Objective:
To investigate the nursing professionals’ biosecurity in confronting COVID-19.
Methods:
This is a Survey type study. Nursing professionals were invited via messaging apps, using self-applied data collection forms. The sample selection (n=693) was non-probabilistic. A descriptive data analysis was conducted.
Results:
considering the biosafety aspects in facing COVID-19, 79.0% of the participants had not received training or considered it insufficient, 69.3% reported the lack of personal protective equipment during work, and 81.8% did not feel safe with the internal flux adaptations for handling COVID-19 cases.
Conclusion:
Continuous and effective nursing team training and personal protective equipment availability are necessary, as well as internal flow adjustments for attending suspected or confirmed cases.

Objective:
to identify the main biosafety measures for preventing COVID-19 in healthcare professionals.
Methods:
this is an integrative literature review, with studies published between January and July 2020, on the MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, LILACS, SciELo, Wiley Online Library, Cochrane CINAHL databases. The selection of studies followed the PRISMA recommendations.
Results:
among the 2,208 publications identified, 12 studies comprised the sample, which enabled the analysis in four thematic categories: The importance of using recommendations about the use of personal protective equipment; The restructuring of new operational and clinical routines and flows in the practice of services; Monitoring professionals, especially testing; Conducting training.
Conclusions:
the phenomena involved are innumerable, covering operational management and the training of teams to deal with highly infectious pathogens and disease outbreaks.

Objectives:
to develop a virtual simulation and learning laboratory in an immersive virtual world that enables students, nursing professionals as well as health professionals to experiment, reflect and contextualize biosafety actions, infection protection concepts and universal precautions.
Methods:
description of the development of the Immersive Learning Laboratory in Health and Nursing (LIASE) with a focus on biosafety, having as theoretical basis Kolb’s experimental learning cycle and the OpenSimulator platform.
Results:
development of the Immersive Learning Laboratory in Health and Nursing: Health Biosafety Module - contains five learning stations.
Final Considerations:
the development of LIASE indicates the possibility of supporting face-to-face learning in a practical laboratory and continuing the study and implementation with the target audience.

Objective:
to discuss the application of Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice for attire and unattire training in the context of COVID-19 and structure a practical guide to the application at this juncture.
Methods:
this methodological study described theoretical and practical aspects of the application of a simulation strategy as a technological training tool. An application guide was constructed from the search for evidence from the main health authority bodies in Brazil.
Results:
maximizing time in Deliberate Practice, feedback with evidence and psychological security are the principles of this strategy. The dynamic involves repetition and feedback. The application guide presents the sequence of actions for attire and unattire.
Final considerations:
coping with this pandemic requires appropriate use of personal protective equipment. The authors suggest the Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice as a technological educational tool for attire/unattire, since it encourages mastery performance.

Objective:
to analyze occupational accidents with exposure of nursing technicians to biological material in a school hospital.
Method:
nursing technicians were invited to answer a questionnaire related to occupational accidents with biological material.
Results:
275 professionals from 9 hospital units participated. 76% reported having suffered an accident and the variables “age group” and “employment regime” showed a significant association for accidents (p<0.05). Those hired by the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT - Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho) employment regime were 3.5 times more likely to suffer accidents (p=0.04) and institutional capacity building did not show statistical significance (p>0.05).
Conclusion:
the increase in the number of training did not ensure the reduction of occupational accidents with biological material; and nursing technicians under the age of 30 were more vulnerable. Professionals with a CLT labor contract were more affected than the statutory employees.
