Abstract

This study aimed to verify the adherence of nursing professionals working in a general ICU to the SCAI prevention bundle at a regional hospital in western Santa Catarina. This is a quantitative study carried out in the intensive care unit of a general hospital in western Santa Catarina. Data was collected from September to October 2024. Data was collected in the ICU through passive observation of adherence to the bundle to prevent SSTI infection. Four to five observations were made in the ICU every week for two months, taking into account the three work shifts. During the week, the researcher tried to intersperse the collection times, in order to cover all three shifts. The daily observation time was around 2 to 3 hours. 20 nursing technicians took part in the study. In terms of gender, there were 18 women and 2 men. All had been working in the ICU for more than 6 months. The study sample involved 165 observations of the nursing team while handling the CVC of patients hospitalized in this general ICU. The data presented showed low adherence to the bundle for the prevention of primary bloodstream infection and poor care according to Karter's PI. The results of the study show low adherence to the bundles for the prevention of PBI and poor care according to the Karter PI. Meeting the minimum requirements established by health regulatory agencies is essential for providing safe care, free of or with the lowest possible risk of harm to the patient.
