Resumo: |
The work is essential to human life, but the context in which it is developed, as well as the interaction of the worker with their work activities can trigger stress, maladjustment and consequent illness. Among the various types of professional activities performed by man, the nursing work in hospitals was chosen as the focus of this work. Amid health workers, studies indicate nursing as one of the occupations with high risk for illness, especially for those who develop their activities in the hospital environment, since this is an institution considered unhealthy due to situations, activities and factors that presents risk. Objective: To estimate the occurrence of health problems reported by the nursing staff (assistants, technicians, nurses) and associated factors in a public hospital in Feira de Santana, Bahia. Methodology: This is an epidemiological study population, cross-sectional, developed in a public hospital. The study in question is derived from the project: "Working conditions and common mental disorders in nursing staff in a public general hospital in Feira de Santana - Bahia", conducted by the State University of Feira de Santana in 2010, which was used the database. The data were processed and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS ®) version 9.0 for Windows. Results: The most frequent health complaints were related to musculoskeletal symptoms and mental health. Among the highlights were musculoskeletal complaints: leg pain 66.4% (192) and back pain 61.8% (178). Among the predominant mental health-related mental fatigue 47% (131) 33.7% and nervousness (93). The results showed that nurses had a higher frequency of postural disorders, complaints related to mental health (17.5%) and sleep (13.3%), while technicians - nursing assistants musculoskeletal complaints (19.2%) and injuries as back pain (53.9%) and urinary tract infection (39.9%). Conclusion: The present findings indicate a high rate of illness among nursing workers who may be related to the extensive labor hours and inadequate working conditions, highlighting the need to develop prevention and control of disease as a strategy to improve the quality and life these professionals. |
