“…Using medium-level lift decreased the risk of shoulder pain three times than nurses without lifts, and using low-level lift increased the risk of neck pain three times. There was no association with low back pain and lift use at any level, but findings showed a reduction in low back pain rate by the level of lift use [31].…”

“…Studies demonstrated that relations of PSFs and physical exhaustion have likely increased the risk of MSDs in nurses. High perceived workload, role conflicts, low job satisfaction, poor social support, time pressure, low justice and respect in the workplace were among those factors constantly effected these disorders in several studies [7,21,[30][31][32][33].…”

“…Some intervention researches have reported important reductions in biomechanical anxiety, musculoskeletal pain, and injury rates when nurses used biomechanical equipment. Taking away manual handling activities and supporting the use of lifting device have become a key factor of safe patient handling policies internationally [14,18,31,42,47]. For the level of lift use, important interactions were found for work-related shoulder pain and any neck pain.…”

Nurses exposure many risk factors in the hospital setting. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is a common health problem between work related disabilities and injuries in nurses. The aim of this review was to examine the prevalence of MSDs in nurses and also summarize risk factors, outcomes, solutions. An electronic search was conducted in Pub Med in January 2017. Publications in the last ten years were researched using the key words: "Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders" and "Nurses". The initial electronic search identified 111 papers. Some articles were excluded since they were not related to our study topic (7 articles were review, 15 of them were related to the roles of nurses in some musculoskeletal disorders, 14 articles were about nurses who working outside the hospital or new graduated/student, 28 articles addressed work related other health problems, 3 of them were related to hospital ergonomics and risk factors and 7 articles were interventions studies). Three papers were not reached to full text or abstract. The total number of remaining articles was 34 and all of them were included the study. It was considered that reported musculoskeletal disorders in nurses were limited to the past 12 months. It had been found that the prevalence of MSDs varied between 33.0% and 88.0%. The most commonly affected body regions were lower back, shoulder, neck, knees, wrists/hands. Lower back pain complaints were found to vary between 49.0% and 84.0%. The findings indicated that the work related musculoskeletal disorders associated with cumulative trauma and repetitive tasks included: lifting, transferring or repositioning, prolonged standing and also awkward postures (stooping, bending and reaching). These work-related health problems in nurses were significantly associated with age, gender, body mass index, ward, shift working and working in a hospital. Studies showed that musculoskeletal disorders were most seen among the operation room nurses and intensive care nurses. Also, MSDs were found to be the main causes of absenteeism, demanding a change of duty or job and visiting a physician. The MSDs was more prevalent occupational health problem among nurses. The prevalence of MSDs was associated with both demographic characteristics of nurses and hospitals' organizational factors. It was confirmed that making ergonomics interventions could improve the working environment in the hospital.

RESUMO: Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar a influência das cargas de trabalho na saúde do trabalhador de enfermagem. A busca foi realizada em novembro de 2016, em quatro bases de dados, estabelecendo-se critérios de inclusão e exclusão, sendo selecionados 50 estudos. Os resultados destacam os conceitos, tipos e condições de trabalho que predispõem as cargas de trabalho, evidenciando as consequências na saúde da equipe de enfermagem por meio dos adoecimentos, que acarretam afastamentos e absenteísmo, estresse, desgastes físicos e emocionais, riscos para acidentes de trabalho, entre outros. Conclui-se que a identificação dessas influências possibilita a implementação de ações organizacionais, de prevenção de acidentes e doenças relacionadas ao trabalho. DESCRITORES: Carga de trabalho; Saúde do trabalhador; Absenteísmo; Enfermagem. CARGAS DE TRABALHO E A SAÚDE DO TRABALHADOR DE ENFERMAGEM:REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA* WORKLOADS AND NURSING WORKERS' HEALTH: INTEGRATIVE REVIEWABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify the effects of workloads on the health status of nursing workers. The search was conducted in November 2016, at four databases, and inclusion and exclusion criteria were established. At the end, 50 studies were selected. The results highlight work concepts, types and conditions, demonstrating their effects on the health status of the nursing team, which is manifested through illnesses that result in temporary absence from work (sick leaves) and absenteeism, stress, physical and emotional fatigue, risks of occupational accidents, among others. It is concluded that the identification of these effects allows the implementation of organizational actions targeted to the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases.

“…A carência de materiais adequados para a realização desse procedimento associado ao número insuficiente de funcionários, falta de equipamento para elevação do paciente e posturas corporais incorretas são fatores que contribuem para os agravos a saúde dos trabalhadores de enfermagem. 13 Quanto ao uso de acessórios e equipamentos, 60,2% dos pacientes possuíam de dois a mais de cinco. É necessário considerar esses aspectos, pois eles dificultam a remoção dos pacientes, exigindo cuidado redobrado.…”
