2021
Introduction: This study seeks to obtain greater knowledge about the actions and strategies used by nurses for the prevention of Bloodstream Infection associated with the use of PICC in neonates. Objective: The aim of the study is to describe the knowledge of nursing students about factors related to ICS associated with the use of PICC in neonates and the strategies used for prevention. Method: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach that was carried out with nursing students from the 6th to the 10th period of the Undergraduate Nursing Course at the University of Mogi das Cruzes, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Results and discussion: To compose this study, sociodemographic data were collected to better understand the participating public. A total of 22 undergraduate nursing students were invited, 81.82 females, and 18.18% males, with varying ages, up to 25 years old (68.18%), 25 to 35 years old (18, 18%), 35 to 45 years (9.09%) and from 45 years onwards (4.55%). According to the results obtained through a questionnaire separated by themes, we emphasize that the interviewed students demonstrated agreement with what the literature says about the importance of training for passing and maintaining the PICC and other care aimed at preventing associated ICS, not being restricted only to the nurse, but also to the entire nursing team that is directly involved in the care. Conclusion: The collected data and their respective results demonstrate a satisfactory knowledge of undergraduates about the applied questions, showing that the objective of this study was achieved. A limitation of this study was the scarcity of researches carried out with undergraduate nursing students in relation to the use of PICCs in newborns, as most of the reported researches are carried out with professionals who have already graduated, showing a different reality and perspective.
