- Abstract
Objective: To associate risk factors of the preoperative period of potentially contaminated surgeries performed in a teaching hospital in the southern region of Brazil with the occurrence of surgical site infection in the postoperative period in the hospital and at home. Methods: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from February to June 2015 with 90 participants by means of individual data collection and observation, from the preoperative period, immediate postoperative period and up to seven days after discharge. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used for data analysis. Categorical variables were analyzed descriptively by simple frequency and percentages, and numerical variables by position and dispersion measurements. Results: The surgical site infection in the postoperative period in the hospital occurred in 10% of participants, and in the postoperative period at home in 46.7%. Risk factors: gender, age, underlying diseases, medications, alcoholism and smoking habits were significant for the development of these infections. Conclusion: Checking the health history and performing follow-up of surgical patients during the preoperative period and surgical recovery to reduce surgical site infection are recommended.
