposals involved the general recommendations for MPHCW. It is still necessary to classify the universe of products generating HCW in the institution and application of strategies that will make effective the elaboration of MPHCW, with a view to the promotion of the health of workers, public health and environment.

Full textMinimizing food waste at hospital food service is not only an ethic issue but also economics with scopes of practice for dietetics professionals. The aim of this study was to identify and analyse food waste on an orthopaedic ward at “Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central” (Hospital São José). Food waste was determined by the visual plate waste method. A total of 70 quality satisfaction survey and food waste trays from 24 hospitalized patients, 5 per day random chosen, were analyzed at dinner time over a 14 days period. The patient included in the study, were 56 women and 14 men between the age of 24 and 84 years old (α= 63 years old), majority with a 7-day length of stay and eating with no help. The registered food waste was 41,7 %; the item with more food waste was “vegetables” (61,07%) and the one with less waste was meat/ fish (31,43%). The patient’s satisfaction level was majority, “satisfied” for all items and those with a higher level of satisfaction were the “plate presentation” and “global appreciation”. The “soup taste” was the one presenting the lower level of satisfaction. The items having the highest level of insatisfaction were the “plate taste” and the “mealtime”. The patient’s reasons majority associated with the amount of food waste were the gender, staff attitude and kind of food. Other issues were also pointed, as the food temperature and taste, appetite, age, needing help to eat and the cleanness of fork, spoon and dishes. The food waste founded was high, which means that food service is giving more food than the patients needs. The results of the present study can major to implement ways of reducing food waste and optimize productivity.

Full textO estudo aborda a caracterização dos resíduos dos serviços de saúde de um hospital de porte III no município de São José dos Campos e análise da execução do plano de gerenciamento. Trata-se de um estudo realizado por meio de observações diretas em todas as etapas do manejo dos resíduos, conforme Resolução ANVISA RDC 306 (2004) e quantificação em peso de todos os resíduos gerados no hospital. Observou-se que alguns profissionais, os quais prestam assistência direta aos pacientes desconhecem o PGRSS, e os que têm conhecimento não procedem a segregação de maneira correta. Percebeu-se acondicionamento inadequado dos resíduos químicos e perfurocortantes, ausência de tratamento prévio para alguns resíduos infectantes, presença de resíduos infectantes e perfurocortantes respectivamente na farmácia, conforto médico e lavanderia. Quanto aos resultados obtidos nas pesagens, verificou-se que a quantidade maior de resíduos gerados foi do grupo D, seguido dos resíduos comuns recicláveis, ressalta-se que a quantidade gerada destes resíduos, em todos os setores foi abaixo do esperado. Constatou-se que a quantidade de resíduos dos serviços de saúde gerados por leito/dia foi de 3,98kg/leito/dia, este resultado está em concordância com a literatura consultada. Mediante resultados, infere-se que são necessárias algumas adequações em todas as etapas do manejo. Uma das dificuldades para a execução do plano,foi a irresponsabilidade do ser humano perante o meio ambiente enquanto que uma das facilidades foi o apoio da diretoria técnica.Apresenta-se algumas recomendações: nomear um profissional como técnico responsável pelo plano, compor grupo de apoio técnico, implantar educação continuada.

Full textO foco principal da pesquisa se concentrou em estudar o manejo de resíduos sólidos de hospitais de Boa Vista e os riscos ambientais gerados no descarte final desses resíduos de forma inadequada. A pesquisa foi realizada no Hospital Materno Infantil Nossa Senhora de Nazareth, Hospital Geral de Roraima Rubens de Sousa Bento e Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio. As informações sobre o gerenciamento e fases de produção dos resíduos foram colhidas através de entrevistas e questionários, aplicados aos funcionários dos hospitais e higienizadores das empresas prestadoras de serviços. Na área de disposição final dos RSS, no aterro sanitário, as informações foram obtidas através de questionários e entrevistas com os catadores de lixo, com o gerente do aterro e o fiscal da Prefeitura que acompanhou a pesquisa no local. Para as análises microbiológicas da água utilizou-se a técnica do Número Mais Provável com cinco diluições. Os resultados mostraram que no Hospital Materno Infantil Nossa Senhora de Nazareth e no Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio, o Programa de Gerenciamento dos Resíduos Sólidos dos Serviços de Saúde (PGRSS) não atende as exigências legais nas fases de produção dos resíduos, enquanto que no Hospital Geral de Roraima Rubens de Souza Bento, o programa ainda está em fase de adaptação às exigências legais dos órgãos competentes. Constatou-se degradação no solo, agressões à mata ciliar no entorno do aterro sanitário e densidades elevadas de coliformes termotolerantes nas amostras de água coletadas no afluente e no igarapé Auai Grande, o que sugere água do tipo 3, considerada imprópria para balneabilidade e potabilidade.
The main focus of this research intend to study the management of solid residues of hospitals in Boa Vista and the ambient impacts derivate from the inappropriate final discarding. The research was developed in Nossa Senhora de Nazaré Infantile Maternal Hospital, in Santo Antonio Child Hospital of Boa Vista and in the General Hospital of Roraima, Rubens de Sousa Bento. In these institutions, the information about the management and phases of the residues production were collected through interviews and questionnaires, applied with employees of the hospitals and cleaners of the companies that work in the hospital., At the final disposal area of residues in the sanitary deposit, the information were collected through questionnaires and interviews with the rubbish collectors, with the sanitary deposit manager and with the Town Hall fiscal who followed our search in this local. For the microbiological analyses of the water it was used in accordance with technique of the most probable number with five dilutions. The results showed that in Nossa Senhora de Nazaré Infantile Maternal Hospital and Santo Antonio Child Hospital, the Management Program of Solid Residues of Health Service (PGRSS) doesnt attend to the legal requirement in the production phases of residues while in the General Hospital of Roraima Rubens de Souza Bento the program is still in the adaptation phases to the legal requirements of the competent organizations. It was verified ground degradation, aggression to the ciliar wood around the sanitary deposit and elevated density of term tolerant coli forms in the collected water sample in the affluent and in the Auai Grande stream, what suggests water of type 3, considered inappropriate to bathing and drinking

The Waste Health Services (RSS) are those outcomes of care to human or animal health, generated in hospital, clinics, laboratories, pharmacies and similar services and deserve attention because of potential risk to human health can offer as much for the environment. Inferred from the legislation that among the institutions responsible for managing RSS from its generation to final disposal, are those of veterinary care and veterinary clinics and pet shops, which has generated concern to health authorities the disposal of its waste, because improper disposal of some items endangers the health of pets and people in general. In this context the research aimed to evaluate the management of Solid Waste Health Services of veterinary establishments in the town of Mossoró-RN. Were selected 21 establishments were selected of veterinary clinics and pet stores of this municipality, which underwent an interview about the management of RSS based on CONAMA and ANVISA the resolutions, which govern the subject. Furthermore, the identification and quantification of RSS and guidance to those outlets about the risks of RSS and its management steps were performed. The descriptive data were from the notes made in the field daily, on the identification and quantification of waste produced and guidance to establishments obtained during the visits. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed statistically, using the non-parametric test, Fisher exact, to compare the ratio of the group of veterinary clinic and pet shop. It was found that these stores generate RSS approximately 34kg/dia and destined to the landfill in the municipality without any form of treatment. These establishments not adequately perform the steps of waste management since the segregation until the final destination and that approximately 44% did not practice segregation and packaging as per the guidelines suggested by this study. We conclude that it is necessary to adopt measures of action to guide owners and responsible for veterinary establishments as their responsibility to RSS generator, as it is essential that the responsible agencies conduct surveillance veterinary care facilities so they look fit legislation and therefore fulfill its responsibility to RSS generator
Os Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (RSS) são aqueles resultados do atendimento a saúde humana ou animal, gerados em hospital, clínicas, laboratórios, farmácias e serviços similares e merecem atenção devido ao potencial de risco que podem oferecer tanto para saúde humana quanto para o meio ambiente. Depreende se da legislação que dentre os estabelecimentos, responsável em gerenciar os RSS desde sua geração até a destinação final, estão aqueles de assistência veterinária como clínicas veterinárias e Pet Shops, que vem gerando preocupação às autoridades de saúde a destinação dos seus resíduos, pois o descarte inadequado de alguns itens coloca em risco a saúde dos pets e da população em geral. Diante desse contexto a pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o gerenciamento dos Resíduos Sólidos de Serviços de Saúde dos estabelecimentos veterinários no município de Mossoró-RN. Foram selecionados 21 estabelecimentos de clínicas veterinárias e pet shops desse município que foram submetidos a uma entrevista sobre o gerenciamento dos RSS com base nas resoluções CONAMA E ANVISA que regem sobre o assunto. Ainda foram realizadas a identificação e quantificação dos RSS e a orientação a esses estabelecimentos quanto aos riscos dos RSS e suas etapas de manejo. Os dados foram descritiva a partir das anotações realizadas no diário de campo, sobre a identificação e quantificação dos resíduos produzidos e a orientação aos estabelecimentos obtidas durante o período de visitas. Os dados obtidos nas entrevistas foram submetidos à análise estatística, com a utilização do teste não paramétricos Exato de Fisher para comparar a proporção entre o grupo de clínica veterinária e pet shop. Constatou-se que esses estabelecimentos geram RSS, aproximadamente 34kg/dia e que são destinados ao terro sanitário do município sem nenhuma forma de tratamento. Esses estabelecimentos ainda não realizam adequadamente as etapas de manejo dos resíduos desde a segregação ate a destinação final e que aproximadamente 44% não realizavam a segregação e acondicionamento conforme as orientações sugeridas por esse estudo. Conclui-se que é necessário adoção de medidas de ação para orientar os proprietários e responsáveis pelos estabelecimentos veterinários quanto a sua responsabilidade de gerador de RSS, assim como é essencial que os órgãos responsáveis realizem a fiscalização nos estabelecimentos veterinários para que esses procurem adequar se a legislação e consequentemente cumpram com sua responsabilidade de gerador de RSS

O presente estudo aborda o manejo dos resíduos de serviços de saúde produzidos pelo Hospital Municipal Esaú Matos, situado em Vitória da Conquista na Bahia. Essa pesquisa é um estudo de caso, de caráter exploratório, sobre a aplicação da legislação dos resíduos de serviços de saúde. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa é avaliar a situação de gerenciamento dos resíduos de serviços de saúde no Hospital Esaú Matos na cidade de Vitória da Conquista, confrontando com as legislações da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA) a RDC 306/2004 e a Resolução 358/2005 do Conselho Nacional de Meio Ambiente (CONAMA). Durante visitas in loco foi aplicado um questionário, o qual foi elaborado através da metodologia empregada nas resoluções 306/2004 da ANVISA e resolução 358/2005 do CONAMA. Pelo estudo realizado e de acordo com as normas vigentes, foi possível observar que o hospital produz resíduos que são classificados como resíduos do grupo A - biológicos, grupo B - químicos, grupo D - comuns e do grupo E - perfurocortantes. Verificou-se que o hospital não possui um Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (PGRSS) e que o manejo interno dos resíduos precisa ser reavaliado com a finalidade de corrigir os desacordos. As práticas realizadas quanto a identificação, segregação, acondicionamento, transporte interno, acondicionamento final e o abrigo de resíduos não estão em concordância com as legislações vigentes. Assim, o manejo inadequado destes resíduos aumenta os riscos de acidentes, provoca riscos de contaminação que causam efeitos negativos ao meio ambiente, através de impactos ambientais deterioradores da vida animal e vegetal. Mas esse risco pode ser controlado quando tomados os cuidados necessários aplicando técnicas descritas nas legislações vigentes e através da utilização dos equipamentos de proteção individual e coletivos, EPIs e EPCs, adequados ao processo realizado na gestão dos resíduos. Diante dos resultados encontrados na pesquisa foram elaboradas propostas e medidas mitigadoras de melhoramento da gestão dos resíduos.
This study addresses the management of health care waste produced by the Municipal Hospital Esau Matos, located in Vitória da Conquista in Bahia. This research is a case study, exploratory, on the implementation of waste legislation for health services. The overall objective of this research is to evaluate the status of management of health care waste in Esau Matos Hospital in the city of Vitoria da Conquista, confronted with the laws of the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) RDC 306/2004 and Resolution 358 / 2005 of the National Council for the Environment (CONAMA). During site visits was a questionnaire, which was prepared by the methodology used in the resolutions 306/2004 of ANVISA and Resolution 358/2005 of CONAMA. The study and according to current standards, it was observed that the hospital produces waste that are classified as group A waste - biological, group B - chemical, D group - common and group E - sharps. It was found that the hospital does not have a Health Plan Services Waste Management (PGRSS) and the internal management of waste needs to be reassessed in order to correct the disagreements. The practices carried out as identification, segregation, packaging, internal transport, final packaging and waste under are not in accordance with current legislation. Thus, inadequate management of this waste increases the risk of accidents, cause contamination risks that cause negative effects to the environment, through spoilage environmental impacts of plant and animal life. But this risk can be controlled when taken the necessary precautions by applying techniques described in the current legislation and through the use of personal protective equipment and collective, PPE and EPCs, suitable to the process undertaken in waste management. Given the results found in the research proposals and mitigation measures for improvement of waste management were prepared.

Full textThe present work is a study on the Waste Management of the Health and Biosafety Services of a large hospital in the Triângulo Mineiro. One qualitative analysis was carried out, initially, with the purpose of recognizing the nonconformities that exist in relation to the current legislation related to the subject in question. Subsequently, proposals for improvements to the top management of the establishment were presented, which were successful, and approved in the execution. So, educational posters were developed, presented in them the Waste Groups, in order to assist the professionals in the correct segregation; training and recycling in order to reduce the nonconformity indexes, financial expenses with waste, and provide better Biosafety conditions to the establishment, its employees and service providers. Then, a new data collection was performed to evaluate what had improved in the GRSS in the establishment. In the face of all the improvement proposals, considerable results were obtained, such as reduction in Non-Conformity rates for both GRSS in 63,6% and Biosafety in 78,6%; in the amount of waste generated in Groups A and D, the Group A in the first half of 2016 for the first half of 2017 shows a reduction of 11,67% in waste generation and in Group D of approximately 30% , as well as a reduction in the rates of sharps injuries.

The problems and concerns involving Solid Waste from Healthcare Services (RSSS), though an old issue, are still very troubling today. Incorrect disposal of solid waste is a major concern, especially in hospital, in that it poses a risks of contamination from infectious diseases to patients, visitors, as well as individuals who indirectly handle such waste, be it healthcare providers or cleaning staff. Mindful of the complexity of RSSS classifications and segregation in hospitals, this dissertation aims at analyzing the RSSS internal logistics currently in place and puts forth a new process to optimize waste collection - from intermediate area and external storage - placing each actor and their social responsibilities so that the infectious and common waste do not mix; and devise internal means to reduce generation of waste right at the source up to the final disposal. The data obtained shows how difficult RSSS management is when it comes to correctly segregation providers find it difficult to properly separate waste and attend training on the significance of RSSS and hospitals' administrators need to have a solid grasp of the relevance of waste segregation, as they still prioritize health care of the population to the detriment of allocating funds for the management activities of the RSSS. The methodology used was the case study of a Public Hospital located in the city of São Paulo, data was collected via non-participatory observation, informal interview, records and information was obtained from scientific papers and congresses on Scopus, Scielo and Google Scholar. The theoretical contribution of this research is a tool to analyze the logistics involving hospital waste, so that they are meet the standards required under legal standards and rules and a practical contribution applied in bringing Hospital "X" to compliance with applicable rules and regulations in a realistic manner and at low cost and without causing major interferences with hospital's daily operation.
Os problemas e preocupações com os Resíduos Sólidos de Serviços de Saúde (RSSS) vêm de longa data e ainda nos dias de hoje, é grande essa preocupação. O descarte de forma incorreta está sendo um problema principalmente nas instituições hospitalares, que podem trazer riscos e contaminações com doenças infecciosas aos pacientes, visitantes, bem como aos que manipulam indiretamente os resíduos sejam os trabalhadores da área da saúde ou de limpeza. Reconhecendo nas instituições hospitalares a complexidade quanto às classificações dos RSSS e a segregação, essa dissertação tem como objetivo analisar a logística interna atual dos RSSS e propor um novo processo para otimizar a coleta dos resíduos desde o abrigo intermediário até o abrigo externo, situando cada ator com suas responsabilidades sociais para que os resíduos infectantes não sejam misturados aos resíduos comuns e encontrar meios internos para reduzir a geração de resíduos desde a fonte geradora até a disposição final. Com base nos dados foi possível perceber a dificuldade no gerenciamento dos RSSS quanto à segregação correta envolvendo toda a cadeia logística do hospital, desde os trabalhadores da limpeza, dos funcionários da saúde em segregar adequadamente os resíduos e também de frequentar treinamentos sobre a importância dos RSSS, inclusive o entendimento dos gestores da necessidade do hospital em realizar a correta destinação dos RSSS, pois os mesmos priorizam o atendimento à saúde da população em detrimento do fornecimento de recursos para as atividades de gerenciamento dos RSSS. A metodologia utilizada foi o estudo de caso em um Hospital Público localizado na cidade de São Paulo, a coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de observação não participativa, entrevista informal, documentos e informações do referencial teórico obtidas com bases em artigos científicos e congressos provenientes das bases Scopus, Scielo e Google Acadêmico. Como contribuição teórica dessa pesquisa, tem-se o auxílio de análise do processo de logística dos resíduos hospitalares, para que estejam dentro dos padrões exigidos pela legislação e das normas, e como contribuição prática aplicada em adequar o Hospital "X" na legislação de maneira viável e de baixo custo e sem causar grandes interferências na rotina diária do hospital.

The present work aims to contribute to finding solutions concerning the management of chemical waste in universities, research institutions and hospitals. These institutions act, or at least should act as models of policies for environmental preservation and prevention of health risks, supported in the current regulations, contributing to the formation of citizens committed to environmental health and quality of life. The main objective of the present work was propose alternatives for the current chemical waste management system, particularly the compounds glutaraldehyde, xylene and formaldehyde after use, in a higher education institution and in a hospital school, in order to support decision-making as to minimize the risks to human and environmental health from the use and disposal of the same. The first step of the study involved a survey of chemical waste generated in the hospital school, especially xylene and glutaraldehyde, and in the university laboratory of anatomy, especially formaldehyde in use, quantifying them and identifying the generation site, and the process and the treatment currently applied to each one of these residues, through local direct observations and survey information from the Environmental Sanitation Institute of the Caxias do Sul University. The next step was the characterization compounds glutaraldehyde, xylene and formaldehyde as the purity (compared to standard substances) in order to analyze the degradation by use and the need ou not of disposal. For this purpose were collected 8 monthly samples of glutaraldehyde and xylene, after use in the hospital school, and formaldehyde in the university laboratory of anatomy. Were present two proposals: a review of the current method of disposal of the compounds glutaraldehyde, xylene and formaldehyde and the replacement thereof by other, smaller environmental impact and health, analyzing advantages and disadvantages of proposals, based on the literature, studies and practices carried out by other institutions. The chromatographic analyzes showed that the compounds glutaraldeyde and xylene have very purity (only 9.19 and 1.52 % of degradation, respectively) and can be reused by the institution, while formaldehyde degradation was high (59.38 %). The proposed alternatives prove to be very advantageous, according to the results obtained in the present study. The recycling of the compounds evaluated, in turn, implies directly in reducing the volume of toxic and hazardous materials that the institution sends to the final disposal.

Full textThe present study approaches the question of health service waste (HSW) which represents one of the great problems caused by the man-environment interaction. Based on a survey of the HSW situation and of the need to establish guidelines for 67 health services in Ribeirão Preto whith respect to waste management, including 100% of the hospitals and 30% of the drugstores, laboratories, ambulatories an veterinary clinics which participate in the Special Collection and Incineration Servive, an educational program was offered to 127 health workers in order to turn them into multipliers of the course at their work places. The method of consciousness-raising education was used in order to permit health workers to acquire a critical ecological awareness capable of turning them into agents of change by positively interfering with specific HSW questions. A final evaluation was performed two months after the course, which showed that some changes had been made in the services starting from the awareness of the workers who, in general, had transmitted the information acquired in the course to their coworkers. It was concluded that it is imperative to set up a continued education system in the health services of Ribeirão Preto, as well as to replan their installations in order to obtain a better adaptation to the city system of HSW management. The final conclusion of this study permited to verify the possibilities and the limits of education activity of nurse in the field of environmental education. This study proposes that all health services to immediately join the Special Collection an Incineration program of the city, which now serves only 1/3 of the health services, and the local public organs of control and inspection of health services should reorganize amongst themselves and join the University for a more effective action on these concerns in terms of HSW management.

Resumo: Neste estudo aborda-se o gerenciamento do resíduo sólido de serviço de saúde no Centro de Hematologia e Hemoterapia da UNICAMP (HEMOCAMP) -HEMOCENTRO, para se conhecer o funcionamento e a eficiência do Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduo Sólido de Serviço de Saúde (PGRSSS). Verificou-se cada processo, desde manejo, segregação, acondicionamento, armazenamento, coleta, transporte até o programa de educação. A caracterização do resíduo foi realizada em duas etapas, triagem e quantificação, em treze semanas, incluindo todas as estações do ano. Foi verificada a ação utilizada como programa de educação aos funcionários e pacientes. Foram atendidos, no período 9.400 pacientes, resultando a taxa de geração de 1,68 kg de resíduo por paciente. O total de resíduo pesado foi 15.856 kg e o total de resíduo considerado inadequado 532 kg. Observou-se que o acondicionamento não estava em conformidade com as especificações da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas, pois os sacos de resíduo infectante continham volume maior que o permitido e não eram bem fechados. Quanto à coleta e ao transporte interno, é preciso reavaliar rota e horários para que não ocorram durante o atendimento aos pacientes. Foi verificado que é necessário intensificar o programa de educação no PGRSSS
Abstract: In this study it is approached the management of the health services solid waste at the Centro de Hematologia e Hemoterapia da UNICAMP (HEMOCAMP) ¿HEMOCENTRO, in order to know the working and the efficiency of the Health Services Solid Waste Management Program (PGRSSS). Each process of this program was verified, since handling, segregation, packing, storage, collection, transportation, until the educational program. The characterization of the collected waste was performed in two stages: selection and quantification, within thirteen weeks, including spring, summer, autumn and winter. The action taken, as educational program for employees and patients, was also verified. The quantity of patients attended within that period was 9.400, resulting a 1,68 kg per patient waste generation rate. The amount of weighted waste was 15.856 kg and the amount of waste considered unsuitable was 532 kg. It was observed that the packing was not in compliance with the Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas, since the plastic bags with infecting waste had a volume above the permitted one and they were not well closed. Concerning the collection and internal transportation, it is necessary to re-evaluate route and time, to avoid that they occur during the patients attendance. It was verified that it is necessary to intensify the educational program on the PGRSSS

Resumo: O tratamento por plasma térmico de resíduos hospitalares gera como subproduto um material vitrocerâmico com alto poder de bloquear radiação ultravioleta e infravermelho próximo. A composição deste material apresenta como elementos majoritários cálcio, silício, ferro, alumínio e oxigênio. O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender a cinética de devitrificação das múltiplas fases do vitrocerâmico pelo controle do tratamento térmico e o seu efeito na absorção de radiação ultravioleta. Determinou-se por análise térmica diferencial as temperaturas de fusão e recristalização. Amostras vítreas obtidas por fusão a 1300 °C seguido por resfriamento rápido foram tratadas termicamente para induzir a devitrificação. Através da técnica de difração de raios-X identificou-se três estruturas cristalinas, Mg(Al,Fe)2O4, Ca(Ti,Mg,Al)(Si,Al)2O6 e NaAlSiO4, e determinou-se o tamanho médio e quantidade dos cristalitos presentes nessas fases com as diferentes temperaturas de tratamento térmico. As fases cristalinas formadas exercem influência na absorção óptica na faixa de ultravioleta, possibilitando a aplicação deste vitrocerâmico como agente ativo em bloqueadores ultravioleta comerciais. Medidas de transmitância óptica mostraram que o crescimento das fases Ca(Ti,Mg,Al)(Si,Al)2O6 e NaAlSiO4 induziram um fator de redução de 55% para 6% nos valores de transmitâncias ópticas no espectro ultravioleta (290 a 400 nm). A relevância deste trabalho revela-se no controle da formação das fases cristalinas do material que contribuem efetivamente na absorção da radiação ultravioleta
Abstract: A glass-ceramic material generated by plasma treatment of hospital waste has a remarkable property to block ultraviolet and near infrared radiation. The main composition elements of such a glass-ceramic are: calcium, silicon, iron, aluminum and oxygen. The objective of the present research is to understand the kinetics of devitrification of multiple phases by the control of thermal treatment conditions, and their effect on the ultraviolet absorption. The melting and crystallization temperatures of the glass-ceramic material were determined by differential thermal analysis. Vitreous samples were obtained by melting the as-received material at 1300 °C, followed by quenching. Afterwards, samples were thermally treated, inducing controlled crystallization. By X-ray diffraction technique, three crystalline phases were identified: Mg(Al,Fe)2O4, Ca(Ti,Mg,Al)(Si,Al)2O6 and NaAlSiO4. Average size and concentration of the crystallites were also determined. The formed crystalline phases have strong influence in the optical absorbance at ultraviolet band, which allows this glass-ceramic to be used as an active agent in commercial ultraviolet blockers. Optical transmittance measurements showed that the growth of nano-order crystalline phases Ca(Ti,Mg,Al)(Si,Al)2O6, and NaAlSiO4 reduced the optical transmittance from a factor of 55% to 6% at the ultraviolet band (290 to 400 nm). The relevance of this work is shown on the effect of size and concentration of crystalline phases, that contributes to the optical absorption of ultraviolet radiation

Full textO objeto central desta pesquisa é analisar a gestão dos resíduos sólidos de serviços de saúde (RSS) em unidades hospitalares localizadas na cidade de Aracaju/SE. Especificamente, busca: descrever os procedimentos de segregação, acondicionamento, coleta, armazenamento, transporte, tratamento e disposição final dos RSS; analisar o grau de conhecimento dos funcionários das unidades hospitalares sobre a gestão desses resíduos e efetuar análise comparativa das práticas de gestão dos RSS nas unidades hospitalares pesquisadas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritivo-exploratória, cuja estratégia de pesquisa adotada foi estudo de casos múltiplos. A coleta de dados foi realizada através de aplicação de questionário semiestruturado, observação in loco, com auxílio de roteiro e com análise de documentos. A população pesquisada é formada por 285 profissionais pertencentes à equipe clínica (médicos, enfermeiros, técnicos e auxiliares de enfermagem) e higienizadores dos três hospitais analisados, definidos através da técnica de amostragem não probabilística por cotas. As técnicas utilizadas para a análise dos dados foram o software SPSS, a análise de conteúdo e a triangulação dos dados. Verificou-se que todas as unidades de saúde pesquisadas apresentaram problemas com relação à segregação inadequada dos resíduos. Os três hospitais pesquisados apresentam os mesmos procedimentos com relação à segregação, acondicionamento, coleta, armazenamento, transporte, tratamento e disposição final dos RSS. Em dois estabelecimentos, os locais utilizados para o armazenamento externo dos resíduos não atendem às normas vigentes. Os hospitais privados apresentaram o PGRSS devidamente atualizado e estruturado e procuram atender às normas vigentes e sua correta aplicabilidade. Constatou-se, entretanto, que os profissionais entrevistados, em todos os hospitais, possuem reduzido grau de conhecimento sobre as questões relacionadas à gestão dos RSS realizada pelas unidades de saúde. De um modo geral, verificou-se que os estabelecimentos avaliados necessitam implantar uma política de capacitação, com utilização de mecanismos atrativos e eficientes para o treinamento dos profissionais envolvidos no manejo dos RSS.

Full textThis research has aimed at studying the perception of University Hospital Onofre Lopes (HUOL) s workers on the environmental management plan of RSSS. They have been interviewed 250 workers: doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, and cleaners. It was used an exploratory and descriptive research of the type Survey, which aims at obtaining of data or information on characteristics, actions or opinions of any group of people. The questions of the questionnaire were of the kind objective", formulated in a model "scale", analyzed in according to the positioning of the interviewee. The wastes of health service have high potential for environmental impact in the activities from HUOL. Actions or environmental protective policy can improve the image of HUOL. They have been detected divergences on the rigor in application of law of ANVISA. The HUOL s workers unaware of the law of ANVISA and they have little or no knowledge about the practices of environmental control, public health and, they do not know the Environmental Management System ISO 14001. They have divergent views on the degree of importance of ISO 14001. There is not a Waste Management Plan for Health Service and / or is not disclosed for most of HUOL workers. It has not carried out audits or defined the goals and objectives. Besides, it has not been identified legal requirements, and there has not been communication about the service is performed or has been made a critical analysis and no control of documents the environmental management plan. The HUOL have not had a committee of environmental management. The direction of HUOL has not been organized courses, training and recycling of waste on environmental control of the health service. On a scale from 01 to 05, the level of aware level concerning to the waste management from health services of the workers, so is at the threshold between 01 and 02. For the reversal of this situation, the first and urgent step is the creation and institutionalization the environmental management committee of the University Hospital Onofre Lopes
