A study was undertaken in a pediatric teaching hospital to evaluate the nurses understanding about risk factors for nosocomial infections. The data were obtained in interviews with nurses of the emergency room, intensive and semi-intensive units. The analysis of the meaning of the conversation permitted the identification of the following risk factors: inadequacy of the hospital design and construction, deficiency of care equipments and supplies, understaffing, lack of education and training to the healthcare workers and orientation to the patients family.Downloads
