Occupational stress of nurses from the Mobile Emergency Care Service

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate stress, and to associate it with sociodemographic and clinical aspects of nurses from the Mobile Emergency Care Service. Method: This is an observational, cross-sectional and quantitative study conducted with 123 nurses, who answered a questionnaire to assess sociodemographic and clinical variables, and the Job Stress Scale, which evaluates stress in the workplace. Results: The results indicated that most of them were women, 20 to 40 years old, married, without another employment bond and with specialization course. They had low control and low demand at work and performed a passive work. Women reported passive work and high stress levels, while men were equally divided in active and passive work with low stress levels. Conclusion: Passive work is harmful to health and it is related to lack of autonomy, decision-making, and social support. It may lead to reduced ability to solve problems faced in daily work routine.

Identifying the risk features for occupational stress in medical workers: a cross-sectional study

“…Previous studies on occupational stress have mainly referred to three aspects: the prevalence of stress in different occupations (Araújo et al 2020 ; Choy and Wong 2017 ; Cordioli et al 2019 ; van der Wal et al 2018 ), the associations between stress and related diseases (Han et al 2019 ; Sara et al 2018 ; Yang et al 2018 ) and stress interventions (Babanataj et al 2019 ; Basu et al 2017 ; Bresesti et al 2020 ; Clough et al 2017 ; Nowrouzi et al 2015 ). These findings are insufficient to serve as the foundation for the development of targeted intervention strategies because we still lack effective methods of distinguishing subgroups with different levels of the risk of occupational stress, and management depends on understanding these subgroups.…”

Estrés laboral: una revisión de las principales causas consecuencias y estrategias de prevención

“…Sin embargo, para realizar una intervención oportuna, es necesario que se aborde desde una perspectiva colectiva, dado que los trabajadores asumen una identidad acorde a la cultura de su organización que genera una interpretación similar de las fuentes de estrés dentro del contexto laboral (10,27,53). Para ello es preciso analizar esta enfermedad ocupacional por medio de evaluaciones objetivas y subjetivas que determinen los efectos negativos del estrés en la salud de los trabajadores (54).…”

Estresse ocupacional de enfermeiros: uma visão crítica em tempos de pandemia/ Occupational stress in nurses: a critical view in times of pandemics

“…À medida que o mercado de trabalho se torna mais competitivo, gera estresse para os profissionais de enfermagem que, muitas vezes, buscam mais de um trabalho para melhorar os seus rendimentos. Entretanto, conforme estudaram Silva e Marcolan (2020) e Oliveira, Mazzaia e Marcolan (2015), os profissionais têm dificuldade para identificar os estressores em seu processo de trabalho e perceber o seu próprio adoecimento.…”

“…Como argumentou VIDOTTI et al (2020), os profissionais da equipe de enfermagem devem apoiar-se mutuamente pois vivenciam problemas semelhantes na instituição hospitalar. Destaca-se que formas respeitosas de se tratar toda equipe de enfermagem (chefias e coordenação de enfermagem, supervisores de enfermagem e técnicos de enfermagem) é outro fator que minimiza os principais preditores da síndrome de Burnout.…”
