[The past and future of occupational health nursing research in Japan].

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to review the trends in "occupational health nursing research" conducted in Japan and determine research areas that need strengthening eventually. METHODS: All articles published in Ichushi Web since 1903 were searched using the keywords "occupational health nursing" and "research." The 486 papers identified were extracted and categorized according to type and publication year. The research content of 194 original and review papers was categorized according to whether they addressed practical methods and abilities. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: According to publication type, out of the 486 papers, 230 (47.3%) were conference proceedings, whereas 194 (39.9%) were original and review papers. Among practical methods-related papers, 107 (55.2%), 86 (44.3%), and 1 (0.5%) were on general, health, and work environment management, respectively, whereas none addressed work management and occupational health education. Among practical ability-related papers, 125 (64.4%), 23 (11.9%), and 46 (23.7%) were on knowledge, technology, and competency, respectively. The overview of annual trends showed that the papers of all types have increased progressively. While conference proceedings accounted for 80% of the papers until 1992, recent proportions have shown a decrease to < 50%. Conversely, original papers accounted for < 20% of the papers early on, but observed a progressive increase, with recent proportions of > 40%. Regarding content, almost no papers addressed work environment management, work management, and occupational health education. Additionally, practical ability-related papers highlighted that although some research on technologies and competencies has been conducted, some areas remain inadequately addressed. CONCLUSIONS: In Japan, occupational health nursing papers have been steadily increasing since the first conference proceeding was published in 1980. Among papers addressing practical methods, those related to general management were most common, of which occupational health management accounted for approximately 80%, indicating efforts aimed at the development of occupational health nursing through research. Moreover, limited papers addressed work environment management, work management, and occupational health education, suggesting the need for future research. Among papers addressing practical ability, > 60% were related to knowledge, with research on competencies was only > 20%, suggesting the need for further research eventually.

Undergraduate Occupational Health Nursing Education in Chile, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico.

BACKGROUND: Occupational health nursing plays a fundamental role in addressing the health of the working population; however, training in this area differs around the world in terms of levels, duration, content, and requirements, and the current situation in Latin American countries is unknown. The objective of this study was to analyze undergraduate nursing education in occupational health from an international perspective considering Chile, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter, descriptive study, based on bibliographic methodology, whose sample was documentary, consulting government databases in Chile, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico. FINDINGS: Heterogeneity was identified within the training in the countries analyzed, with a small number of courses in the course structures; in most cases, the courses were taught in the last years of training and predominantly as elective courses. CONCLUSIONS: The authors recommend that training centers develop programs associated with occupational nursing, which is considered an imperative to strengthen public health in developing countries and an ethical and equitable response to the working population.

[Occupational Health Nurses' Role in the Occupational Health Surveillance of Exposure to Toxics: Toluene as a Case Study]. / Desarrollo de funciones de la enfermería del trabajo en la vigilancia de la salud laboral por exposición a tóxicos: el tolueno como ejemplo.

INTRODUCTION: Toluene, an aromatic hydrocarbon present in various products, is primarily absorbed through the respiratory tract and can affect different body organs. Occupational health nurses play a key role in detecting acute and chronic exposures. They are also responsible for collecting and processing samples for biomonitoring. However, information on the collection and handling requirements, as well as nursing interventions, is scarce and heterogeneous. AIMS: We reviewed the existing literature linking toluene and occupational health nursing, identified sample collection and processing requirements, as well as signs and symptoms of exposure, and related them to diagnoses and nursing interventions. METHODS: We conducted a literature search using the PICO strategy, without limitations on document type, date, or language, in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Signs and symptoms were classified according to the system and nursing test performed during the health examination, identifying possible diagnoses and nursing interventions. RESULTS: We found no studies linking toluene and occupational health nursing. Seven out of 60 identified documents were selected, which provided information on sample collection requirements. Signs and symptoms were identified based on nursing tests and related to diagnoses and nursing interventions. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of occupational health nursing in studies on toluene is scarce. Sample collection criteria are heterogeneous and limited. There were no studies relating signs and symptoms of toluene exposure to diagnoses and nursing interventions. Further studies on occupational toxicology are needed from a nursing perspective.

Introducción: El tolueno, hidrocarburo aromático presente en varios productos, se absorbe principalmente por vía respiratoria y afecta diferentes sistemas corporales. Los enfermeros/as del trabajo son clave para detectar exposiciones agudas y crónicas. Además, son responsables de recolectar y procesar las muestras para su biomonitorización. Sin embargo, la información sobre los requisitos de recogida y manipulación, así como de intervenciones enfermeras es escasa y heterogénea.  Objetivo: Revisar la bibliografía disponible sobre el tolueno y la enfermería del trabajo, identificar requisitos de recogida y procesamiento de muestras, así como los signos y síntomas de exposición y relacionarlos con diagnósticos e intervenciones enfermeras. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica aplicando la estrategia PICO, no limitada por tipo de documento, fecha o idioma en PubMed, Web of Science y Scopus. Se clasificaron los signos y síntomas según sistema y prueba de enfermería realizada durante el examen de salud, identificando diagnósticos e intervenciones enfermeras. Resultados: No se encontraron estudios sobre tolueno y enfermería del trabajo. De 60 citas identificadas, 6 artículos señalaban requisitos de recogida de muestras. Se identificaron signos y síntomas de acuerdo a las pruebas de enfermería y se relacionaron con diagnósticos e intervenciones de enfermería. Conclusiones: La presencia de la enfermería del trabajo en la literatura científica sobre tolueno es escasa. Los criterios de recogida de muestras son heterogéneos y limitados. No se han encontrado estudios que relacionen signos y síntomas de exposición al tolueno con diagnósticos e intervenciones enfermeras. Se propone un cuadro relacional novedoso. Son necesarios estudios de toxicología laboral desde la perspectiva de la enfermería del trabajo.

Construction and Validation of an Occupational Risks Scale for Intra-hospital Nursing Staff / Construcción y validación de una escala de riesgos laborales del personal de enfermería intrahospitalario / Construção e validação de escala de risco ocupacional para equipe de enfermagem intra-hospitalar

Objective. To construct and evaluate initial validity indicators of an instrument on occupational risks for hospital nursing staff. Methods. A methodological study was conducted in four Chilean hospitals. The study was carried out in three stages: (i) integrative literature review on risk assessment instruments for nursing; (ii) descriptive qualitative study on 113 health professionals to identify their work conditions and experiences regarding occupational risks and construct three instruments proposals for nursing managers, clinical nurses, and technicians; and (iii) validity and reliability study of the three instruments in 503 nurses and nursing technicians. To collect the data from the qualitative study, individual interviews, focal groups, and non-participant observation were conducted. The data were analyzed thematically into predefined risk categories. Content validation was performed through expert judgment, and exploratory factor analysis of principal components was conducted for the preliminary construct validity study. Cronbach's alpha was used as an indicator of internal consistency. Results. A total of 128 items were identified, distributed across 11 categories and 25 subcategories of occupational risks for the three instruments derived from the original proposal. After expert validation, pilot study, and instrument administration, Cronbach's alpha values between 0.88 and 0.93 were obtained. Exploratory factor analysis distinguished eight to eleven components, with unsatisfactory goodness-of-fit indicators. Conclusion. The instruments demonstrated good parameters of content validity and reliability, although their construct validity needs further improvement.

Assuming the Challenge of Developing Research Projects in Occupational Health Nursing.

In today's society of uncertainty, we are witnessing a transformation of the economic, social, demographic, digital, ecological, and employment model, which faces unforeseen challenges. These challenges require reflecting beyond their consequences, and new workplace risks call for a debate on solutions beyond traditional ones. In the specific context of companies, the main functions of occupational health nursing are to prevent, promote, protect, and restore workers' health. The integration of research into nursing practice entails the better implementation of scientific advances. Although in the real world of professional nursing practice, there is a discrepancy between the knowledge obtained through research and clinical practice, practicing based on care plans, solid practice guidelines, and scientific evidence is a maxim.

Cargas de trabalho de profissionais técnico-administrativos de uma instituição pública de ensino superior / Workloads of technical-administrative professionals at a public institution of higher education

Resumo: A saúde do trabalhador tem se deparado com novos desafios advindos, por exemplo, da pandemia da covid-19 e da indústria 4.0, o que implica na inevitabilidade de refletir sobre as cargas de trabalho nesse contexto. A dissertação que se segue tem como objetivo analisar as cargas de trabalho presentes no processo laboral dos técnico-administrativos de uma instituição pública de ensino superior no contexto da pandemia da covid-19. Sugere-se também reconhecer as estratégias utilizadas para o enfrentamento dessas cargas no meio laboral. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo exploratória e descritiva, de natureza qualitativa. O estudo se dá na região sul do Brasil. Para esse fim, propõe-se a criação e testagem de um instrumento para identificar as cargas de trabalho que podem causar impactos negativos ou desgaste desses trabalhadores. Os pesquisadores Asa Laurell e Mariano Noriega (1989) orientam o referencial teórico do estudo, a partir do conceito de Cargas de Trabalho, classificadas em físicas, químicas, biológicas, mecânicas, fisiológicas e psíquicas. A coleta de dados se estabelece a partir da aplicação do instrumento criado, um questionário aplicado por meio de entrevista (presencial ou online), com 31 técnico-administrativos que exercem o cargo de secretário(a) nas coordenações de cursos de graduação de uma universidade pública federal. O tratamento dos dados se dá com base na Análise de Conteúdo Temática de Laurence Bardin (2016), com a proposição de duas categorias finais: a primeira sobre o reconhecimento das cargas de trabalho dos técnico-administrativos. Nessa categoria são apresentadas as cargas de trabalho que causam ou podem gerar algum tipo de desgaste nos trabalhadores. O percurso de investigação mostra que as cargas mais reconhecidas pelos trabalhadores pesquisados, a partir de sua percepção do processo de trabalho, são as psíquicas e fisiológicas, com atenção para as condições ergonômicas do trabalho. A segunda categoria, sobre as estratégias individuais e coletivas utilizadas por esses trabalhadores para o enfrentamento das cargas de trabalho, evidencia que os técnico-administrativos utilizam mecanismos individuais e coletivos como medidas protetivas contra os agravos decorrentes do labor, porém esses fatores de proteção requerem aprimoramento. Esses achados corroboram com o que traz a literatura sobre a presença dessas cargas nos ambientes de trabalho, principalmente nas áreas de prestação de serviços e atendimento a pessoas. Uma vez reconhecida a existência das cargas de trabalho, pode-se propor medidas de promoção à saúde e prevenção de doenças dos técnico-administrativos.

Abstract: Worker's health has faced new challenges arising, for example, the covid-19 pandemic and Health 4.0, which implies the inevitability of reflecting on workloads in this context. Therefore, the following dissertation aims to analyze the workloads present in the work process of administrative technicians at a public institution of higher education in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. It is also suggested to recognize the strategies used to face these workloads in the work environment. This is an exploratory and descriptive research, with a qualitative nature. The study takes place in the southern region of Brazil. This academic work proposes the creation and testing of an instrument (questionnaire) to identify the workloads that can cause negative impacts or cause wear on these Workers. Researchers Asa Laurell and Mariano Noriega (1989) guide the theoretical framework of the study, based on the concept of Workloads, classified as physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, physiological and psychological. For the data collection, the questionnaire was applied through interviews (in person or online), with 31 administrative technicians who work as secretary in the coordination of undergraduate courses at a federal public university. Data treatment is based on Laurence Bardin's Thematic Content Analysis (2016), with the proposition of two final categories: the first one is the recognition of administrative technical workers workloads. This category presents the workloads that cause or may generate some type of wear on workers. The investigation shows that the workloads most recognized by the surveyed, based on their perception of the work process, are psychic and physiological, with attention to the ergonomic conditions of work. The second category, about the individual and collective strategies used by these workers to handle with workloads, shows that the administrative technical workers use individual and collective mechanisms as protective measures against the damage resulting from work, but these protection factors require improvement. These findings corroborate with what the literature brings about the presence of these loads in work environments, especially in the areas of service provision and assistance to people. Once the existence of workloads is recognized, measures can be proposed to promote health and prevent diseases for these administrative technical workers.

Update on occupational health nursing through 21st century requirements: A three-round Delphi study.

BACKGROUND: Occupational health nurses have promoted health and practiced at a strategic level for many years, and are closely aligned with public health and policies, workplace and environmental regulations, and changes in the nursing profession. OBJECTIVE: This study was carried out to create a consensus text on the definition, qualifications, responsibilities, and education of occupational health nurses based on the 21st century requirements. DESIGN AND METHODS: A Delphi panel of public health nursing academicians, occupational health nurses, other health professionals, faculty members of public health, and occupational physicians. A consensus-building approach using three rounds of e-Delphi technique were used, with 45 participants in the first round, 41 in the second round, and 36 in the third round. Data were collected in all three rounds with Google Forms between October 28, 2021, to February 28, 2022. Qualitative content analysis was performed in the first round, and mean, standard deviation, median, and mode values were presented based on the answers to the 5-point Likert questions in the second and third rounds. Values of at least 80 % and above were used for the consensus text in the third round. RESULTS: 62.2 % of the participants were female. The mean age was found 47.71 ± 11.03 years. The experts reached a consensus on the definition of occupational health nurse by emphasizing professionalism, effective communication, record keeping, nursing knowledge, skills, equipment, and competence in the field, with a participation of 91.7 %. A consensus was reached on the qualifications including observation, examination, evaluation, research, health promotion, compliance with confidentiality and ethical rules, and working in harmony with the team, with a participation of 94.4 %. The responsibilities of occupational health nurses included to create a healthy and safe workplace, participate in periodic health examinations, maintain effective communication with employees, acting in accordance with ethical principles, provide continuous professional development, and perform health education and promotion, guidance, and counseling. Experts specified that occupational injuries and diseases, duties, authorities, and responsibilities of the occupational health nurse, occupational health and safety legislation, health education, risk assessment, effective communication, and health literacy need to be integrated into the content of certificate program with 97.7 % participation. A maximum of 500 h for the total duration of the certificate training was suggested. CONCLUSIONS: The expert panel opinions provide a wide perspective for competencies, and educational standards of occupational health nurses. The results could assist in initiating the infrastructure of multidisciplinary postgraduate education programs, developing national and international collaborations, and increasing the number of scientific events should contribute to the professional development of occupational health nursing. Future research should focus on imbedding these consensus items in national and international certificate programs to prepare qualified advanced occupational health nurses.

El rol de la enfermería del trabajo, un debate abierto / The role of occupational health nursing, an open debate

En una realidad social y laboral variable, compleja e inestable, la presencia de la enfermería del trabajo en las organizaciones constituye un valor añadido por su trayectoria y atención especializada. El periodo de formación de la especialidad tiene como objetivo formar a profesionales que puedan realizar actividades dirigidas a prevenir, promover, proteger y restaurar la salud de la población trabajadora. El enfoque de su actuación será laboral con perspectiva de salud pública, integral con mirada holística, integrado en el servicio de prevención de riesgos laborales y basado en la mejor evidencia científica disponible. A su vez, el ejercicio de la actividad debe realizarse también de acuerdo con estándares profesionales y ajustada a principios éticos. Por tanto, esta disciplina debe considerar no sólo que su práctica clínica sea efectiva, sino también coste-eficiente (AU)

In a variable, complex and unstable social and labour reality, the presence of occupational health nursing in organ-isations is an added value due to its specialised care and experience. The training period of the speciality aims to train professionals who can carry out activities aimed at preventing, promoting, protecting and restoring the health of the working population. The focus of their action will be occupational with a public health perspective, compre-hensive with a holistic view, integrated in the occupational risk prevention service and based on the best scientific evidence available. At the same time, the exercise of the activity must also be carried out in accordance with profes-sional standards and in line with ethical principles. Therefore, this discipline must consider not only that its clinical practice is effective, but also cost-efficient (AU)

[Occupational health nursing and professional associations: a reality in need of further development]. / El asociacionismo en la enfermería del trabajo, una realidad con un desarrollo pendiente.

Scientific and professional and societies constitute an element of social transformation. The nursing associative trend has run parallel to the social reality of the profession and its historical evolution. The late incorporation is conditioned by a delay in the conception of the discipline as a scientific profession with its own body of knowledge. Among others, the purpose of an association in this field is to promote updating in the professional skills of its members, identify the demands of its affiliated, provoke an open debate, promote collaborative research, favor the generation of knowledge and transfer that academic content to society. The text proposes a panoramic view of this polyhedral reality in which professional and scientific societies of this nursing discipline find themselves.

Las sociedades científicas y profesionales constituyen un elemento de transformación social. La tendencia asociativa enfermera ha discurrido paralela a la realidad social de la profesión y su evolución histórica. La incorporación tardía viene condicionada por un retraso en la concepción de la disciplina como una profesión científica con un cuerpo de conocimientos propio. Entre otros, la finalidad de una asociación en este ámbito es promover la actualización en las competencias profesionales de los integrantes, identificar las demandas de sus miembros, provocar un debate abierto, promover la investigación colaborativa, favorecer la generación de conocimiento y trasladar ese contenido académico a la sociedad. En el texto se propone una visión panorámica de esta realidad poliédrica en la que se encuentran las sociedades profesionales y científicas de esta disciplina enfermera.

Prevalência e fatores associados a hipertensão arterial em trabalhadores de uma instituição de ensino superior / Prevalence and factors associated with arterial hypertension in workers at a higher education institution

Objetivou-se avaliar características sociodemográfica e laborais, estilo de vida e presença de sintomas associadas à hipertensão arterial sistêmica em uma população de trabalhadores do setor público. Foi desenvolvido um estudo transversal, realizado com trabalhadores de uma instituição pública de Ensino Superior brasileira (n=629). Como variável dependente utilizou-se o diagnóstico autorrelatado de hipertensão arterial sistêmica, e as independentes relacionaram-se as características sociodemográficas e laborais, dados de estilo de vida, sintomas referidos e indicadores objetivos de saúde. Como resultados encontrou-se que a prevalência de hipertensão arterial autorreferida nos agentes universitários foi de, aproximadamente, 26% e esteve relacionada à idade, estado civil, vínculo trabalhista, desconforto no peito ao subir uma ladeira e ao IMC (p<0,01). Constatou-se que a prevalência de agentes universitários com hipertensão arterial sistêmica foi semelhante à população nacional. Dessa forma, são necessárias ações voltadas à prevenção de agravos e à melhoria na qualidade de trabalho dos agentes universitários.

The objective was to evaluate sociodemographic and labor characteristics, and the presence of style associated to systemic arterial hypertension in a population of workers from public sector. A cross-sectional study was carried out with workers from a Brazilian public higher education institution (n=629). As a dependent variable, the self-reported diagnosis of systemic hypertension is used and as independent characteristics, arterial, sociological, related lifestyle, indicators and related lifestyle indicators. As a result, it was found that the prevalence of arterial hypertension, self-reported in university university agents 26% and related to marital age, employment relationship, chest discomfort when climbing a hill and BMI (p<0.01). The prevalence of university agents with systemic arterial hypertension was verified for the national population. In this way, quality agents are designed to prevent hits and improve the quality of work of university students.
