【 摘 要 】

OBJECTIVE: To determine the profile, vaccination status and the motivating factors that lead nurses of a university hospital to get vaccinated against influenza in order to maximize coverage through adequate operational/educational strategies. METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive study with a sample size of 265 nurses. RESULTS: Vaccination coverage was found to be 49.8% in 2009, 92.4% in 2010 and 95.4% in 2011. The professional profile with better adherence to vaccination was the mid level, female, 41-50 years, separated/divorced, not living with people susceptible to influenza, except chronic patient, also with more than one employment bond, placed at emergency where they often have contact with patients, trained and working for over 20 years, vaccinated in their own work sector, motivated by self-protection. CONCLUSION: The coverage percentage of 92.5% in 2010 and 95.4% in 2011, were considered exceptional within the current global reality. Educational actions within the institution created an incorporated culture of biosafety related to the topic.
