Hospitais Saudáveis: A Sustentabilidade no Ambiente Hospitalar e o Papel do Enfermeiro Frente a Esse Desafio. 2020. 86 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciência e Meio Ambiente) – Instituto de Ciências Exatas e Naturais, Universidade Federal do Pará, Belém, 2020.https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/776The theme of this research is sustainability in the hospital environment. The environment is directly linked to the health-disease process, and there is even legislation specifically directed at so-called hospital waste. The issue of environmental sustainability should be part of the discussions in educational actions in the nursing area, as it encourages current and future professionals to reflect on health promotion in relation to environmental education and sustainability. Therefore, nursing has the duty to engage in this topic of extreme relevance to society. Given this, the objective of this research was to highlight the importance of sustainability in the hospital environment and the role of nurses in facing this challenge in the city of Manaus. In the methodological procedures, a descriptive and bibliographic research modality was used, based on works from 2000 to 2020, with consultations in the Scielo, BVS, Medline, and BDENF databases. As a result, 26 articles were selected for full reading, and after excluding those that did not meet the guiding question of the research, we obtained a total of 19 articles. The authors support the importance of nurses in the process of sustainability in the hospital environment, but despite being responsible for important functions, many are still unaware of the norms of more complex processes, such as the proper separation of hospital waste. It is concluded, therefore, that nurses should play a central role in measures related to hospital sustainability. Based on the results of studies in the area, some health institutions in Brazil, including in Manaus, have already implemented a sustainable policy, mainly through educational measures, implemented from graduation to the professional practice of nurses, considering the fundamental role of these professionals in leading necessary measures to achieve sustainability within the hospital and in the efficient management of sustainable hospitals.pdf.EnfermagemSustentabilidadeSaúdeAmbiente HospitalarGestão HospitalarDissertaçãoCiências da Saúde
