- Abstract
The work accident occurs during the work exercise within the company. Nursing workers are exposed to various occupational hazards in order to highlight the prevalence of biological risks. The objective was to investigate the prevalence, as well as the intervention, of occupational risks in the work process of nurses. This is a descriptive, exploratory study, supported by an integrative literature review, conducted in the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature and Scientific Electronic Library Online. Data collection was performed during the second semester of 2016. The sample consisted of 30 scientific articles published during the period 2009-2016. In the sample analyzed, there was a prevalence of occupational accidents in the nursing staff due to the handling of sharps contaminated with biological fluid. The most affected category were nursing technicians. In these studies, work overload associated with physical and mental stress is pointed as the main cause of these accidents. Physical, chemical or accident risk factors make minimal contribution to their occurrence. It is noted that in some studies, personal protective equipment is not properly available to the worker in order to facilitate the acquisition of a work accident, as well as a work-related musculoskeletal disease. Therefore, the creation of protocols and programs of permanent education for health professionals is of fundamental importance for the improvement of practical and routine forms of accident prevention, as well as exposure to risk situations.
