Capacidade para o trabalho de enfermeiros de um hospital universitário

This is a cross-sectional study that evaluated the work ability index (WAI) and the sociodemographic and work-related aspects of 93 nurses in a university hospital. The data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. The sample was predominantly female (98.9%), with 41.7 (SD = 9.0) years old 63.4% have a partner, sleep 6.9 (SD = 1.3) hours daily, 8.6% smoked and 37.6% performed regular physical activity The WAI score was 40.1 (SD = 3.7), indicating a good work capacity. There were correlations between WAI and age (r = -0.22, p = 0.0394), duration of work (r = -0.23, p = - 0.0295), and sleep (r = 0.26, p = 0.0162). Nurses who live alone and non-smokers had higher average than those with a partner and who smoked (41.3 and 39.6; 40.4 and 37.8; p = 0.0476). Thus, healthy life habits such as sleeping 7 hours or more and not smoking were positively associated with work capacity.Estudo transversal que avaliou o Indice de Capacidade para o Trabalho (ICT) e os aspectos sociodemograficos e laborais de 93 enfermeiros de um hospital universitario. Os dados foram coletados por questionario e analisados por estatistica descritiva e analitica. A amostra foi predominantemente feminina (98,9%), com 41,7 (dp = 9,0) anos de idade, 63,4% tem companheiro, dormem 6,9 (dp = 1,3) horas por dia, 8,6% fumavam e 37,6% realizavam atividade fisica regular. O escore medio do ICT foi de 40,1 (dp = 3,7), indicando boa capacidade para o trabalho. Houve correlacoes entre o ICT e idade (r = -0,22; p = 0,0394); tempo de trabalho (r = -0,23; p = 0,0295) e horas de sono (r = 0,26; p = 0,0162). Enfermeiros que vivem sozinhos e os nao fumantes apresentaram medias superiores no ICT aqueles com companheiro e que fumam (41,3 e 39,6; 40,4 e 37,8; p = 0,0476). Habitos saudaveis de vida como dormir sete horas ou mais e nao fumar associam-se positivamente com a capacidade para o trabalho.

Avaliação dos registros de enfermagem quanto ao exame físico

The nursing records are essential to generate benefits to individualized care planning, once data collection is the first step of the Nursing Process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the records made by nurses during each physical patient examination in critical care units (CCU) and hospitalization units (HU). This is a transverse and retrospective study, in which forms and records from both public and private hospitals were analyzed. From the 69 records considered, we observed a greater quality and frequency in records from CCUs, while records from HUs were mostly about intercurrences that happened during the shift. The research shows a deficit in physical examination records of patients, which complicates the individual assistance focused on the real needs of the patient, since many changes in patients condition might not be recorded.Os registros de enfermagem geram subsidios essenciais ao planejamento do cuidado individualizado, sendo a coleta de dados a primeira etapa do Processo de Enfermagem. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os registros realizados pelos enfermeiros quanto ao exame fisico do cliente na unidade de tratamento intensivo (UTI) e na unidade de internacao clinica (UIC). O estudo e transversal-retrospectivo, no qual foram avaliados 69 prontuarios de clientes internados em UTI e transferidos para UIC de um hospital publico e outro privado. Constatou-se que os registros realizados pelos enfermeiros, mais frequentes e com melhor qualidade acerca do exame fisico, foram os da UTI, enquanto na UIC eram mais frequentes os registros de intercorrencias clinicas ocorridas durante o plantao. Evidenciou-se um deficit nos registros acerca do exame fisico, o que pode dificultar a assistencia individualizada com enfoque nas reais necessidades do cliente, uma vez que muitas alteracoes podem ser deixadas de serem registradas.

O CUIDADO DOMICILIAR AO IDOSO NO CONTEXTO DO PROGRAMA DE SAÚDE DA FAMÍLIA

The Family Health Program (PSF in Portuguese) rescues the family care, which may have the elderly care as a main focus. The aim of the work presented here is the identification of the demanded care required by elderly people when staying at home and being assisted by the PSF program. The studies were carried out following a quantitative approach, and were applied over a sample comprising 176 elderly persons, having a minimum age of 60 years each. This sample was taken from a PSF station (USF – Unidade de Saude da Familia in Portuguese) placed in a city situated in the north of the Rio Grande do Sul state. The results indicate the pre-eminence of the female sex in the sample. The overall average age was 69.6 ± 7.49 years. Concerning health comorbidity, it was identified in 85.2 % persons. The causes observed were originated from diseases of circulatory system, endocrine-metabolic nutritional and those ones from illnesses osteomuscular system and subjacent conjunctive tissues. Related to the domicile care, 24.4 % of the studied elderly persons were requiring some specific care. In summar y, theses results shown that this group of persons from our society demonstrates a big health and social vulnerability. Therefore, it is extremely necessary that the USF prioritize the elderly care, promoting further a qualified care inside their domiciles. Nevertheless, this should be carried out respecting the valid care system defined by the PSF system.
