Análise do contributo da educação ambiental nas actividades de higiene e segurança no Centro de Saúde de Beluluane – Boane

Abstract

Hospitals, as health care providers, are complex organisations that involve health professionals in order to promote, protect and recover the health of the general population. With this in mind, this research aims to analyse the contribution of environmental education to hygiene and safety activities at the Beluluane-Boane Health Centre. The study adopted a qualitative case study approach. The study population consisted of nine (09) CSB employees working in the administration and cleaning areas of the health centre. The sample of this study was made up of five (05) employees working in the administration and cleaning areas of the CSB. The following data collection techniques were used in this study: semi-structured interviews and observation. To analyse the data, the content analysis technique was used, which is divided into three phases: pre-analysis, exploration of the material and treatment and interpretation of the results. As a way of guaranteeing ethical issues, a letter was drawn up which was accompanied by the credentials. Recommendations included the development and incorporation of an effective environmental education programme, with the aim of making staff and patients aware of the importance of environmental care in the health centre
