“…The evidence for this is the observed higher frequency of documentation errors [10] and the increased risk of patient exposure to adverse events [11]. For the nurses the longer 12 hour shifts have been associated with the development of various forms of stress [12], fatigue [10, 13], and altered body physiology [14]. Beyond the fatigue, research now demonstrates that the nursing staffs on these longer shifts are more prone to developing occupational injuries including MSDs [15].…”

IntroductionLow and middle income countries have severe nursing staff shortages which is associated with risk of poor quality of patient care and increased patient exposure to adverse events. This is accompanied with increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders to the nursing staff. This paper sets out to identify and compare factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders among nursing staff in 5 different hospitals in Uganda.MethodsThis was a cross sectional study on nurses from 5 different hospitals in Uganda. The study used a 12 month recall of reported Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) among nurses. Ethical approval was obtained. Logistic regression analysis and ANOVA were used. The level of significance was set at 0.05 for all statistical tests.ResultsThere were 755 respondents of whom 433 (58.4%) were nurses. The prevalence of MSD at anybody site was 80.8%. There were significant differences in reported MSD among nursing staff across different hospital settings which were worse in the public hospitals as compared to the private and private not for profit hospitals (p <0.001). Age (adjusted OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.06), self reported poor general health status (adj OR 4.5, 95% CI 2.8-7.24) and stress as suggested by waking up tired in the morning (adj OR 3.4, 95% CI 2.17-5.32) were significant associated factors for MSD in this population.ConclusiomReported MSD among nursing staff across 5 different hospitals is worse in public as compared to private hospitals. Age, self reported poor general health status and stress were important factors for MSD in this population.

“…There are more recent studies in which Actiheart has been used in hospital settings, free-living environments and community settings. [121][122][123] However, few provide comments on its acceptability or suggest the kind of poor compliance observed in this study. The best available evidence on its acceptability comes from a recent study comparing instruments for the objective assessment of physical activity frequency and intensity.…”

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.
