“…Recent studies stress that these professionals have endured an increasingly strenuous workload, compromising their quality of life (5)(6)(7)(8)(9) . These studies show the repercussions of organizational factors on the mental and physical health of physicians and nurses who work in pediatric and neonatal ICUs such as: burnout, psychological disorders generating professional stress, changing cortisol levels and salivary amylase due to excessive noise, relationship difficulties within the team, patients and family members.…”

Portuguese / English: www.scielo.br/reeusp RESUMO Comparar a Qualidade de Vida (QV) de mé-dicos e enfermeiros que trabalham em UTI Pediátrica (PED) e Neonatal (NEO) e, também, avaliar se há diferença entre a QV na mesma categoria profissional, mas diferindo de acordo com a unidade de trabalho. Estudo descritivo com 37 médicos e 20 enfermeiros. O WHOQOL-100 foi utilizado. Médicos da PED diferiram estatisticamente no domínio VI (p=0,003), quando comparados com médicos da NEO. Médicos e enfermeiros da PED apresentaram diferença estatística significante no domínio V (p < 0,01), e médicos e enfermeiros da NEO apresentaram diferença estatística significante no domínio VI (p=0,05). A avaliação da QV de mé-dicos e enfermeiros intensivistas pediátricos e neonatais mostrou-se abaixo dos escores encontrados na literatura científica, quando comparados com estudos que avaliaram pacientes com dores crônicas e com prejuí-zos na saúde mental, evidenciando a ocorrência de estresse ocupacional. DESCRITORES ABSTRACTCompare the Quality of Life (QL) of doctors and nurses who work in Pediatric (PED) and Neonatal (NEO) Intensive Care Units, and to evaluate whether there are differences between the QL in the same job category, but differing according to the work unit. This descriptive study was performed with 37 physicians and 20 nurses. The WHOQOL100 was used. Physicians from the PED differ statistically in the field VI (p=0.003) compared with physicians from the NEO. Physicians and nurses from the PED showed a statistically significant difference in field V (p<0.01), while physicians and nurses from the NEO showed a statistically significant difference in field VI (p=0.05). The QL assessment of physicians and nurses working in pediatric and neonatal intensive care units was below the scores found in scientific literature, compared to studies that evaluated patients with chronic pain and mental health disorders, indicating the occurrence of occupational stress.

Médicos y enfermeros de PED presentaron una diferencia estadística significativa en el dominio V (p<0,01) y médicos y enfermeros de NEO presentaron diferencias estadísticas significativas en el dominio VI (p=0,05). La evaluación de la QV de médicos y enfermeros intensivistas pediátricos y neonatales se mostró por debajo de los puntajes observados en la literatura científica, al ser comparados con estudios que evaluaron pacientes con dolores crónicos y con problemas de salud mental, evidenciando la existencia de estrés ocupacional.

“…They face high levels of stress at work, which increases in pediatric and neonatal intensive care units (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7) . Professionals who work in these units might experience burnout syndrome (2)(3)(4)(5) , excessive workload, diminished satisfaction at work, in addition to psychological disorders (3) .…”

This study compared the balance between effort (E) and reward (R) among physicians and nurses working in pediatric (PED) and neonatal (NEO) Intensive Care Units. This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with 37 physicians and 20 nurses. The Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire was used. Statistically significant differences were not found among physicians (p>0.05) or nurses from PED and NEO in relation to E and R (p>0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between physicians and nurses in PED in the several studied variables. Comparison between the professionals working in NEO revealed that physicians presented more over-commitment than nurses (p=0.01).The organizational setting of NEO proved to be more demanding for physicians, exacting a greater commitment to their work, while demands presented in both units seemed to be the same for nurses. Estudio preliminar sobre el estrés ocupacional de médicos y enfermeros en UTI pediátrica y neonatal: el equilibrio entre esfuerzo y recompensaEl objetivo del estudio fue comparar el equilibrio entre esfuerzo (E) y recompensa (R) entre médicos de unidades de terapia intensiva pediátrica (PED) y neonatal (NEO) y entre enfermeros de las mismas unidades. Este es estudio transversal descriptivo con 37 médicos y 20 enfermeros. El cuestionario Effort-Reward Imbalance fue utilizado. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticas entre médicos de la PED y de la NEO en relación al E y R (p>0,05). De la misma forma, enfermeros de la PED y de la NEO no tuvieron diferencias estadísticas en relación al E y R (p>0,05). Comparando médicos con enfermeros de la PED, no fueron encontradas diferencias entre las variables estudiadas. En relación a la comparación hecha entre profesionales de la NEO, se encontró un mayor súper compromiso de médicos de que de enfermeros (p=0,01). El ambiente organizacional de la NEO se mostró más exigente para los médicos, determinando mayor compromiso con el trabajo, en cuanto que, para los enfermeros de ambas unidades, la demanda pareció ser la misma.

“…11 The majority of literature regarding sleep disturbance in the hospital has focused on sleep disruption in the intensive care unit, where interventions associated with sleep loss are required to deliver the appropriate standard level of care. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] However, few evidencebased strategies to promote sleep quality in hospitalized patients have been evaluated. 16,[18][19][20][21][22][23] In this study, we aimed to examine sleep among neurological and neurosurgical inpatients, identify specific sleep-disruptive factors, and assess patient satisfaction regarding their sleep.…”

Noise, stress, and annoyance in a pediatric intensive care unit

Abstract: In this small study, noise was shown to correlate with several measures of stress including tachycardia and annoyance ratings. Further studies of interventions to reduce noise are essential.
