Objective:To analyze the risks of illnesses related to the work context of nursing workers in a psychiatric hospital. Method:Cross-sectional and quantitative study, developed in a psychiatric hospital with 74 nursing workers. The Work Context Assessment Scale was used to measure the risks of illness at work. Descriptive analyzes were performed with mean and standard deviation. To test the reliability of the data, the Cronbach’s alpha test was used. The correlation between the factors of the work context was tested using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results:The organization of work was considered serious, social-professional relationships were considered satisfactory and working conditions were considered severe for risks of illness at work. The repetitiveness of tasks, work conditions that pose risks to safety, inadequate furniture and physical structure of the workplace, and the existence of noise in the work environment were indicated as severe risks to workers’ health. Conclusion:The factor working conditions is the one that contributes the most to illness among nursing workers.
RESUMOObjetivo: discutir as implicações do perfil sociodemográfico e laboral, as condições de saúde e hábitos de vida para a saúde do trabalhador de enfermagem de um hospital psiquiátrico. Método: estudo transversal realizado com 74 participantes. Foi utilizado questionário para caracterização sociodemográfica, laboral e de condições de saúde e hábitos de vida. Resultados: verificou-se associação entre a categoria auxiliar/técnico de enfermagem da raça/cor preta (p<0,001), nível médio de escolaridade (p<0,001), carga horária semanal superior a 30 horas (p=0,007), mais de um vínculo empregatício (p=0,034), trabalho noturno (p=0,018) e transtorno mental comum (p=0,015). Observou-se associação significativa entre a categoria enfermeiro e o tempo de atuação no setor (p=0,028). Conclusão: os resultados sugerem que a natureza do trabalho executado exerce forte influência sobre a saúde do trabalhador, em especial sobre os auxiliares/técnicos de enfermagem.
