Abstract

Quantitative, descriptive and exploratory research which aimed to unfold the knowledge, the adherence and
the value assigned by the nursing team of a renal diseases clinics about the central venous dressing in patients that were
submitted to hemodialysis. Data were collected through a non participant systematic observation and individual interview.
Analysis was conducted from the dimensions of the health beliefs model point of view. Results pointed out that the
subjects assign value to the susceptibility of the patient in use of central venous catheter and in hemodialysis treatment
to the development of infection as well as to the severity of the harms. They recognize the benefits of an assistance
practice with quality to its prevention. Gaps between knowledge and adherence to the protocols were observed, and the
adverse structural conditions were identified as the main barriers. Although workers know and assign value to the
institutional protocol of dressing, by recognizing its importance in the infection prevention, there is a need of administrative
and educational strategies for a closer relationship between theory and practice.
