Aim: To discover the vision of individuals working in the emergency room of a teaching hospital on the management of hospital waste. Method: this is a descriptive-exploratory study, in which a qualitative approach was used. It was conducted with 17 employees and students in the health field, working in an emergency room. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation, and analyzed based on the framework for content analysis. Results: The data showed that the participants are lacking in terms of knowledge on the subject, which is mainly influenced by factors such as a lack of approach on the topic and issues related to the work carried out in emergency rooms. In-service education is seen as a good strategy in the search for an effective commitment to the environmental cause. Conclusion: The approach to the topic through training and continuing education are pathways towards the sensitization of workers regarding waste management.
O estudo teve como objetivo conhecer a vivência dos profissionais de enfermagem de uma instituição de longa permanência para idosos, no cuidado de idosas com transtornos mentais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva realizada em uma instituição de longa permanência, na região sul do Brasil. A coleta de dados ocorreu de novembro de 2016 a janeiro de 2017 por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com 20 profissionais de enfermagem. Os dados foram analisados de acordo com a proposta operativa de Minayo. Os resultados mostraram a dificuldade dos profissionais ao lidar com idosas com transtornos mentais. O comportamento agressivo das idosas repercutiu no medo dos profissionais em relação às agressões. Condições institucionais - falta de pessoal e sobrecarga de trabalho - foram relatadas como fatores deletérios ao cuidado às idosas com transtornos mentais. Conclui-se que há desconhecimento dos profissionais sobre os transtornos mentais quanto a suas abrangências e complicações. Salienta-se a importância de outros profissionais para suprir as necessidades das idosas.
