ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Proper sorting of healthcare waste (HCW) constitutes an ongoing challenge for the safety of healthcare professionals, patients, and the environment. Correct segregation at the source is essential to prevent biological, chemical, and environmental risks. However, evidence demonstrates persistent vulnerabilities that compromise the effectiveness of this process. Objective: To describe the factors influencing the sorting of HCW by healthcare professionals in a hospital setting. Methodology: An integrative literature review was conducted. The search was performed in the CINAHL and PubMed databases, with no time restrictions, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies involving professionals directly engaged in patient care. Results: As this is a study protocol, it is expected to map and integrate scientific evidence regarding the main behavioral, organizational, and contextual factors that act as barriers or facilitators to the correct segregation of waste by professionals. Conclusions: The synthesis of the evidence will provide a solid theoretical foundation to optimize institutional guidelines, direct continuous education programs, and promote a more effective culture of occupational safety and environmental sustainability in healthcare facilities.
