Estresse do enfermeiro em unidade de emergência

El estres tiene presencia notable en la actuacion del enfermero. Este articulo trata de un estudio exploratorio, efectuado entre enfermeros de unidades de emergencia en hospitales, con objeto de determinar su nivel de estres. La muestra abarco a 73 enfermeros de unidad de emergencia que trabajan en instituciones publicas y privadas del municipio de Sao Paulo. Los datos fueron recopilados mediante un cuestionario, cuyos items tratan de la actuacion especifica del enfermero en esa unidad. Los resultados indicaron que los enfermeros de la unidad de emergencia demuestran un nivel medio de estres, y que las areas de E - Condiciones de trabajo para el desempeno de las actividades de enfermero, y F - Actividades relacionadas con la administracion de personal, fueron consideradas las mas estresantes para los participantes. Se constata que, para el enfermero de emergencia, a pesar de su lista y efectiva actuacion ante la inestabilidad de la situacion del paciente, las condiciones externas a esa situacion son mas estresantes. Las instituciones deben analizar esos requisitos para posibilitar la disminucion del estres vivido por los enfermeros.

Agravos à saúde, hipertensão arterial e predisposição ao estresse em motoristas de caminhão

El estudio investigo agravios de salud que predisponen al estres mediante el uso del Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), que evalua posibles trastornos mentales comunes no psicoticos. La muestra abarco a 258 conductores profesionales de trasporte de cargas en una carretera nacional brasilena (37,5±10,0 anos, el 55% ingeria bebidas alcoholicas, El 37% con hipertension arterial y el 57% refirio uso anterior de medicamentos para mantener el estado de alerta). Los conductores indicaron sentir-se nervioso, tenso o preocupado (56%), dormir mal (47%), dolores de cabeza (37%), tener dificultad de tomar decision (38%) y dificultad de pensar con claridad (20%). El SRQ-20 mostro que el 33% era portador de posibles trastornos mentales comunes y fue encontrada asociacion (p<0,05) con referencia de cansancio, disminucion de la concentracion, considerarse nervioso o estresado, tener problemas personales o en el trabajo y transportar carga de horario. Se concluye que fue expresiva la presencia de probables trastornos mentales comunes que probablemente transcurren de las condiciones laborales estresantes.This study approached the health problems which were involved with stress using Self reporting Questionnaires (SRQ-20) in order to evaluate mental disorders. The sample was constituted of 258 trucker drivers in Brazilian roadway (37,5±10,0 years old, 55% drink alcohol, 37% with arterial hypertension e 57% used drugs to get alert). The drivers informed they were nervous, tense and worried (56%), disturbed sleep (47%), headaches (37%), difficulties in making decisions (38%) and difficulties in thinking clearly (20%). The results of SRQ-20 showed that 33% were probably with common mental disorders and an association (p<0.05) with fatigue, diminished concentration, being nervous and worried, personal problems at work, and trucker transportation. As conclusion, the presence of common mental disorders was considered probably as consequence of stresseful conditions at work.

Objetivo: avaliar o efeito do Relaxamento Muscular Progressivo, como intervencao de Enfermagem nos niveis de estresse em pessoas com Esclerose Multipla. Metodo: ensaio clinico randomizado conduzido em um ambulatorio de Neurologia de um Hospital Universitario. A amostra constituiu-se por 40 pacientes em acompanhamento ambulatorial (20 no grupo controle e 20 no experimental). Empregou-se a tecnica de Relaxamento Muscular Progressivo. As variaveis de controle foram coletadas pela tecnica de entrevista com registro em formulario e a Escala de Stress Percebido foi aplicada. Foram realizados cinco encontros quinzenais em um periodo de oito semanas. O grupo experimental foi orientado a realizar diariamente o Relaxamento Muscular Progressivo. Apos oito semanas de intervencao avaliou-se novamente os niveis de estresse. Para analise dos dados foi utilizado o pacote Estatistico para Ciencias Sociais-versao 19.0.

Clinical Trials Identifier: NCT 02673827.ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation as a nursing procedure on the levels of stress for sufferers of multiple sclerosis. Method: random clinical trials conducted at the Neurology outpatients unit at a University Hospital. The sample consisted of 40 patients who were being monitored as outpatients (20 in a control group and 20 in an experimental group). The Progressive Muscle Relaxation technique was used. The control variables were collected through interviews that were recorded on forms and on the Perceived Stress Scale that we used. Five meetings were held every fortnight covering a period of eight weeks. The experimental group was advised to carry out daily progressive muscle relaxation activities. After eight weeks of these activities, they were evaluated again to measure their levels of stress. In order to analyze the data used, the software package Statistics for Social Sciences version 19.0 was used. Results: the application of the t test showed a significant reduction in the Perceived Stress Scale scores in the experimental group (p<0.001), which in turn proved that there was a reduction in the levels of stress after the application of the relaxation practic-es. Conclusion: the progressive muscle relaxation activities contributed to the reduction in stress levels for multiple sclerosis suffers and thus can be used in nursing for patients. Clinical Trials Identifier: NCT 02673827.

Personalidade resistente nas equipes médica e de enfermagem em centro cirúrgico

Objective: To identify the presence of hardiness in health care professionals who work in operating rooms. Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, conducted with 58 professionals, from January to February 2013, using a closed biosocial questionnaire and the Hardiness Scale. Results: The majority (88%) of participants achieved high average on the dimensions commitment and control and, of these, seven (12%) presented a hardy personality, with high scores on the three dimensions of hardiness. Most of the subjects are women (71.4%), technical nurses (57.1%), who are married (83.3%), with 11 to 15 years working in the nursing profession (42.9%), and as operating room nurses (57.1%), besides having multiple employments (57.1%). Conclusion: We observed a small percentage of professionals that have characteristics of the hardy personality, but it was found that most of them have low scores on the control dimension of hardiness; therefore, there is a need for empowering them in their respective fields.
