to understand how healthcare waste management is developed by nursing professionals in hospitals.
qualitative research, whose theoretical and methodological frameworks were Complexity Theory and Grounded Theory. Thirty-two nursing professionals from a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were used.
nursing affects healthcare waste management multidimensionally. Shortage of materials and work overload were identified as factors that influence professionals' decision-making and increase the risk of improper waste disposal. The lack of knowledge on the subject also influences nursing practice. However, professionals value actions related to hazardous waste.
nursing professionals recognize themselves in healthcare waste management and understand the need to develop systemic awareness for sustainable practice.
