Bioseguridad y calidad en los servicios de salud en el personal de enfermería

Abstract

Biosafety is a set of protocols implemented in hospitals and healthcare centers where infectious agents that can cause severe or potentially lethal diseases are frequently handled. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to analyze the adaptation of biosafety measures and compliance with regulations among nursing personnel. The research was conducted under a qualitative approach, extracting concepts and knowledge based on experience and analyzing results focused on biosafety. A literature search was conducted in the Google Scholar database. There were 20 documents, including scientific articles and theses. The studies were carried out over the last five years in various regions of Ecuador. The findings indicate that biosafety measures primarily encompass hand hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment, and solid waste management. It can be concluded that biosafety measures are most commonly applied in intensive care settings and have been extensively studied in the context of the ongoing pandemic.
