Item Knowledge of Management of Health Waste in COVID-19 for Environmental Impact(Instituto de Tecnologia e Educação Galileo da Amazônia, 2022) SILVA, Pollyana da Conceição Andrade; CAMPOS, Paola Souto; LEITE, Jandecy CabralThe COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted healthcare waste (HCW) generation, raising concerns about proper management. This study investigated healthcare professionals' knowledge of waste management during the pandemic and its environmental impact. The research was conducted with 55 healthcare professionals in a public hospital in Manaus, Amazonas. The results showed that although most respondents recognized the existence of protocols for handling contaminated waste, many were unaware of the Healthcare Waste Management Plan (HCWMP) and had not received adequate training on the subject. The lack of knowledge may compromise proper waste disposal and increase negative environmental impacts.Item The Disposal of Needles and Syringes During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Iranduba Health System(Instituto de Tecnologia e Educação Galileo da Amazônia, 2022) AZEVEDO FILHO, Walter da Cunha Coautor: SOUTO, Paola Campos; LEITE, Jandecy CabralThis paper aimed to develop evidence-based guidelines to make the disposal of syringes and needles used in COVID-19 vaccinations safer and healthier in the Basic Health Units (UBS) of the Iranduba Health System. The research was based on an observational analysis of how healthcare waste was discarded in 2021. Additionally, a literature review was conducted. The findings indicated that disposal practices were inadequate, with syringes and needles being discarded in the same collection box along with other hospital waste, some of which could be recycled. This improper disposal posed significant risks of infection to healthcare workers. As a solution, the study proposes strategies for proper waste disposal to protect workers' health and ensure environmental sustainability.Item As formas de descarte de agulhas e seringas em época de pandemia da COVID-19 no sistema de saúde de Iranduba(Instituto de Tecnologia e Educação Galileo da Amazônia, 2024-10) AZEVEDO, Walter da Cunha; CAMPOS, Paola SoutoThis study analyzes the disposal process of needles and syringes used during COVID-19 vaccination in the municipality of Iranduba, Amazonas. The research investigates whether these waste disposal practices comply with Brazilian laws and regulations, such as the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12,305/2010) and CONAMA Resolution No. 358/2005. The study also assesses the adequacy of disposal practices in Basic Health Units (UBS) and proposes strategies to improve waste management, especially in rural areas, to protect public health and the environment.Item As formas de descarte de agulhas e seringas em época de pandemia da Covid-19 no Sistema de Saúde de Iranduba(Instituto de Tecnologia e Educação Galileo da Amazônia, 2022-06-23) AZEVEDO FILHO, Walter da Cunha; CAMPOS, Paola Souto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6414810834266975Developing evidence-based guidelines to make the disposal of used injection devices safer is the goal of this research. The study was based on a meticulous process of visual observation in a specific vaccination post in the Iranduba City, State of Amazonas, and not on any process used to observe just for observing. The study was motivated by the increased interest in knowing how to dispose of these syringes used in vaccination against covid-19, since the demand for vaccinated individuals is still large compared to other vaccines and, consequently, the number of syringes discarded is also unreasonably large when the same comparison is made. Also through a literature review, we sought to summarize the best evidence-based practices to prevent infections associated with the disposal of injection devices/syringes in inappropriate environments. The development process included, for data collection, an observational analysis of how sanitary supplies were disposed of, used in vaccinations against covid-19 in 2021, in addition to an analysis of the World Health Organization's reference definition ( WHO) and the Ministry of Health of an injection syringe disposal in an appropriate and safe place, from after the immediate use until its final disposal followed by exclusive incineration. A literature review for each of these steps, the formulation of best practices and submission of the preliminary document for review were the steps of this research. At the end of this arduous research, it was conclusively noticeable the wrong and harmful way in which such solid waste was disposed of, since these materials, soon after their use, were allocated, in a collection box, together with other sanitary supplies, perhaps, the latter with the possibility of reuse or recycling, which would bring enormous risks to UBS workers in the face of the risk of infection from covid19.This article only discusses the necessary procedure to control the handling of syringes and needles already used in vaccination against covid-19.Item Conhecimento de Profissionais de Saúde sobre Gestão de Resíduos em tempos de Pandemia pela COVID-19: Estudo de caso no Hospital Federal Universitário Getúlio Vargas em Manaus-AM(Instituto de Tecnologia e Educação Galileo da Amazônia, 2022-06-07) SILVA, Pollyana da Conceição Andrade; CAMPOS, Paola Souto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6414810834266975Introduction: The lack of adequate knowledge about health service waste management (RSS) can generate local damage, such as the occurrence of biological accidents with contamination of co-workers or even patients, in addition to having a long-term impact on the environment. Where these wastes are disposed of. Training on the SSR Management Plan (PGRSS) is one of the processes implemented in health institutions that aims to reduce such impacts, however, what is the knowledge in fact that has been absorbed by health professionals in relation to this process? Aim: To analyze the knowledge of health professionals about waste management in times of a pandemic by COVID-19. Materials and Methods: This is a clinical, observational, cross-sectional, exploratory and descriptive study. The study population of interest consisted of 55 health professionals working at the Federal University Hospital Getulio Vargas in Manaus. The study included individuals who: are health care professionals at the institution of interest; were over 18 years old; accepted to participate in the study and signed the free and informed consent form; excluded from the study: health professionals who were not specifically working with COVID-19. To collect data from this study, forms with virtual application were used, aiming at practicality and ensuring social distance. The data were analyzed using the GraphPad Prism Software, version 22. Initially, the analysis was performed to define the normal distribution of the data, then parametric and/or nonparametric comparisons and correlations were performed to analyze the objectives of the study. The results were grouped in mean and standard deviation, and represented in descriptive frequency tables. This study followed the ethical precepts of Resolution 196/96 of the Ministry of Health, which aims at autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence and justice, among other rights of the research participant, by signing the Free and Informed Consent Form. The expected risks of the study were minimal, and all were carefully managed to best serve the participants.
