- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)O ambiente de trabalho em unidades de terapia intensiva privadas e públicas(Escola Paulista de Enfermagem, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2013-12-01) Balsanelli, Alexandre Pazetto [UNIFESP]; Cunha, Isabel Cristina Kowal Olm [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)OBJECTIVE: To analyze the work environment in intensive care units from public and private hospitals. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study conducted with 66 nurses in four intensive care units. Two questionnaires were used for data collection, one for the socioeconomic profile and the other composed by the subscales of the validated Brazilian version of the Nursing Work Index-Revised (B-NWI-R). RESULTS: The nurses reported a favorable work environment for the exercise of professional nursing practices in the intensive care units (overall mean = 1.95 and SD = 0.40). By comparing private and public hospitals it was observed that the overall score of the B-NWI-R reached values of 1.91 (SD = 0.39) and 1.99 (SD = 0.42), respectively, with a p-value of 0.459. CONCLUSION: The four intensive care units analyzed in this study presented favorable work environments for nursing practices. The fact of belonging to private or public hospitals was not significant in the analysis.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Ambiente do centro de terapia intensiva e o trabalho da equipe de enfermagem(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Escola de Enfermagem, 2011-12-01) Chavaglia, Suzel Regina Ribeiro; Borges, Cristiana Machado; Amaral, Eliana Maria Scarelli Do; Iwamoto, Helena Hemiko; Ohl, Rosali Isabel Barduchi [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro Centro de Graduação em Enfermagem Departamento de Enfermagem; Unimed Departamento de Medicina Preventiva; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)This is a descriptive exploratory study with a quantitative approach. It aims to characterize the environment of the Intensive Care Center (ICC) in regard to its physical area, material resources and equipments, and to identify factors concerned to the work of nurses. It investigates environmental factors that contribute to an aesthetically harmonious, functional and humanized space and that favor the performance of nursing work. The units that make up the ICC meet the recommendations of the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) in the evaluated items. he following favorable work conditions were highlighted: thermal conditions, color of the ceiling, walls and floors, luminosity. The following unfavorable work conditions were highlighted: outdoor spaces, privacy and individuality of clients and noise. The conclusion is that the facilities of the units meet the minimum recommendations of ANVISA. Both favorable and unfavorable environmental work conditions were identified. The creation of better environmental conditions allows a better staff performance, influencing positively quality, safety, and job satisfaction.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Densidade energética de refeições oferecidas em empresas inscritas no programa de alimentação do Trabalhador no município de São Paulo(Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, 2011-10-01) Canella, Daniela Silva; Bandoni, Daniel Henrique [UNIFESP]; Jaime, Patrícia Constante [UNIFESP]; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)OBJECTIVE: This study estimated the energy density of meals served at a sample of companies registered in the Worker's Food Program and its associated factors, and assessed the relationship between energy density and nutrient supply. METHODS: This cross-sectional study encompassed 21 companies in the city of São Paulo . The energy density of the meals was calculated in two ways: inclusion of solid foods and drinks (energy density 1); inclusion of solid foods and exclusion of beverages (energy density 2). The mean energy (kcal) and food and beverage weights (g) were obtained by assessing the lunchtime menu during three consecutive days. The statistical analyses used non-parametric tests. RESULTS: The median energy density 1 was 1.10 kcal/g and for energy density 2 was 1.43 kcal/g. Some of the companies' characteristics were: 76.2% manufactured goods, the salary of the majority of the workers of 57.9% of the companies did not exceed 1562 USD per month; 85.7% of the food services were outsourced, 71.4% were supervised by a dietician and 61.9% planned the menu. The only significant difference observed was between energy density 2 and economic sector (p=0.039). Regarding macronutrient content of the meals, a positive correlation was seen between energy density 1 and the supply of protein, total fat and fibers, and between energy density 2 and the supply of total fat and saturated fat. CONCLUSION: The companies registered in the work's food program need to improve the quality of their meals. Total fat needs to be reduced. This nutrient correlates highly with high energy density.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Ruído em hospital universitário: impacto na qualidade de vida(Academia Brasileira de Audiologia, 2013-06-01) Silva, Monique Cantelli Da [UNIFESP]; Luz, Vivian Baptista Da [UNIFESP]; Gil, Daniela [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)PURPOSE: To determine noise levels in different hospital settings and investigate the impact of noise exposure on the quality of life of the healthcare workers in these environments. METHODS: Noise was measured using a sound level meter in different sectors of the São Paulo university hospital (neonatal intensive care unit, nutrition, classrooms, print shop, laundry, carpentry shop and metalwork shop) in different periods of the day (morning, afternoon and night) over a one-week period. Five workers from each sector were asked to fill out questionnaires on hearing habits and quality of life (WHOQoL-Bref), adapted to Brazilian Portuguese. Each question on the WHOQoL-Bref was scored from 0 to 5 points, with higher overall scores denoting better quality of life. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences among environments were found regarding minimum and maximum sound levels, regardless of the time of the day. All sound levels were considered harmful. No statistically significant differences among sectors were found in the overall quality of life score or subscales of the WHOQoL-Bref (Quality of Life, Physical Aspects, Psychological Aspects, Social Relations and Environment). CONCLUSION: The minimum and maximum noise levels in all sectors, except the neonatal intensive care unit, exceeded those defined for hospital environments. The variation in noise levels characterizes environments with intermittent noise that places the auditory health of the employees at risk. The noise levels encountered demonstrate the need for a hearing conservation program involving both group and individual measures.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)The work environment and leadership in nursing: an integrative review(Universidade de São Paulo, Escola de Enfermagem, 2014-10-01) Balsanelli, Alexandre Pazetto [UNIFESP]; Cunha, Isabel Cristina Kowal Olm [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Objective: To investigate the relationship between the work environment and leadership in nursing. Method: An integrative review of literature which was based on data from LILACS, PubMed, CINAHL and the SciELO portal for journals covering the period from January to April 2013. The inclusion criteria were: the indexing of research covering leadership exercised by nurses over a team and whether the research was available in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Results: The sample consisted of 12 articles that met the criteria. Conclusion: The results showed that leadership had an impact on the work environment. However, no studies were found that showed the influence of the working environment on leadership in nursing.
