OBJETIVO: analisar as condições de trabalho dos profissionais de enfermagem no contexto de pandemia da Covid-19 em um hospital do interior de Mato Grosso. MÉTODO: estudo descritivo, transversal, de abordagem quantitativa com coleta de dados realizada por meio de um questionário onde a escala de Likert foi atribuída. Os dados foram obtidos no período entre novembro de 2020 a janeiro de 2021 e tabulados por meio do Microsoft Excel®. RESULTADOS: amostra composta por 50 profissionais de enfermagem. A maioria dos participantes 48 (96,00%) realizaram atendimento direto aos casos de COVID-19 e asseguram ter recebido equipamentos de paramentação individual para assistência. Em relação a capacitações, 41 (82,0%) afirmaram ter obtido no ambiente de trabalho e 42 (84,00%) profissionais perceberam alterações no labor decorrente da situação pandêmica. CONCLUSÃO: os participantes reconhecem que houve alterações na rotina laboral decorrente da pandemia da Covid-19, potencializando os desgastes físicos e mentais associados ao trabalho.

Plants used by the rural community of Bananal, Mato Grosso, Brazil: Aspects of popular knowledge.

Studies in rural communities are important to maintain popular knowledge between generations, as well as to identify new species for pharmaceutical production. Thus, the objectives of this study were to determine which plant species the rural community of Bananal, Mato Grosso, Brazil, uses by calculating the levels of fidelity and concordance regarding species uses among residents and to determine if there is a relationship between the number of known useful plants and levels of education, age, and residence time. Ethnobotanical data was collected from residents of the community through semi-structured interviews in January/December/2016. Species diversity was calculated using Shannon-Wiener, Level of Fidelity (LF), Correction Factor, and the Percentage of Agreement regarding the Main Uses (AMU). Statistical tests were performed using generalized linear models (GLM) in the R environment. The plant use indications were grouped according to the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD 10). We found 152 species belonging to 130 genera and 67 families. The most frequently used plant parts were leaves, and decoction was the most frequent preparation mode. Strychnos pseudoquina was the species with the highest amount of use indications. The diversity index was 4.5 nats/ind-1. The body system with the most citations was the code XVIII of ICD 10, corresponding to the species: alfavaca, mentraste, terramicina, angelim, fedegoso. Medicinal species with AMU values higher than 25% were: Strychnos pseudoquina, Plectranthus barbatus, Citrus sinensis cv. pera, Cymbopogon citratus. There was a relationship between the number of useful plants and the residence time of the participants. The Bananal community revealed high species richness and the relationship of knowledge showed that the older the residents and the longer their residence time in the community, the more knowledge they acquired.
