Objetivo: describir la producción de literatura científica en las bases de datos científicas sobre las medidas de protección respiratoria de la infección tuberculosa durante el periodo 2012-2018.
Síntesis de contenido: revisión integrativa a través de: formulación de la pregunta de investigación, recolección de datos, evaluación, análisis e interpretación de datos y presentación de los resultados. 45 artículos cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Las características predominantes de los estudios fueron: año 2017 con mayor número de publicaciones, en el continente de África, la metodología de estudio cuantitativo cuasiexperimental. En los estudios se identificaron las características del respirador N95 y la mascarilla quirúrgica, los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de las medidas de protección respiratoria y programas educativos.
Conclusiones: se evidenció que el respirador N95 es la medida de protección individual más eficiente para el control de la infección tuberculosa en los TS. También se identificó la necesidad del diseño de programas educativos sobre las medidas de protección de la infección tuberculosa.
Introduction: health workers (TS) are vulnerable to tuberculosis infection. To this it is added the lack of knowledge of respiratory protection measures among TS, which can increase the individual risk of acquiring tuberculosis in health institutions.
Objective: to describe the production of scientific literature in scientific databases about respiratory protection measures for tuberculosis infection during the period 2012-2018.
Content synthesis: integrative review through: formulation of research question, data collection, evaluation, analysis and interpretation of data, and presentation of results. 45 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The predominant characteristics of the studies were: year 2017 with the largest number of publications, in the continent of Africa, the methodology of quasi-experimental quantitative study. The characteristics of the N95 respirator and surgical mask, the knowledge, attitudes and practice of respiratory protection measures and educational programs were identified in the studies.
Conclusions: it was shown that the N95 respirator is the most efficient individual protection measure for the control of tuberculosis infection among TS. The need for the design of educational programs on protection measures for tuberculosis infection was also identified.
Introdução: os trabalhadores de saúde (TS) são vulneráveis à infecção por TB. Além disso, há uma falta de conhecimento dos TS sobre medidas de proteção respiratória que podem aumentar o risco individual de adquirir tuberculose em instituições de saúde.
Objetivo: Descrever a produção de literatura científica em bases de dados sobre medidas de proteção respiratória para infecção por tuberculose no período de 2012 e 2018.
Síntese do conteúdo: revisão integrativa através de: formulação da questão da pesquisa, coleta de dados, avaliação, análise e interpretação dos dados e apresentação dos resultados. 45 artigos preencheram os critérios de inclusão. As características gerais dos estudos foram predominantes: ano de publicação em 2017, no continente africano, metodologia de estudo quantitativo quase experimental. Nos estudos, encontramos as características do respirador N95 e da máscara cirúrgica, conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas de medidas de proteção respiratória e programas educacionais.
Conclusões: o presente estudo mostrou que o respirador N95 é a medida de proteção individual mais eficiente para o controle da infecção tuberculosa em profissionais da saúde. A necessidade de elaborar programas educacionais sobre medidas de proteção contra a infecção tuberculosa também foi identificada.
