to analyze waste management in urgency and emergency non-hospital health care service units.
Epidemiological cross-sectional study undertaken at three Non-Hospital Emergency Units. The data were collected using systematic observation, registered daily in a spreadsheet and checklist, and analyzed through descriptive statistics.
the generation of waste varied from 0.087 to 0.138 kg per patient per day. Waste management showed inadequacies in all stages, especially in the separation stage. Infectious waste was found together with common waste, preventing recycling, and piercing and cutting objects were mixed with waste from different groups, increasing the risk of occupational accidents.
the study reveals the lack of an institutional waste management policy, as demonstrated by the failure of operational stages, involving problems related to management, physical structure, material and human resources at the units. This is relevant for health care units, considering the quality of patient care and its interface with sustainability.
分析紧急和急诊非医院医疗服务单位的废物管理情况。
在三个非医院急诊科开展流行病学横断面研究。通过系统观察收集数据，每天记录在电子表格和清单中，并通过描述性统计进行分析。
每位患者每天产生的废物量在0.087至0.138千克之间。废物管理在各个阶段都存在不足，尤其是在分类阶段。感染性废物与普通废物混在一起，妨碍了回收利用，穿刺和切割物品与不同组别的废物混合，增加了职业事故风险。
该研究揭示了缺乏机构废物管理政策，这体现在运营阶段的失败，涉及单位的管理、物理结构、物资和人力资源等相关问题。考虑到患者护理质量及其与可持续性的关联，这对医疗单位具有重要意义。
