Objective: to identify workloads in nursing work and its association with nursing worker burnout. Method: a cross-sectional study, including 211 nursing workers from a university hospital, between July and August 2016. For the analysis, the descriptive statistics, Chi-Square Test, Fisher’s Exact Test and Mann Whitney U-Test were used. Results: the most evidenced loads were biological. A significant association was found between workloads and workers’ occupation, as well as a significant association between workloads and worker burnout. Burnout caused upper limb pain, neck and lumbar pain, lower limb pain, muscle spasm, lower limb edema, mental fatigue, headache, nervousness, and forgetfulness. Conclusion: workloads identification is a subsidy for the promotion of interventions that minimize the burnout generated to the health of the nursing worker.
Resumo Introdução A dependência de drogas é considerada um transtorno de etiologia heterogênea, existem diretrizes para o seu tratamento, mas ainda ocorre um alto índice de evasão. O estudo teve como objetivo identificar a prevalência e fatores associados à evasão do tratamento. Métodos Estudo transversal, com análise de 593 prontuários e de 30 entrevistas aplicadas em pacientes que não tiveram aderência em um ambulatório de dependência química em um município do sul do Rio Grande do Sul. Resultados O índice de abandono foi de 82%. O tempo de tratamento (Coef = –0,14; EP = 0,08; OR = 0,9), o atendimento com o assistente social (Coef = –0,68; EP = 0,33; OR = 0,5) e com psicólogo (Coef = –0,66; EP = 0,44; OR = 0,5) foram os principais fatores de proteção ligados à diminuição da probabilidade do abandono. O motivo de abandono mais relatado foi a colisão dos horários de atendimento com o de trabalho (33%, n = 10). Conclusão Torna-se necessário dar atenção ao fenômeno de evasão com o intuito de propiciar alternativas para o aumento da adesão e retorno dos pacientes.
RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a ocorrência de acidentes de trabalho entre trabalhadores do Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência e a associação com os riscos ocupacionais identificados. Método Estudo quantitativo, exploratório, descritivo e transversal, realizado com trabalhadores, entre janeiro de 2016 e novembro de 2017, por meio de um instrumento online, no Rio Grande do Sul. Resultados Participaram 265 trabalhadores. Verificou-se associação significativa entre ocorrência de acidente de trabalho e categoria profissional (p=0,041); ocorrência de acidente de trabalho e a mesorregião (p=0,015). Nas associações significativas entre a ocorrência de acidentes de trabalho e os riscos ocupacionais, destacaram-se os acidentes com perfurocortantes, agressão física, mordida de animal, agressão verbal, acidente de trânsito no deslocamento e quedas. Assim como, a associação significativa entre a ocorrência de acidente de trabalho e os afastamentos do trabalho (p=0,000). Conclusão As ocorrências de acidentes de trabalho durante as atividades no serviço pré-hospitalar estão relacionadas à categoria profissional dos trabalhadores, mesorregião de atuação, afastamentos do trabalho e a exposição dos trabalhadores a distintos riscos ocupacionais.
Objective: to identify the risk perception of workers with previous occupational accidents in Mobile Emergency Care Services. Method: this quantitative and analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted with 265 professionals working in pre-hospital settings from 57 cities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. An online questionnaire addressed sociodemographic characteristics, previous occupational accidents and the workers’ occupational risk perceptions rated on a five-point Likert scale. The analysis included descriptive statistics, mean, standard deviation, median, and associations were verified using the Mann-Whitney test; the level of significance was established at p<0.05. Results: the occupational risks the workers more frequently reported were: exposure to blood (4.43); exposure to contaminated secretion/excretion (4.36); contact and handling of hygienization products (4.28); exposure to bacteria (4.25); lifting and transporting heavy loads (4.25); and exposure to viruses (4.23). A significant association was found between the risk perception of workers with previous occupational accidents and chemical (p=0.001), physical (p=0.006), ergonomic or psychological (p=0.000) risks, and accidents (p=0.000). Conclusion: association between the risk perception of workers who had previously experienced occupational accidents was significant, suggesting that workers may not identify or trivialize risks before they experience an accident. Therefore, actions are needed to encourage changes in behavior so that workers identify risks and prevent occupational accidents, such as adopting personal and collective protective equipment and improving the work conditions in pre-hospital settings.
