ABSTRACT

Introduction: There is no doubt that healthcare is done with the purpose of benefiting the patient; however, this process can raise some unintended harm. Described phenomena arising from the healthcare they generate harm to health, within these, nosocomial infections arising from the contribution from host conditions, infectious agents, and the maneuvers performed by the staff and their costumes clinical, including the cap. Goal: To identify the most common microorganisms in copings nursing students and their role in the chain of nosocomial infections. Material and Methods: A descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study was performed on 29 nursing students. For this, two events were studied, the first was to describe the time when students carry microorganisms from a contaminated site, the coping, and the second was to identify different microorganisms that colonize it. Results: Most relevant data were as follows: the students are played from 5 to 10 times the cap without washing their hands and after a contaminated procedure; cap washed every 8 days and students use the cap by more than 4 different hospitals at once. The organism was more clinically relevant Staphylococcus aureus. Conclusions: The fact that copings nursing students play a role in nosocomial infections is an issue that should be investigated more in depth. It is imperative to monitor such studies to implement preventive measures to limit the use of the coping during contact with the patient.
