Dating recent alluvial sediments in the Wicklow Mountains
Authors: Thorp Martin , Gallagher Colman
Published: January 2024

Modern floodplain sediments in the Wicklow Mountains display a stratigraphy and sedimentology that contrasts them with earlier Holocene alluvium. During previous research 14C dates of lightly constrained stratigraphies in one valley indicated a commencement date between 190+/-60 yr BP and 580+/-50 yr BP and mining generated enhanced lead metal values in another valley implied a commencement date there of AD 1780–1800. The paper presents the results of a 14C dating programme the objects of which were to date (a) more definitively their commencement throughout the Wicklow Mountains and (b) their internal stratigraphies with a view to establishing a Hood chronology. AMS and radiometric 14C dating techniques were applied to organic fractions and paniculate organic matter extracted from thin organic-rich layers within sampled sedimentary sequences. The dates spanned 780+/-60 BP to 3396+/-46 BP and provided neither a Coherent commencement period nor an accurate chronostratigraphy and the modern sediments appear to be dominated by old carbon derived from the catchment blanket peats. Although these results show that the immediate research aims cannot be achieved using 14C dating they have led to a clearer understanding of the sourcing and dynamics of the modern style of sedimentation.
The evolution of the spatial structure of the Irish dairy processing industry
Authors: Breathnach Proinnsias
Published: January 2024

The Irish dairy processing industry has undergone a profound process of spatial reorganisation since the original introduction of the creamery system in the late nineteenth century. This process is described in the form of six distinct but interwoven episodes: the elimination of the privately-owned creameries, the amalgamation of dairy co-operatives into larger units, internal rationalisation of processing within these units (including the closure of branch creameries), concentration of on-farm milk production and, most recently, internationalisation accompanied by the movement towards privatisation of the largest dairy processing co-operatives. Among the outcomes of these combined processes have been the widespread elimination of dairy farmers from the industry and the reduction of those remaining to the essential status of contract suppliers to large agribusiness enterprises whose primary orientation is now increasingly focused on private shareholders and overseas operations.
The development of the Ballymun housing scheme, Dublin 1965-1969
Authors: Power Sinead
Published: January 2024

The contract for the planning, design and construction of the Ballymun housing scheme was signed on the 2nd February 1965. Over the four-year tenure of this contract a total of 3021 dwellings, some of which reached fifteen storeys in height were constructed using industrialised system-building methods. This paper examines the structural and decision making environments surrounding the development of Ballymun. It charts the changing balance of power between central and local Government, the process by which the Department of Local Government became directly involved in the provision of housing in Dublin for the first time and the form of the contract negotiated.
Unsaturated zone travel time to groundwater on a vulnerable site
Authors: Richards Karl , Coxon Catherine E. , Ryan Michael
Published: January 2024

A bromide (Br) tracing experiment was conducted to ascertain unsaturated zone travel time to groundwater on a site with a karstified limestone aquifer overlain by a thin free-draining overburden. Br tracer was applied to areas surrounding two boreholes; soil solution and groundwater Br concentrations were monitored. Bromide was first detected after eight and 34 days in the soil solution and groundwater. The quick break-through of the applied Br in the soil solution and groundwater indicates the presence of preferential flow in the soil at this site. The time to maximum groundwater Br concentration supports a dominant matrix flow path through the overburden and then preferential flow through the unsaturated limestone bedrock. The results indicated that the transport of conservative contaminants, such as nitrate, can be expected to occur in a single recharge season. The occurrence of preferential flow raises concerns over rapid transport of non-conservative contaminants such as faecal coliforms and this merits further investigation.
Angling resources in Lough Derg and Lough Corrib: perceptions of visiting anglers
Authors: Solon Eleanor , Brunt Barry
Published: January 2024

Angling in Ireland has been identified as a recreational activity derived from natural resources which has significant potential as a tourist product for both domestic and international users. Within this paper, emphasis is placed on identifying the needs and requirements of visiting anglers to two inland lakes, and evaluating, from their perspective, the provision of angling resources and associated facilities and services. They are recognised as informed users and provide a critical source of information regarding the strengths and weaknesses of angling tourism in both Lough Derg and Lough Corrib.
Late Quaternary paraglacial sedimentation in the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, southwest Ireland
Authors: Anderson Ed , Harrison Stephan
Published: January 2024

Talus slopes in the Curraghmore cirque basin in the Macgillycuddy's Reeks have developed since the end of the Glenavy Stadial (Last Glacial Maximum; MIS 2). The site lay outside Younger Dryas glacier limits and, as a result, thick rockfall and debris flow accumulations form a significant landform assemblage draping lower hillslopes. Rockwall retreat rates since icesheet deglaciation average 0.08mm per year, and 0.2mm per year up to the beginning of the Holocene.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA): a tool for environmental decision-making
Authors: Desmond Margaret
Published: January 2024

The project level decision making context of Environmental Impact Assessment is often seen as being unable to deliver on sustainability. Sustainability will only be realized if consideration is given to the environment at higher decision making levels including those of policy, plan and programme (PPP). Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), the environmental assessment of PPPs and their alternatives, is gaining widespread recognition as a supporting tool for decision making orientated towards achieving sustainability. This review paper explores some key principles and characteristics that should underpin the SEA process if it is to contribute to the design of more sustainable policies and strategies. It also sets out the current state of the art of SEA in Ireland and makes some suggestions for the future directions of the process. Key index words: Strategic Environmental Assessment, sustainability, environmental decision making, Ireland.
The contribution of the overseas ICT sector to expanding R&D investment in Ireland
Authors: Grimes Seamus , Collins Patrick
Published: January 2024

This paper traces the evolution of R&D investment by overseas companies in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector in Ireland in recent years. This investment is seen as a further stage in the evolution of ICT subsidiaries from an earlier focus on manufacturing to an increasing involvement in higher value-added activities such as internationally traded services. The recent targeting of R&D foreign direct investment coincides with a major increase of investment by the state in research and innovation, primarily through Science Foundation Ireland and the creation of research links between third level institutes. In addition to tracing Ireland’s aggregate R&D trends, the paper examines some case studies of R&D investments by foreign-owned ICT companies, and suggests some policy implications.
The Cork City flood of November 2009: Lessons for flood risk management and climate change adaptation at the urban scale
Authors: Jeffers James M.
Published: January 2024

Flood hazards are a pressing challenge in several Irish and European cities and their impacts seem likely to intensify as climate change brings sea level rise, changes in storm patterns and increases in rainfall. Drawing on the example of Cork City and the November 2009 flood in particular, this paper evaluates contemporary policy and decision-making responses to flood hazards to determine whether they are sufficient to address current and future flood risks and vulnerabilities. It is clear that current policy and practice remains heavily influenced by a risk management paradigm that emphasises physical exposure and largely ignores socio-economic vulnerability. Floods and the losses they induce are seen as identical while engineering and technological fixes are viewed as the optimal means of reducing future flood losses. This framing of flood hazards is shaped by several influences including the historic evolution of flood policy and current institutional structures. The November 2009 flood highlights the limits of current policy and practice. Recent changes in national and European policy may also prove to be ineffective in facilitating effective adaptation and further changes in policy and practice are likely to be required.
Experiencing Dublin’s Docklands: perceptions of employment and amenity changes in the Sheriff Street community
Authors: Doucet Brian , Duignan Enda
Published: January 2024

Flagship projects and gentrification have a profound impact on the neighbourhoods which surround them. At present, most studies focus on their housing implications. We seek to engage in a broader understanding of their effects by examining the ways in which residents of a low-income neighbourhood adjacent to a new waterfront development perceive and experience changes in employment opportunities and local amenities which have arisen because of this project. We will examine the discourses of long-term residents (those residing for more than 25 years) of the Sheriff Street neighbourhood one of the city’s most deprived towards the new Dublin Docklands and its International Financial Services Centre (IFSC). This type of engagement with non-gentrifying groups is currently lacking from academic research and consequently limits our full understanding of the impact of these spaces.What we have found is a complex and nuanced picture, where residents are both optimistic and disappointed by the impact the project has had on their lives. Through the addition of new amenities catering to middleclass users, the Docklands reinforces old, and creates new, socio-economic divisions within the area.
The development and geographic distribution of organic farming in Ireland
Authors: Lapple Doris , Cullinan John
Published: January 2024

This paper explores the development and spatial distribution of organic farming in Ireland. The focus is on the impact of policy, agricultural systems, soil quality, market access, information provision and the influence of neighbouring organic farmers on this development. Geocoded data on organic farms are mapped and spatial concentration is estimated using a location quotient. The results suggest that while organic farming is spread over most of the country, there is evidence of three main spatial clusters. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of organic farming appears to be based on the interaction of a number of determining factors. While certain agricultural systems and soil qualities provide favourable conversion conditions, regional supports, information provision and the impact of pioneering organic farmers may influence spatial clustering of organic farming. In addition, while the availability of organic market outlets is important for organic farming, no clear spatial effect is evident. The paper concludes with a discussion of some policy recommendations aimed at increasing the size of the organic sector.
Carbon emissions and removals from Irish peatlands: present trends and future mitigation measures
Authors: Wilson David , Müller Christoph , Renou-Wilson Florence
Published: January 2024

In the Republic of Ireland, peatlands cover an estimated 20% of the land area and have been widely utilised over the centuries for energy production, agriculture, forestry and horticultural production. Current estimates suggest that only a small proportion of Irish peatlands are in a natural condition, and that the remainder are either moderately or severely damaged. In this paper, we reviewed carbon (C) studies for the major peatland land uses in Ireland and have estimated that at the national level, emissions from Irish peatlands and related activities (e.g. combustion, horticulture) are around 3 Mt C each year to the atmosphere. However, large uncertainties are associated with this value (1.3–4.7 Mt C yr−1) due to a paucity of field studies for some peatland land uses (particularly cutover peatlands). Mitigation measures to reduce national emissions from peatlands could include: (1) a stronger enforcement approach to protect and enhance the C store in natural peatlands, (2) the rewetting / restoration of degraded peatlands to reduce emissions and create suitable conditions for C sequestration and (3) the use of alternative non-peat sources for energy production and horticulture use.
University–industry links in R&D and consultancy in Ireland's indigenous high-tech sector
Authors: Barry Almar M. , Fenton Mary
Published: January 2024

Between 1995 and 2007, the Irish Government implemented a variety of measures designed to enhance the infrastructure and profile of research activities in Irish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The aim was to foster a culture of innovation-led academic entrepreneurship and, thereby, develop links between HEIs and indigenous industry in Ireland, with particular emphasis on research and development (R&D) links. This paper analyses the barriers and stimulants to the creation and maintenance of links between HEIs and industry and focuses specifically on R&D and consultancy links. The findings indicate that indigenous high-tech firms are not the key benefactors of Ireland’s science and technology (S&T) base. Whilst firms are engaging in innovative activities, HEIs are excluded from such developments. Teaching and training links constitute the most common form of interaction, not R&D links and consultancy links, as might have been expected.
Monuments to the Duke of Wellington in nineteenth-century Ireland: forging British and imperial identities
Authors: Stedman Heather
Published: January 2024

During the nineteenth century, the first Duke of Wellington’s renown was such that the inhabitants of Britain and Ireland funded a number of public monuments to celebrate his life and achievements. Three examples of these works were raised in Ireland, his native country. They were located in Dublin, Meath and Tipperary, respectively. Through unravelling the history of these monuments in the nineteenth century, this article explores how concepts of identity found form and expression, were shaped and reshaped, in and through the Irish landscape. The political and geographic context, combined with the personal associations of the commemorative subject, offer particular opportunity for the exploration of British and imperial identities, their composition and their relative strength and prevalence in the cultural landscapes of nineteenth-century Ireland. The nature and significance of Protestant Ascendancy and Roman Catholic interactions with the monuments are also considered.
Geographies of Science and Religion: Catholics, the British Association and Repeal Agitation in Cork (1843)
Authors: Toal Ciaran
Published: January 2024

This paper examines the first and only visit to Cork, Ireland, in 1843 of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS). Although meetings were supposed to be free from political and religious concerns, this was far from the case in Cork: rumours of repeal agitation, partisan political-religious commentary from the visiting members, or even hints of a connection between the BAAS and the local campaign for a secular Queen’s College, helped to tarnish the Association’s reputation, and render the meeting a disaster. This paper sheds light on an important episode in the Association’s history. It also builds on recent work in historical geography, which is sensitive to the role that place and particular social spaces play in mediating science-religion relations. The paper also advances a number of arguments. First, Associational science and its related activities were always ‘geographically contingent’, and the towns and cities in which the BAAS met played a key role in shaping proceedings and, in turn, how science-religion relations were discussed or contested. Second, the Association’s claim to impartiality had a geography, and in unfamiliar Cork, away from the comfortable confines of Oxford or Edinburgh, it is clear that what the leaders considered as objective, was really tainted by liberal Anglicanism.

Media can be important in the success or failure of conservation projects. This study examined newspaper coverage of the white-tailed eagle reintroduction to the Republic of Ireland to examine public awareness and attitudes towards the project, and the resultant influence on changes to national legislation and the likely success of the project in the future. National, local newspaper and a special-interest farming newspaper articles, from 2007-2011, were categorised as ‘positive’, ‘negative’ or ‘ambiguous’ according to their portrayal of eagles. Media coverage in terms of the number and valence of articles published is discussed in the context of key events during the study period, namely poisoning incidents, increased stakeholder engagement and changes to national legislation. The eagles received considerable newspaper coverage: most articles were in 2007, the first year of white-tailed eagle reintroduction, and 2010, when the issue of poisoning was finally addressed in Irish legislation. Articles were mostly positive while project staff engaged with media throughout the study period providing updates, condemning poisonings and responding to misinformation published. The future prospects for the project seemed positive, with appropriate newspaper coverage and information relating to legislative changes to benefit white-tailed eagles and several other species.
A forgotten tier of local government – the impact of rural district councils on the landscape of early twentieth century Ireland
Authors: Crampsie Arlene
Published: January 2024

The Local Government (Ireland) Act of 1898 revolutionised local government in Ireland through the introduction of democratic, representative, local self-government in the form of county councils, urban district councils and rural district councils. While the first two of these formed the basis of Irish local government in the Free State, rural district councils were abolished within three years of Irish independence, in 1925. Subsequently, these rural authorities have been almost entirely written out of Irish historiography, despite the transformation they enacted across the landscape between 1899 and 1925. This paper seeks to remedy this absence by providing an overview of the operation of this short-lived tier of local government and evaluating its impact on the landscape of early twentieth century Ireland.
The regional dimension of national education in pre-Famine Ireland
Authors: Lougheed Kevin
Published: January 2024

The establishment of the National Education System in 1831 provided Ireland with a non-denominational education system aimed at reducing sectarian distrust and uniting the population. The national system was one element in the wider emergence of an institutional landscape in nineteenth century Ireland. The system involved a central-local management structure with the Commissioners of National Education having tight central control of an overall system but relied on local impetus to apply for, establish, and operate individual schools. As a result of this interaction, the emergence of national education was dependent on activities of various individuals and groups in Irish society, most notably the hierarchies of the various Churches. This paper examines the geographic aspects of the emergence of national education in the landscape of pre-Famine Ireland. The emergence of the system occurred in four distinct phases, with the activities of different groups affecting the uptake of national education. The distribution of national schools across the country is examined through thematic mapping, which identifies the development of distinct areas of high national-school densities and other areas of relative non-adoption. The pattern of national education in pre-Famine Ireland can be highly generalised by a line running from Sheephaven Bay in Donegal to Waterford Harbour, with the areas east of this line exhibiting high rates of national-school establishment, and areas to the west experiencing low national-school establishment. Spatial analysis is used to detect clusters of densities and provides further evidence of the spatial nature of national education. The spatial analysis is combined with the thematic mapping and discussion to produce a general regional map of the emergence of national education in pre-Famine Ireland. The regional map illustrates the role that social interactions played in the spatial emergence of institutions of the British state in nineteenth century Ireland.
The Liffey and a bridge too far: Bridge-building and governance in Dublin 1870-1960
Authors: Brady Joseph
Published: January 2024

There are currently 23 bridges over the Liffey westwards from Lucan but only five of them were built east of O’Connell Bridge since 1850 and one is a pedestrian only bridge. This was despite a pressing need for a better system of traffic circulation that was obvious from the middle of the nineteenth century as the city and its docklands continued their eastwards expansion. That need was recognised by the civic authorities but the complex system of local governance with overlapping responsibilities ensured that satisfactory solutions were difficult to achieve. There were issues of power, of funding and of taxation as well as competing needs. Even the naming of bridges could not be easily accomplished. This paper examines the issue of bridge provision from 1880, the year that the widened Carlisle Bridge was reopened as O’Connell Bridge. The main focus of attention will be the initial building of Butt Bridge, its subsequent rebuilding and the intractable problem of building a bridge to the east of Butt Bridge. A novel solution in the form of a transporter bridge was proposed, which would have added a distinctive element to the city’s streetscape but nothing was accomplished in the thirty years to 1960.The city of Dublin during the period 1930-1950 has not been widely studied. Using a variety of sources, newspapers, civic minutes, Oireachtas debates, maps, photographs and graphics, this paper aims to shed light on one important aspect of civic governance and to show how the city might have been transformed had matters been handled in a different way.
Orthotrichum cupulatum Hoffm. ex Brid. var. lithophilum, a new variety of epilithic bristle moss from Tasmania
Authors: Plášek Vítězslav , Sawicki Jakub , Seppelt Rodney D. , Cave Lynette H.
Published: January 2024

Orthotrichum cupulatum var. lithophilum is described as a new variety from Tasmania, Australia. The species is primarily characterized by its exserted capsule with cryptoporous stomata, a single peristome with 16 exostome teeth, a bistratose lamina of stem leaves, and a densely hairy vaginula. Molecular data and a brief discussion comparing the newly described variety with the most closely related taxa are also provided. Molecular analyses based on complete plastome sequences clearly separated var. lithophilum from the typical form by 272 molecular diagnostic characters specific for Orthotrichum cupulatum var. lithophilum. The distinctiveness of the new taxon was also confirmed by plastome phylogenomics, which confirmed the monophyly of the new variety and its sister relationship to Orthotrichum cupulatum var. cupulatum.

Ventosaterapia como adjuvante da acupuntura no tratamento de Urticária Crônica: uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Da Silva Edla de Andrade Alves , Da Silva Ronald Santos , Galvão Júlia Alves Valois , De Lima Lucas Barbosa Patricio Ferreira , Da Silva Odair Alves
Published: January 2024

Urticária Crônica (UC) é uma alergia de pele caracterizada por manchas ruborizadas (urticas), com ou sem angioedema e prurido, e que duram mais de 6 semanas e podem se mover para outras partes do corpo. É comum os portadores desenvolverem ansiedade e depressão pois, a longo prazo, o tratamento com anti-histamínicos tende a gerar tolerância, sendo crucial a busca de alternativas. O uso da ventosaterapia (VT) na UC gera uma pressão negativa que estimula congestão e edema no tecido epitelial, acarretando o aumento da circulação local, da temperatura das lesões e do limiar da dor, favorecendo a ação da acupuntura (AC).

A hipertensão arterial é uma doença crônica não transmissível caracterizada por uma pressão arterial sistólica maior ou igual a 140 mmHg e/ou por uma pressão diastólica maior ou igual a 90 mmHg medida em duas ocasiões distintas. É determinada multifatorialmente e é assintomática inicialmente, mas, se não manejada adequadamente, é um fator de risco para doenças cardiovasculares, doenças renais crônicas e morte prematura. Assim, é essencial um tratamento medicamentoso aliado ao não medicamentoso no controle da doença. Nesse cenário, a prática do yoga é uma opção de terapia não farmacológica, já que combina posturas físicas, as asanas; técnicas de respiração, as pranayamas; relaxamento e meditação, ampliando a saúde física e mental.
Uso do teste de Rorschach na identificação de sintomas da Esquizofrenia: uma revisão de literatura

Published: January 2024

A esquizofrenia é um transtorno psicótico caracterizado por dissociações das funções psíquicas, como a desorganização de pensamento e a incapacidade de delimitar a realidade e a fantasia. Apesar de ter alta influência genética, fatores como traumas podem auxiliar no desenvolvimento dessa condição. Desse modo, o teste de Rorschach trata-se de uma ferramenta, que apesar de não ser considerada como diagnóstica pela Classificação internacional de Doenças (CID-10), mostrou-se eficaz na identificação psicológica da esquizofrenia. Esse teste, elaborado por Hermann Rorschach, consiste na apresentação de 10 manchas ao paciente e, a partir das respostas, traçar elementos da personalidade e identificar sintomas de sindromes, dentre elas a esquizofrenia.

Published: January 2024

De acordo com o Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais, o Transtorno de Oposição Desafiador (TOD) é uma condição caracterizada por padrões de comportamentos de oposição e irritabilidade crônica, que tem início entre as idades de 6 a 8 anos, ocorrendo raramente na adolescência. O Transtorno de Conduta (TC) apresenta-se como uma forma agravada do TOD, como resultado da persistência da conduta agressiva e desafiadora. O diagnóstico dos transtornos supracitados são de difícil acertividade devido à escassez de informações, a dificuldade de reconhecimento por cuidadores/familiares e profissionais da saúde, assim como o preconceito enraizado na sociedade a respeito das doenças mentais. Neste contexto, estão sendo estudados fatores de risco que podem ser associados ao desenvolvimento destes distúrbios e os papéis exercidos pela família e a escola no processo de identificação desses comportamentos.

Published: January 2024

O câncer de mama é o segundo tipo mais comum de câncer registrado entre mulheres. Uma das formas de tratamento mais eficazes é a mastectomia, que consiste na retirada total ou parcial da mama e linfonodos axilares, como uma forma de erradicar o tumor. Embora seja eficiente, a mastectomia pode ser vivenciada de forma traumática pela mulher, sendo considerada uma mutilação, visto que retira da mulher um símbolo de feminilidade e sensualidade. Assim, esse procedimento cirúrgico influencia, negativamente, a autoestima, estabilidade emocional e qualidade de vida das pacientes. Contudo, a reconstrução mamária pode restaurar a forma e integridade física, além de reduzir o impacto psicológico gerado pela cirurgia oncológica.

The Quality Index for School Meal Menus (Índice de Qualidade para Cardápios da Alimentação Escolar – IQCAE) is a tool that considers the nutritional and cultural dimensions of the menu. The IQCAE validation process showed the need to update it according to current resolutions and the planetary health emergency. To review and validate the new version of the IQCAE. This methodological study used a convenience sample of 425 municipalities proportionally distributed across the regions of Brazil, with 2,125 school menus offered from Monday to Friday. The tool was reviewed in two stages: the creation of a group of expert researchers and the analysis of the theoretical framework to define the components of the reviewed index. Criterion validity, structural validity, reliability, and reproducibility were assessed for validation. The IQCAE-R has 14 components, and its criterion validity is supported by moderate agreement between the experts’ evaluation and its application to the menus. Regarding reproducibility, the mean scores of the evaluators showed no difference, showing that the tool provides the same result when applied repeatedly. Internal consistency was verified using the Spearman correlation, which ranged from weak to very strong. Finally, exploratory factor analysis was satisfactory for most items. The IQCAE-R met the validity and reliability criteria for evaluating school menus and incorporates sustainability components, current recommendations, and current PNAE guidelines.

O presente trabalho objetiva analisar recomendações clínicas com a finalidade de demonstrar formas de prevenção e controle de Infecções Hospitalates (IH), evitando sua disseminação e agravamento do quadro clínico dos pacientes hospitalizados em situação de trauma e emergência. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). As bases de dados selecionadas foram: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Literatura LatinoAmericana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud (IBECS) e Base de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF). Por meio deste parâmetro de busca, obteve-se 128 artigos e, após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, apenas 07 estudos foram selecionados para compor a amostra final. Os pacientes recebidos nas unidades emergentes e que adquirem IH devem ser isolados. Visitantes e profissionais devem ser educados a respeito de medidas preventivas, como lavar as mãos, minimizar o contato, utilização de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI), dentre outros. Para controlar essas situações, o atendimento realizado nas emergências também deve ser bastante verificado e os profissionais devem estar preparados para seguir os preceitos dos contaminantes de risco. O estudo aponta que a qualidade do serviço prestado pelos profissionais pode vir a afetar diretamente a segurança do paciente com trauma. Atendimentos imediatos e rápidos podem colocar o paciente em risco de adquirir alguma IH. Por essa razão, a educação de todos os profissionais de saúde faz-se necessária, a fim de que sejam conscientizados sobre as formas de disseminação da IH.
