Resumen
En estos centros de salud, el personal se encuentra expuesto principalmente a riesgos mecánicos y biológicos durante el manejo de objetos cortos punzantes. Aun cuando, existen medidas de bioseguridad establecidas por organismos nacionales e internacionales para la práctica laboral, se siguen presentando estos riesgos. En vista de estos riesgos que se generan, nace la necesidad de realizar este trabajo con el objetivo de evaluar el riesgo porexposición a objetos cortopunzantes. La institución bajo estudio, fueron los centros y subcentros de salud del área norte de la ciudad de Machala. Para ello se realizó un estudio epidemiológico de tipo transversal con información retrospectiva a través de implementación de un cuestionario con todos aquellos trabajadoresexpuestos a objetos corto punzantes como médicos, enfermeras, odontólogos, microscopistas laboratoristas, auxiliares de enfermería, laboratorio y odontología, conserjes entre otros, quedando la muestra conformada por 68 personas quienes presentaron algún tipo de lesión por objeto corto punzante. Este trabajo de investigación permitió desarrollar una guía para la prevención de pinchazos con el fin de minimizar, controlar, prevenir los riesgos y la presencia de accidentes enfermedades enlos trabajadores como parte de la seguridad y salud laboral.Se llegóa conclusiones y se establecieron recomendaciones pertinentes con vista a disminuir la accidentabilidad, mejorar la salud de los trabajadores y lograr mayor grado de seguridad en la labor que realizan.
In these health centers the staff is mainly exposed to mechanical and biological risks during the use of sharp objects. Even though there are biosecurity measures established by national and international agencies for the working practice, these risks are still present. In view of these risks that are generated, the necessity to do this work in order to assess the risk of exposure to sharp objects was born. The institutions under study were the health centers and health sub centers of the northern zone from Machala city. For this an epidemiological transverse study was executed with retrospective information through the implementation of a questionnaire with all those workers exposed to sharp objects such as doctors, nurses, dentists, microscopists, laboratory workers, nursing, laboratory and odontology assistants, janitors and others. The sample was formed of 68 people who had some type of injury by sharp object. This research allowedto develop a guide for preventing punctures in order to minimize, regulate, prevent risks and presence of accidents, diseases in workers as a part of the occupational and health security. Conclusions and recommendations were established with the objectiveto reduce the risks of accidents, improve the health of workers and get a greater extent of security in their work.
