Background:
The use of protective measures by health professionals may be associated with COVID-19 prevention.
Objective:
To analyze how health professionals use COVID-19 protective measures in a hospital complex in a Brazilian capital city.
Methodology:
Descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of health professionals working in the fight against COVID-19. Data were collected through an online interview, with a structured questionnaire on their socio-occupational profile and use of COVID-19 protective measures. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests, and odds ratio.
Results:
Of the 104 participants, 57.7% were nurses, 66.7% had training in COVID-19 prevention at the workplace and tested negative for COVID-19 (p = 0.006), 59.2% reported availability and use of personal protective equipment (p = 0.05) and were not infected; 37.5% of professionals who used protective measures in aerosol-generating procedures tested negative for COVID-19.
Conclusion:
Protective measures reduced health professionals’ exposure to the risks of COVID-19 infection.
