Resumo: Viral Hepatitis B and C constitute a major public health problem worldwide and in Brazil, given their clinical features, high morbidity and mortality. These diseases are primarily parenterally transmitted, through contact with blood from infected individuals. Transmission can occur through cosmetic procedures that use needlestick materials, such as those involved in tattoos, piercings and manicure, due to lack of proper training or cleaning and sterilization. The goal of this study was to assess the knowledge of healthcare students on viral hepatitis, and the influence of their training on their attitude and preventive behavior when doing or having their nails done.

In all the tests, the significance level used was 5%. In the second stage of the study the approach was qualitative, with 24 last-year, nursing and medical female students, randomly invited to participate. The number of students from each course to be interviewed was determined by the saturation point. The mean ages of firstyear nursing and medical students were 19.8 and 20.1 years, respectively. The mean ages of fourth-year nursing students and sixth-year medical students were 22.4 and 24.7 years, respectively. Theoretical knowledge regarding hepatitis B and C was acquired throughout the academic training, whether concerning prevention, transmission or even definitions. Assessing the knowledge, attitude and ...
