Abstract

Objective: To understand the impacts of work accidents among nursing professionals. Methods: Descriptive, exploratory and quantitative study, carried out in September 2022, in a municipal hospital, located in Pinheiro-MA. Sample composed of 54 nursing professionals. For collection, a semi-structured and adapted questionnaire, Work Accidents among Nursing Professionals, was used. Results: The risk factor frequently involved in TAs was biological in nature, 77.2%, with the occurrence of at least one accident per professional per year, 63.6%. It was observed that the biggest risk factor mentioned, 36.36%, was those caused by sharps, and psychological disorders were the main sequelae among professionals, 9%. Conclusion: Among the occupational damages that most impacted the health of nursing workers, mental illness was the most mentioned. In identifying injuries, those of a biological nature due to the handling of sharp materials were the most representative.
