Resumen
Healthcare personnel are often exposed to blood or other people’s bodily fluids in their work environment which increases their chance of contamination of transmissible diseases. The main aim of this research is to analyze what were the circumstances that led to the occurrence of occupational injuries with healthcare professionals, practitioners, and students reported at the Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação – SINAN, between August 2006 and August 2012, in the city of Curitiba and Metropolitan Area. The specific objectives were to verify the amount of accidents with needlestics and other sharps materials, and score the circumstances of such accidents; to determine which of the accidents occurred from inappropriate procedures; and to quantify the amount of accidents under these circumstances. A descriptive method with a retrospective character has been used based on secondary data. The results have shown the importance of investing in healthcare personnels’ understanding of the procedures for good self-care, of trying their best professional practice, and of the personal and legal implications that involve occupational accidents with sharps material.
