OBJECTIVES: to assess the effect of a compensatory workplace exercise program on workers with the purpose of reducing work-related stress and musculoskeletal pain. METHOD: quasi-experimental research with quantitative analysis of the data, involving 30 administrative workers from a Higher Education Public Institution. For data collection, questionnaires were used to characterize the workers, as well as the Workplace Stress Scale and the Corlett Diagram. The research took place in three stages: first: pre-test with the application of the questionnaires to the subjects; second: Workplace Exercise taking place twice a week, for 15 minutes, during a period of 10 weeks; third: post-test in which the subjects answered the questionnaires again. For data analysis, the descriptive statistics and non-parametric statistics were used through the Wilcoxon Test. RESULTS: work-related stress was present in the assessed workers, but there was no statistically significant reduction in the scores after undergoing Workplace Exercise. However, there was a statistically significant pain reduction in the neck, cervical, upper, middle and lower back, right thigh, left leg, right ankle and feet. CONCLUSION: the Workplace Exercise promoted a significant pain reduction in the spine, but did not result in a significant reduction in the levels of work-related stress.
Introdução: Envelhecer resulta em transformações biológicas que afetam os indivíduos de maneira heterogênea. A maioria dos sistemas orgânicos experimenta redução em suas funções motoras e cognitivas, interferindo na capacidade de adaptação frente a agentes estressores. Na pneumonia pelo SARS-CoV2, evidenciaram-se implicações da função pulmonar em idosos com doenças pulmonares crônicas. Objetivo: Investigar as evidências científicas sobre implicações clínicas da COVID-19 em indivíduos idosos com doença pulmonar crônica não transmissível. Métodos: revisão integrativa realizada em novembro de 2020 nas bases de dados CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Embase, Scopus, Medline/Pubmed (via National Library of Medicine) e Web of Science, utilizando-se os descritores “COVID-19”, “SARS-CoV2 infection”, “aged”, “chronic pulmonar obstructive disease”, “non-communicable diseases” e operadores booleanos AND e OR. Foram incluídos textos científicos originais, a exemplo de artigos disponibilizados na íntegra, sobre a COVID-19 em idosos com Doenças Respiratórias Crônicas Não Transmissíveis. Resultados: Idosos com comorbidades estão propensos a complicações durante a infecção por COVID-19, com altas taxas de mortalidade e alterações tomográficas atípicas. Conclusão: A forma grave da COVID-19 e a elevada mortalidade em idosos podem ser atribuídas à alta comorbidade, prevalência de demência e síndromes geriátricas.
