[Education and prevention of occupational risk; a study with nursing students].
A study has been done with nursing students on occupational risk, investigating bio-security measures. It has involved a sample of 30 students who had taken the basic subjects, being understood, they had already had the pre-requirements demanded: knowledge, techniques and the necessary procedures for HIV infection prevention. A semi-structured interview has been applied, obeying the ethics standards, about risk and reducing occupational risk, vulnerability, education and prevention. After analysing the speeches, it has been perceived that the nursing students learned their information, sought for information, therefore, they had cognitive level knowledge, but, had no inner knowledge. There have not been any conscious action able to generate a safe behavior. When dealing with the risk of contracting AIDS, they have not been able to have a political position as to Institutions in order to question occupational risk they would possibly be exposed, both as to a more conscious orientation about teaching practise and the Institution lack of protection measures.
