Estudo exploratório acerca da prevalência do alto risco para eventos coronários na população brasileira: evidências da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2013 / Exploratory study on the prevalence of high risk for coronary events in the Brazilian population: evidence from National Health Survey 2013

Resumo Introdução: As doenças do aparelho circulatório representam a principal causa de adoecimento e mortes na população mundial. Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência de alto risco para evento coronário (ARC) e os fatores associados na população adulta brasileira. Método: Estudo transversal, com base nos dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2013. Para os indivíduos classificados em ARC, segundo a primeira fase de estratificação da I Diretriz Brasileira de Prevenção Cardiovascular, avaliou-se a associação dessa condição com variáveis sociodemográficas, condição de saúde e hábitos e estilo de vida. A análise estatística foi realizada em três etapas: descritiva, bivariada e múltipla. Consideraram-se os pesos amostrais e o efeito de desenho do plano de amostragem complexo, utilizando-se da biblioteca survey do programa estatístico R, versão 3.2.2. Resultados: A prevalência de ARC na população brasileira foi de 11,06% (IC95% 10,83-11,29). Observou-se maior proporção de ARC com o avançar da idade, em indivíduos residentes no centro-sul, que autoavaliaram a saúde como ruim/muito ruim, ex-fumantes e hipertensos. Conclusões: A população brasileira apresentou alta prevalência de ARC e, assim, possui mais de 20% de risco de um evento coronário agudo nos próximos dez anos, caso medidas de prevenção e controle não sejam tomadas.

Abstract Background: Diseases of the circulatory system are the leading cause of illness and death in the world population. Objective: Estimate the prevalence of high risk for coronary events (HRC) and associated factors in the Brazilian adult population. Method: This is a cross-sectional study, based on data from the National Health Survey 2013. The association of this condition with sociodemographic, health condition, and habits and lifestyle was evaluated for individuals as in HRC, according to the first stratification phase of the I Brazilian Directive of Cardiovascular Prevention. Statistical analysis was performed in three stages: descriptive; bivariate; and multiple analysis. Sampling weights and design effect of the complex sampling plan were considered, using the survey library of the statistical program R, version 3.2.2. Results: The prevalence of HRC in the Brazilian population was 11.06% (95%CI 10.83-11.29). A higher prevalence of HRC was observed with advancing age, in individuals living in the Central-South, who self-rated their health as poor/very poor, former smokers, and individuals with systemic arterial hypertension. Conclusions: The Brazilian population presented a high prevalence of HRC and, thus, has a more than 20% risk of an acute coronary event in the next ten years, if prevention and control measures are not taken.

Adherence to antihypertensive treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic: findings from a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Nonadherence to antihypertensive treatment is one of the main causes of the lack of blood pressure (BP) control. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic imposes substantial social restriction impairing the medical care routine, which may influence adherence to the antihypertensive treatment. To assess the rate of nonadherence to antihypertensive drug treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study evaluating hypertensive adult patients from a tertiary outpatient clinic. From March to August 2020, patients were interviewed by telephone during the social distancing period of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated biosocial data, habits, attitudes, and treatment adherence using the 4-item Morisky Green Levine Scale during the social distancing. Uncontrolled BP was defined by BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg. Clinical and prescription variables for drug treatment were obtained from the electronic medical record. We performed a multivariate analysis to determine the predictors of nonadherence to BP treatment. RESULTS: We studied 281 patients (age 66 ± 14 years, 60.5% white, 62.3% women, mean education of 9.0 ± 4 years of study). We found that 41.3% of the individuals reported poor adherence to antihypertensive drug treatment and 48.4% had uncontrolled BP. Subsample data identified that adherence was worse during the pandemic than in the previous period. The variables that were independently associated with the nonadherence during the pandemic period were black skin color (odds ratio [OR], 2.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46-4.68), and intermittent lack of access to antihypertensive medication during the pandemic (OR, 2.56; 95% CI, 1.11-5.89). CONCLUSIONS: Beyond traditional variables associated with poor adherence, the lack of availability of antihypertensive medications during the study underscore the potential role of pandemic on hypertension burden.

Teleconsultation as an advanced practice nursing during the COVID-19 pandemic based on Roy and Chick-Meleis.

Teleconsultation can be classified as an advanced practice nursing that requires nurses' clinical reasoning based on a consistent theoretical framework to use in the nursing process. Our study conducted a theoretical-reflective analysis, based on Callista Roy's Adaptation Model of Nursing and Chick-Meleis' Transition Theory, about the contribution of teleconsultation as an advanced practice nursing in the care of older adults with chronic diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic. We reflect on this in two moments: "nursing theories and dealing with COVID-19" and "ways of adapting to new care models and advanced practice nursing," based on communication and information technologies. The worsening of the pandemic in Brazil changed life cycles, health/disease and organizational processes, demanding the development of an adaptive-transactional state by users and health care providers. Thus, information and communication technologies combined with advanced practice nursing can relieve social distancing and its repercussions on health care.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a prevalência da síndrome metabólica e os fatores associados em profissionais de enfermagem que atuam em oncologia. Método: estudo transversal com 231 profissionais de enfermagem, de um centro de alta complexidade em oncologia do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, entre junho de 2013 e junho de 2015. Realizou-se entrevista para coleta de dados sociodemográficos, profissionais, antecedentes pessoais, hábitos e estilos de vida e condições de saúde. Foram realizadas medida da circunferência da cintura, peso, altura, pressão arterial casual e Monitorização Ambulatorial da Pressão Arterial, além da glicemia plasmática de jejum, triglicerídeos e lipoproteína de alta densidade. Avaliou-se a síndrome metabólica de acordo com a I Diretriz Brasileira de Diagnóstico e Tratamento da Síndrome Metabólica. Regressão de Poisson com variância robusta foi realizada, sendo a presença da síndrome metabólica ou não o desfecho. Resultados: a prevalência da síndrome metabólica foi de 25,1% e esta condição se associou ao maior tempo de formação profissional (4,0%; IC95%:1,05-1,07), à maior pressão diastólica na Monitorização Ambulatorial da Pressão Arterial do período de sono (3,0%; IC95%:1,01-1,05), presença de sobrepeso (2,84%; IC95%:1,93-6,70) e obesidade (4,94%; IC95%:2,08-11,77). Conclusões: observou-se alta prevalência da síndrome metabólica nos profissionais avaliados, e associação com excesso de peso e alteração da pressão no período de sono. Os resultados apontam para necessidade de intervenções para controle de fatores de risco para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis na população estudada.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and associated factors in nursing professionals working in oncology. Method: cross-sectional study with 231 nursing professionals from a high complexity oncology center in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between June 2013 and June 2015. An interview was carried out to collect sociodemographic, professional, personal history, habits and lifestyles, and health conditions data. Waist circumference, weight, height, casual blood pressure, and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring were performed, in addition to fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein. Metabolic syndrome was evaluated according to the I Brazilian Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome. Poisson regression with robust variance was performed, the outcome being the presence or not of metabolic syndrome. Results: there was a 25.1% prevalence of metabolic syndrome and this condition was associated with longer professional training (4.0%; 95%CI: 1.05-1.07), with higher diastolic pressure in Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring during sleep (3.0%; 95%CI:1.01-1.05), overweight (2.84%; 95%CI:1.93-6.70), and obesity (4.94%; IC95%: 2.08-11.77). Conclusions: there was a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the evaluated professionals, and an association between excess weight and changes in pressure during sleep. The results point to the need for interventions to control risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases in the studied population.

RESUMEN La teleconsulta es una herramienta de la enfermería de práctica avanzada que requiere un razonamiento clínico de los profesionales de enfermería basado en un marco teórico consistente para aplicarse en el proceso de enfermería. Este estudio realizó un análisis teórico-reflexivo, basado en el Modelo de Adaptación de Callista Roy y en la Teoría de las Transiciones de Chick-Meleis, sobre el aporte de la teleconsulta como herramienta de la enfermería de práctica avanzada a la atención de pacientes adultos mayores y de aquellos con enfermedades crónicas en el contexto de la pandemia del Covid-19. La reflexión se presenta en dos momentos: "teorías de enfermería y enfrentamiento al Covid-19" y "modos de adaptación a los nuevos modelos de asistencia y las prácticas avanzadas en enfermería", fundamentados en las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. El avance de la pandemia en Brasil trajo cambios relacionados con los ciclos de vida, los procesos de salud/enfermedad y procesos organizacionales, que requirieron el desarrollo de un estado adaptativo-transaccional por parte de los usuarios y los profesionales de la salud. En este contexto, las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, sumadas a la enfermería de práctica avanzada, jugaron un papel clave para mitigar el distanciamiento social y sus repercusiones en la asistencia sanitaria.

RESUMO A teleconsulta pode ser definida como uma prática avançada de enfermagem que requer do enfermeiro raciocínio clínico fundamentado em um arcabouço teórico consistente para aplicação no processo de enfermagem. No presente estudo, realizou-se uma análise teórico-reflexiva, fundamentada no Modelo de Adaptação de Callista Roy e na Teoria de Transição de Chick-Meleis, sobre a contribuição da teleconsulta como prática avançada de enfermagem no atendimento a pacientes idosos e com doenças crônicas no contexto da pandemia de covid-19. A reflexão é apresentada em dois momentos: "teorias de enfermagem e o enfrentamento da covid-19" e "formas de adaptação a novos modelos de assistência e as práticas avançadas em enfermagem", norteados pelas tecnologias de comunicação e informação. O agravamento da pandemia no Brasil trouxe mudanças relacionadas aos ciclos de vida, aos processos saúde/doença e organizacionais, demandando o desenvolvimento de um estado adaptativo-transacional por parte dos usuários e profissionais de saúde. Neste contexto, as tecnologias da informação e comunicação aliadas à prática avançada de enfermagem representam papel fundamental para atenuar o distanciamento social e suas repercussões na assistência à saúde.

Blood Pressure Control and Adherence to Drug Treatment in Patients with Hypertension Treated at a Specialized Outpatient Clinic: A Cross-Sectional Study.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and identify variables associated with the control of hypertension and adherence to antihypertensive drug treatment in a group of patients with hypertension monitored in a specialized, highly complex outpatient service. METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional study was carried out in the hypertension unit of a tertiary teaching hospital. Patients diagnosed with hypertensive aged 18 years and over and accompanied for at least six months were included in the study. Patients with secondary hypertension and pregnant women were excluded. The sample consisted of 253 patients. Adherence/concordance to antihypertensive treatment was assessed using the Morisky Green Levine Scale. Blood pressure control was set for values less than 140/90 mmHg. Variables with p≤0.20 in univariate analysis were included in multiple logistic regression. The level of significance adopted was p ≤0.05. RESULTS: Most of patients were white, married and women, with a mean age of 65 (13.3) years old, low income, and education levels. Blood pressure control and adherence were observed in 69.2% and 90.1% of the patients, respectively. Variables that were independently associated with blood pressure control were (OR, odds ratio; CI, 95% confidence interval): married marital status (OR 2.3; CI 1.34-4.28), use of calcium channel blockers (OR 0.4; CI 0.19-0.92) and number of prescribed antihypertensive drugs (OR 0.78; CI 0.66-0.92). Adherence was not associated with any of the variables studied. CONCLUSION: There was a high frequency of patients with satisfactory adherence to antihypertensive drug treatment. Blood pressure control was less frequent and was associated with social and treatment-related factors.

Work-related violences and associated variables in oncology nursing professionals. / Violências relacionadas ao trabalho e variáveis associadas em profissionais de enfermagem que atuam em oncologia.

Occupational violence is a problem that health professionals are exposed to daily. This cross-sectional study aimed at identifying the prevalence of violence at work (verbal/physical) and the variables related to it in nursing professionals working in oncology. Physical or verbal aggression was assessed through self-report. The relationship between sociodemographic, psycho-emotional and work-related violence (verbal/physical) variables was analyzed using the Chi-Square, Fisher's Exact, Student T and Mann-Whitney tests. The study sample consisted of 231 nursing professionals. The prevalence of physical or verbal aggression reported in the last year was 61.5%. A higher prevalence of aggression was evidenced in professionals who stated that they were tired at the end of the shift and presented reduced concentration during the shift. It is noteworthy that workers who suffered violence presented high levels of burnout in all subscales, a higher Mean score on the work stress scale and a lower Mean with regards to sleep quality. The findings of this study point to the need for institutional measures to prevent and control occupational violence.

Blood pressure control of hypertensive patients followed in a high complexity clinic and associated variables / Controle da pressão arterial de hipertensos acompanhados em um ambulatório de alta complexidade e variáveis associadas

Abstract Introduction: Arterial hypertension is a disease that has a high impact on cardiovascular mortality and morbidity; however, it is still insufficiently controlled. Objectives: To assess hypertension control in patients seen at a specialized clinic and to identify associated variables. Method: Cross-sectional study involving the analysis of medical records from 782 patients treated in a highly complex outpatient clinic. Inclusion criteria: age ≥18 years, diagnosed with hypertension, in treatment ≥6 months. Patients with secondary hypertension (104) and incomplete data (64) were excluded. The main outcome was blood pressure control (systolic <140 and diastolic <90 mmHg). The independent variables studied were: sociodemographic and clinical characteristics (use of drugs, comorbidities and laboratory tests). Pearson's χ2 tests, Fisher's test, Student's t and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests were performed in the bivariate analysis and logistic regression in the multiple analyses, adopting p≤0.05. Results: The prevalence of hypertensive control was 51.1%. It was associated with a lack of control: body mass index (OR = 1.038; 95% CI = 1.008 - 1.071), history of stroke (OR = 0.453; 95% CI = 0.245 - 0.821), left ventricular hypertrophy (OR = 1.765; 95% CI = 1.052 - 3.011), and number of medications (OR = 1.082; 95% CI = 1.033 - 1.136). Conclusion: About half of the hypertensive patients had their blood pressure controlled; clinical variables and target organ damage were associated with the control.

Resumo Introdução: A hipertensão arterial é uma doença com alto impacto na mortalidade e morbidade cardiovascular, contudo ainda demonstra insuficientes taxas de controle. Objetivos: Avaliar o controle da hipertensão em pacientes atendidos em um ambulatório especializado e identificar variáveis associadas. Método: Estudo transversal com análise do prontuário de 782 pacientes atendidos em um ambulatório de alta complexidade. Critérios de inclusão: idade ≥ 18 anos e diagnóstico de hipertensão em tratamento ≥ 6 meses. Foram excluídos hipertensão secundária (104) e dados incompletos (64). O desfecho principal foi o controle da pressão arterial (Sistólica < 140 e diastólica < 90 mmHg). As variáveis independentes estudadas foram: características sociodemográficas e clínicas (uso de medicamentos, comorbidades e exames laboratoriais). Realizou-se testes χ2 de Pearson, teste Fisher, t de Student e Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney na análise bivariada e Regressão Logística na análise múltipla, adotando p ≤ 0,05. Resultados: A prevalência de controle dos hipertensos foi 51,1%. Associou-se à falta de controle: índice de massa corporal (OR = 1,038; IC95% = 1,008 - 1,071), histórico de acidente vascular encefálico (OR = 0,453; IC95% = 0,245 - 0,821) e hipertrofia ventricular esquerda (OR = 1,765; IC95% = 1,052 - 3,011), e número de medicamentos (OR = 1,082; IC95% = 1,033 - 1,136). Conclusão: Cerca da metade dos hipertensos estava com pressão arterial controlada e variáveis clínicas e lesão em órgão alvo associaram-se ao controle.

Hypertensive crisis: clinical characteristics of patients with hypertensive urgency, emergency and pseudocrisis at a public emergency department.

OBJECTIVE: To assess patients with hypertensive crisis, classified as urgency, emergency or pseudocrisis, and identify the associated variables. METHODS: We evaluated a total of 508 patients (57% women; 56.3±13.8 years old) with hypertensive crisis (diastolic blood pressure of 120mmHg), aged 18 years or over, seen at the emergency department of a public general hospital. RESULTS: The prevalence of hypertensive crises was 6/1,000; in that, 71.7% presented hypertensive urgency, 19.1% hypertensive emergency, and 9.2% hypertensive pseudocrisis. In the multinominal logistic regression, pseudocrisis and urgency conditions were compared to hypertensive emergency. Therefore, the presence of pain (OR: 55.58; 95%CI: 10.55-292.74) except chest pain and headache, and emotional problems (OR: 17.13; 95%CI: 2.80-104.87) increased the likelihood of hypertensive pseudocrisis. Age >60 years (OR: 0,32; 95%CI: 0.10-0.96) and neurologic problems (OR: 1.5.10-8; 95%CI: 1.5.10-8-1.5.10-8) protected against hypertensive pseudocrisis. The comparison of hypertensive urgency with hypertensive emergency showed that age >60 years (OR: 0.50; 95%CI: 0.27-0.92), neurologic (OR: 0.09; 95%CI: 0.04-0.18) and emotional problems (OR: 0.06; 95%CI: 4.7.10-3-0.79) protected against hypertensive urgency. Moreover, only headache (OR: 14.28; 95%CI: 3.32-61.47) increased the likelihood of hypertensive urgency. CONCLUSION: Advanced age and neurological problems were associated to hypertensive emergency. Headache was associated with hypertensive urgency. Pain and emotional problems were associated with hypertensive pseudocrisis. Our results can contribute to identifying patients with hypertensive crisis who seek emergency services.

Shift work of nursing professionals and blood pressure, burnout and common mental disorders.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influence of shift work on blood pressure, the presence of burnout and common mental disorders in nursing professionals. METHOD: A cross-sectional study. Burnout was assessed by the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Common Mental Disorders by the Self-Reporting Questionnaire. Casual blood pressure measurement and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) were performed. RESULTS: 231 professionals participated. The majority (59.7%) worked in shifts, and this condition was associated (p≤0.05) with: higher weekly workload; doing the night shift; shorter training and work time at the institution; alcoholism; leisure activity; and alteration in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring of the sleep period. The professionals with common mental disorders and who worked in shifts had lower casual diastolic pressure levels (p = 0.039) and higher hypertension prevalence (p = 0.045). The presence of emotional exhaustion was associated with normal waking blood pressure and depersonalization with altered sleep blood pressure. CONCLUSION: Shift work was associated with a higher prevalence of work-related negative factors, inadequate habits and lifestyles, and change in sleep blood pressure.

Hypertension is the underlying cause of death assessed at the autopsy of individuals.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze hypertension and its relationship with the causes of death identified by the autopsy. METHOD: Cross-sectional study analyzed 356 participants belonging to the Brazilian Aging Brain Study Group, over 50 years of age, autopsied at the Sao Paulo Autopsy Service between 2004 to 2014. A clinical interview was conducted with the informant of the deceased. Hypertension was defined by reporting the disease and/or use of antihypertensive medication, by the informant of the deceased. Descriptive analyzes and bivariate and multivariable associations were performed. RESULTS: The prevalence of hypertension was 66.2% and it was the second leading cause of death (25.6%) identified by autopsy, preceded by atherosclerosis (37.8%). The variables associated with hypertension were: female gender (OR=2.30 (1.34-3.90)); living with partner [OR=0.55 (0.32-0.92)]; Body Mass Index [OR=1.14 (1.08-1.22)] and history of diabetes [OR=2.39 (1.34-4.27)]. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of hypertension was high, and it was the second most common underlying cause of death. The gold standard for the definition of cause of death, the autopsy, shows important results, which confirmed the relevance of hypertension as a public health problem.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar la hipertensión y su relación con las causas de muerte identificadas por la autopsia. Método: Estudio transversal, que analizó a 356 participantes del Biobanco para Estudios en el Envejecimiento, con edad mayor a 50 años, autopsiados en el Servicio de Verificación de Defunciones entre los años 2004 y 2014. Una entrevista clínica fue realizada con el informante del fallecido. La hipertensión fue definida por el relato de la enfermedad y/o uso de medicación antihipertensiva por el informante del fallecido. Se llevaron a cabo análisis descriptivos y asociaciones bivariadas y multivariables. Resultados: La prevalencia de hipertensión arterial fue del 66,2% y fue la segunda causa básica de defunción (25,6%) identificada en la autopsia, precedida de aterosclerosis (37,8%). Las variables asociadas con la hipertensión fueron: género femenino (OR = 2,30 (1,34-3,90); tener a una pareja [OR = 0,55 (0,32-0,92)]; índice de masa corporal [OR = 1,14 (1,08-1,22)] e historia de diabetes [OR = 2,39 (1,34-4,27)]. Conclusión: La prevalencia de hipertensión fue elevada y representó la segunda causa básica de defunción más frecuente. El uso de la autopsia como regla de oro para definir la causa de la muerte confirmó la relevancia de la hipertensión como un problema de salud pública.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a hipertensão e sua relação com as causas de morte identificadas pela autópsia. Método: Estudo transversal, que analisou 356 participantes do Biobanco para Estudos no Envelhecimento, com idade maior do que 50 anos, autopsiados no Serviço de Verificação de Óbitos entre os anos de 2004 a 2014. Uma entrevista clínica foi realizada com o informante do falecido. A hipertensão foi definida pelo relato da doença e/ou o uso de medicação anti-hipertensiva pelo informante do falecido. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e associações bivariadas e multivariáveis. Resultados: A prevalência de hipertensão arterial foi de 66,2% e foi a segunda causa básica de óbito (25,6%) identificada na autópsia, precedida de aterosclerose (37,8%). As variáveis associadas à hipertensão foram: gênero feminino (OR = 2,30 (1,34-3,90); ter um parceiro [OR = 0,55 (0,32-0,92)]; índice de massa corporal [OR = 1,14 (1,08-1,22)] e história de diabetes [OR = 2,39 (1,34-4,27)]. Conclusão: A prevalência de hipertensão foi elevada e representou a segunda causa básica de óbito mais frequente. O uso da autópsia como padrão-ouro para definir a causa da morte confirmou a relevância da hipertensão como um problema de saúde pública.

Shift work of nursing professionals and blood pressure, burnout and common mental disorders / Trabajo en turnos de profesionales de enfermería y la presión arterial, burnout y trastornos mentales comunes / Trabalho em turnos de profissionais de enfermagem e a pressão arterial, burnout e transtornos mentais comuns

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the influence of shift work on blood pressure, the presence of burnout and common mental disorders in nursing professionals. Method: A cross-sectional study. Burnout was assessed by the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Common Mental Disorders by the Self-Reporting Questionnaire. Casual blood pressure measurement and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) were performed. Results: 231 professionals participated. The majority (59.7%) worked in shifts, and this condition was associated (p≤0.05) with: higher weekly workload; doing the night shift; shorter training and work time at the institution; alcoholism; leisure activity; and alteration in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring of the sleep period. The professionals with common mental disorders and who worked in shifts had lower casual diastolic pressure levels (p = 0.039) and higher hypertension prevalence (p = 0.045). The presence of emotional exhaustion was associated with normal waking blood pressure and depersonalization with altered sleep blood pressure. Conclusion: Shift work was associated with a higher prevalence of work-related negative factors, inadequate habits and lifestyles, and change in sleep blood pressure.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar la influencia del trabajo en turnos en la presión arterial, presencia de burnout y trastornos mentales comunes en profesionales enfermeros. Método: Estudio transversal. El burnout fue evaluado por el Maslach Burnout Inventory y los Trastornos Mentales Comunes, por el Self Reporting Questionnaire. Se realizaron la medida casual de la presión y el Monitoreo Ambulatorio de la Presión Arterial. Resultados: Participaron 231 profesionales. La mayoría (59,7%) trabajaba en turnos, y dicha condición se asoció (p≤0,05) con: mayor carga de trabajo semanal; hacer turno nocturno; menor tiempo de licenciado y de trabajo en el centro; etilismo; actividad de ocio; y modificación en el monitoreo ambulatorio de la presión arterial del período del sueño. Los profesionales con trastornos mentales comunes y que trabajaban en turnos presentaron menores niveles de presión casual diastólica (p=0,039) y mayor prevalencia de hipertensión (p=0,045). La presencia de agotamiento emotivo se asoció con presión arterial de vigilia normal y despersonalización con presión arterial de sueño modificado. Conclusión: El trabajo en turnos se asoció con la mayor prevalencia de factores negativos relacionados con el trabajo, hábitos y estilo de vida inadecuados y modificación de la presión en el período de sueño.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a influência do trabalho em turnos na pressão arterial, na presença de burnout e transtornos mentais comuns em profissionais de enfermagem. Método: Estudo transversal. O burnout foi avaliado pelo Maslach Burnout Inventory, e os Transtornos Mentais Comuns, pelo Self Reporting Questionnaire. Realizaram-se a medida casual da pressão e a Monitorização Ambulatorial da Pressão Arterial. Resultados: Participaram 231 profissionais. A maioria (59,7%) trabalhava em turnos, e essa condição associou-se (p≤0,05) com: maior carga de trabalho semanal; fazer plantão noturno; menor tempo de formado e de trabalho na instituição; etilismo; atividade de lazer; e alteração na monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial do período do sono. Os profissionais com transtornos mentais comuns e que trabalhavam em turnos apresentaram menores níveis de pressão casual diastólica (p=0,039) e maior prevalência de hipertensão (p=0,045). A presença de exaustão emocional associou-se com pressão arterial de vigília normal e despersonalização com pressão arterial de sono alterada. Conclusão: O trabalho em turnos associou-se à maior prevalência de fatores negativos relacionados ao trabalho, hábitos e estilos de vida inadequados e alteração da pressão no período de sono.

Hypertensive crisis: clinical characteristics of patients with hypertensive urgency, emergency and pseudocrisis at a public emergency department / Crise hipertensiva: características clínicas de pacientes com urgência, emergência e pseudocrise hipertensivas em um serviço público de emergência

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess patients with hypertensive crisis, classified as urgency, emergency or pseudocrisis, and identify the associated variables. Methods: We evaluated a total of 508 patients (57% women; 56.3±13.8 years old) with hypertensive crisis (diastolic blood pressure of 120mmHg), aged 18 years or over, seen at the emergency department of a public general hospital. Results: The prevalence of hypertensive crises was 6/1,000; in that, 71.7% presented hypertensive urgency, 19.1% hypertensive emergency, and 9.2% hypertensive pseudocrisis. In the multinominal logistic regression, pseudocrisis and urgency conditions were compared to hypertensive emergency. Therefore, the presence of pain (OR: 55.58; 95%CI: 10.55-292.74) except chest pain and headache, and emotional problems (OR: 17.13; 95%CI: 2.80-104.87) increased the likelihood of hypertensive pseudocrisis. Age >60 years (OR: 0,32; 95%CI: 0.10-0.96) and neurologic problems (OR: 1.5.10-8; 95%CI: 1.5.10-8-1.5.10-8) protected against hypertensive pseudocrisis. The comparison of hypertensive urgency with hypertensive emergency showed that age >60 years (OR: 0.50; 95%CI: 0.27-0.92), neurologic (OR: 0.09; 95%CI: 0.04-0.18) and emotional problems (OR: 0.06; 95%CI: 4.7.10-3-0.79) protected against hypertensive urgency. Moreover, only headache (OR: 14.28; 95%CI: 3.32-61.47) increased the likelihood of hypertensive urgency. Conclusion: Advanced age and neurological problems were associated to hypertensive emergency. Headache was associated with hypertensive urgency. Pain and emotional problems were associated with hypertensive pseudocrisis. Our results can contribute to identifying patients with hypertensive crisis who seek emergency services.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar pacientes com crise hipertensiva, classificada em urgência, emergência ou pseudocrise, e identificar variáveis associadas. Métodos: Foram avaliados 508 pacientes (57% mulheres; 56,3±13,8 anos) com crise hipertensiva (pressão diastólica de 120mmHg), idade maior ou igual a 18 anos, atendidos em um serviço de emergência de um hospital geral público. A crise hipertensiva foi classificada em urgência, emergência ou pseudocrise. Resultados: A prevalência da crise hipertensiva foi 6/1.000, com 71,7% com urgência hipertensiva, 19,1% com emergência hipertensiva e 9,2% com pseudocrise hipertensiva. Na análise de regressão logística multinomial, as condições de pseudocrise e urgência foram comparadas com a emergência hipertensiva. Assim, presença de dor (OR: 55,58; IC95%: 10,55-292,74), exceto precordialgia e cefaleia, e problemas emocionais (OR: 17,13; IC95%: 2,80-104,87) elevaram a chance para pseudocrise hipertensiva. Idade acima de 60 anos (OR: 0,32; IC95%: 0,10-0,96) e problemas neurológicos (OR: 1,5.10-8; IC95%: 1,5.10-8-1,5.10-8) foram protetores para pseudocrise hipertensiva. A urgência hipertensiva comparada com emergência hipertensiva mostrou que idade acima de 60 anos (OR: 0,50; IC95%: 0,27-0,92), problemas neurológicos (OR: 0,09; IC95%: 0,04-0,18) e emocionais (OR: 0,06; IC95%: 4,7.10-3-0,79) foram protetores para urgência hipertensiva, e apenas cefaleia (OR: 14,28; IC95%: 3,32-61,47) elevou a chance para urgência hipertensiva. Conclusão: Idade mais elevada e problemas neurológicos se associaram à emergência hipertensiva. Cefaleia associou-se à urgência hipertensiva. Dor e problemas emocionais se associaram à pseudocrise hipertensiva. Nossos resultados podem contribuir para aprimorar a identificação de pacientes com crise hipertensiva que procuram serviços de emergência.
