[Educational program in universal precaution measures: a methodological approach].

Abstract

An updating program on measures of universal precautions (M.U.P.) was developed at the Center of Whole Care of Woman's Health (Centro de Atenção Integral à Saúde da Mulher-CAISM). These measures and the procedures in the case of work accident were published in a booklet. First, servants should be aware of the matter of stress and its influence on the quality of life. Then, updating was carried through encouraging the reflection on the consequences of the non-adoption of M.U.P. The answers to 286 pre-tests and 242 post-tests were analyzed and the results showed a significantly higher index of correct answers (p < 0.01), mainly regarding the appropriate use of glove.

[Expertise in occupational health nursing (I). Report on a visit to US occupational health institutions].

As industries' structures have evolved and diversified recently, the framework of occupational health nursing has been expanded on multidisciplinary bases. On the occasion of the opening of the School of Health Sciences, University of Occupational and Environmental Health, Japan (UOEH), the author was given an opportunity to visit US administrations, academic institutions and some industries to investigate occupational medicine and health nursing in that country. And as the author took part in programming the 17th UOEH International Symposium on Occupational Health Nursing Expertise that took place at the campus of the University in October, 1997, these two events are reported in this paper. The first part of the report is on the visit to the US occupational health professionals including occupational health doctors, nurses, industrial hygienists and other staffs. They have perceived that there has never been more emphasis placed on the significance of occupational health services than in recent years, and that young students have become more interested in occupational health. The second report will be on the 17th UOEH International Symposium--Occupational Health Nursing Expertise--the next time.
