Introduction: Occupational dermatoses account for a large fraction of work-related illnesses, and have significant economic and social repercussions. Though these conditions are subject to mandatory reporting, they are often underdiagnosed, and have only been scarcely studied in Brazil. Objectives: To describe the profile of workers affected by occupational dermatosis based on reports sent to the Information System on Notifiable Diseases [Sistema de Informação de Agravos e de Notificação (SINAN)], and provide evidence to support disease prevention initiatives. Methods: The following data were collected from incident reports sent in the state of Espírito Santo, from 2007 to 2016: city, year, age of worker, education level, gender, causal agent, race, occupation, lesion site, and need for medical leave. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel, using frequency and percentage statistics. Results: A total of 340 incidents were reported in the state of Espírito Santo, which most cases (79%) occurring in the city of Atílio Vivácqua. The highest number of cases involved female workers aged 20 to 29 years, with complete primary and incomplete secondary education, in unskilled occupations such as domestic work, and were associated with exposure to chemical agents such as chlorine, detergents, and latex. The lesion site was reported in fewer than 2% of cases. At least 25% of affected workers required medical leave. Conclusions: The individuals most frequently affected by occupational dermatosis were women, aged 20 to 29 years, with complete primary education, in unskilled occupations. There is a need for greater investment in the education of unskilled workers, especially those who perform cleaning services.

Identificar fatores associados para o desenvolvimento de lesões e ou alterações de pele em idosos em cuidados perioperatório. Estudo descritivo com idosos hospitalizados (n=30), no Distrito Federal. Foram avaliados dados sociodemográficos, saúde e cirurgia, exame físico da pele e capacidade funcional. Os dados foram submetidos à estatística descritiva e analítica. As médias de idade foram de 69,63 anos (±7,53), e de internação 4 dias (±4,91). A maioria (53,33%) estava internada por cirurgia oncológica, 86,67% eram totalmente independentes para o autocuidado. As principais alterações na pele foram hematoma / equimose 13,30% e eritema 10,00%. Idosos com mais de 71,92 (±8,09), desenvolveram mais lesões em relação a idosos mais jovens, e mesmo os independentes desenvolveram alguma alteração na pele. O cuidado com a integridade da pele em idosos em situação cirúrgica deve ser realizado de forma individualizada, com especial atenção aos fatores que possam agravar o processo de recuperação.Descritores: Idoso, Assistência Perioperatória, Ferida Cirúrgica, Assistência Hospitalar, Cuidado de Enfermagem ao Idoso Hospitalizado. Skin injuries in elderly people in perioperative careAbstract: Identify associated associates for the development of injuries or skin changes in the elderly in perioperative care. Descriptive study with hospitalized elderly (n = 30), in the Federal District. Sociodemographic data, health and surgery, physical examination of the skin and functional capacity were obtained. The data were prepared using descriptive and analytical statistics. The mean age was 69.63 years (± 7.53), and the hospital stay was 4 days (± 4.91). Most (53.33%) were hospitalized for cancer surgery, 86.67% were completely independent for self-care. The main changes in the skin were hematoma / ecchymosis 13.30% and erythema 10.00%. Elderly people over 71.92 (± 8.09), developed more situations in relation to the younger elderly, even the independent ones developed some altered skin change. Care with the integrity of the skin in elderly people in a surgical situation should be carried out individually, with special attention to factors that aggravate the recovery process.Descriptors: Aged, Perioperative Care, Surgical Wound.
