Objective: to investigate the relation between workplace accidents and the levels of carboxyhemoglobin found in motorcycle taxi drivers. Method: correlational, quantitative study involving 111 workers and data obtained in July 2012 through a questionnaire to characterize the participants and blood collection to measure carboxyhemoglobin levels. Result: 28.8% had suffered workplace accidents; 27.6% had fractured the lower limbs and significant symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure were verified in smokers. The carboxyhemoglobin levels were higher among smokers and victims of workplace accidents. Conclusion: motorcycle taxi drivers had increased levels of carboxyhemoglobin, possibly due to the exposure to carbon monoxide; these levels are also increased among smokers and victims of workplace accidents. The study provides advances in the knowledge about occupational health and environmental science, and also shows that carboxyhemoglobin can be an indicator of exposure to environmental pollutants for those working outdoors, which can be related to workplace accidents.

“…As consequências econômicas e sociais do trauma são de alta magnitude, devido ao elevado custo da recuperação e gastos da previdência social em situações em que há incapacidade temporária ou permanente da vítima 4 . Além disso, a qualidade de vida do paciente e dos familiares é prejudicada não somente pelos agravos físicos, mas também pelas alterações nas relações sociais, no estilo de vida, na modificação da imagem corporal e distúrbios psicológicos 5 Deve-se evidenciar que a metodologia utilizada no estudo pode subestimar os resultados obtidos, visto que as informações foram coletadas em prontuários completos, preenchidos corretamente, com letra legível que apresentavam o critério de inclusão. Sendo assim, o número de pacientes traumatizados atendidos e posteriormente internados no hospital público de Paracatu-MG pode ser maior que o número apresentado pela pesquisa, se os dados dos acometidos não foram corretamente inseridos no registro médico.…”

The aim of this study is to understand the suffering of a patient with an illness, by using a secondary research method, that is, a qualitative meta-study. The primary data source of the meta-study includes "biographical reports". This project is based on a case study, in which the first-hand experiences of a patient with an illness were collected. The findings of the reports were compiled using the Archivos de la Memoria collection of the Index Foundation (Granada, Spain) and journals specialized in editing these materials. A selection of 20 biographical reports was targeted. The results of the meta-study show that suffering is a multidimensional process within a framework of ambiguous feelings. The suffering involves family and social network participation. Patients develop a range of strategies to overcome the illness. One of the effects is the fear of illness relapse or worsening. Comprendiendo el padecimiento humano ante la enfermedad: manifestaciones, contexto y estrategias El propósito de este trabajo es comprender la experiencia del padecimiento ante la enfermedad mediante la utilización de un método de investigación secundaria, un meta estudio cualitativo.La fuente de datos primarios ha sido el relato biográfico, un diseño basado en el estudio de caso que recoge la experiencia en primera persona, en este caso, ante la enfermedad; la localización de relatos se ha hecho a través del fondo Archivos de la Memoria de la Fundación Index y de revistas especializadas en la edición de estos materiales. Se seleccionaron 20 relatos biográficos.Los resultados del meta estudio muestran que el padecimiento es un proceso multidimensional, caracterizado por la ambigüedad de sentimientos. Es un fenómeno que comparte la familia y la red social. Las personas enfermas desarrollan diferentes estrategias de afrontamiento y es manifiesto el miedo a la recaída o el empeoramiento.Descriptores: Investigación Cualitativa; Acontecimientos que Cambian la Vida; Biografía como Asunto.
