Abstract
In Italy since 15 years huge investments in term of human, material
and economical resources have been allocated to prevention.
However epidemiological data show unsatisfactory results. It?s
necessary and urgent to modify the general learning of prevention
in order to increase all the actors involved in social and productive
system.
The aim of our project is to improve competencies and knowledge
concerning hygiene in the workplace and prevention of nursing
personnel, using cooperative-learning model, concerning the
ways of transmission of infectious diseases, so that they will be
able to develop their activities and being motivated in the adoption
of safety proceedings.
The results indicate, in all the participants groups, an improvement
of their skills and knowledge about the correct behavioural
procedures to limit biological hazards for themselves and for
their patients. We observed increased motivation and awareness,
a greater ability to take action when they see the adoption of inadequate
or incorrect procedures by colleagues.
