Resumo: |
This exploratory, cross-sectional descriptive and quantitativestudy was performed in 11 inpatient units of a large public teaching hospital in the city of Goiânia, Goias, Brazil. The general objective was to assess the safety of processed patient care equipment during transportand storage in inpatient units, and the specific objective was to identify those responsible for the equipment after processing and distribution to inpatient units, identify structural features and material resources available for transportation and storage of equipment in inpatient units, describe the handling of the equipment by the healthcare team with regard to the transportation of and storage of equipment in inpatient units, and to describe any factors that could contribute to contamination of the processed equipment during transport to and storage in inpatient units. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the hospital (Protocol 167/2011), and pertanent ethical aspects were observed. Data were collected from July to September 2012 using two instruments, both of which were evaluated and went through pilot testing: a check list completed through direct observation, and an interview of nurses responsible for managing each unit. Those responsible for the care, custody, and transportation of equipment were processed predominantly by practicing nurses (72.7%). No storage system from 11 inpatient units met all of the recommendations regarding the structural and material resources for the storage of processed equipment, ten units (90.9%) kept equipment in non-dedicated areas, and other materials were kept near products that were not sterilized. Access to clean storage was unrestricted in all units, and did not adhere to most of the recommendations for the storage and distribution of processed equipment, only three items had adhere, two with low frequency: inventory of processed equipment kept in the storage area (100.0%); proper identification of equipment on the shelves (27.3%), and maintaining stock rotation (9.1%). The nursing staff was most frequently involved in recorded events, the most frequent across all units being: "handled without proper hand hygiene" (20.0%) and "handled excessively" (18.3%) processed equipment. The event "opening the package and closing it again", considerede serious, was the most frequent in basins, gowns and drapes, which are products frequently packaged in pairs. The packages of compression dressings, gauze, and bandages often "fell down" and were picked up off the floor and used. The material sterilization center offered no carts to transport the processed equipment to inpatient units and the carts brought from the units themselves were open, with irregular and difficult to clean surfaces, like shopping carts, which are considered unsuitable for transport. The study also revealed carelessness on the part of the healthcare team with regard to processed equipment following distribution to inpatient units, which presents a risk to the maintenance of the sterile environment, and consequently, patient safety. |
