Factors associated with burnout in military police officers in a city in Paraná.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the association between burnout and sociodemographic, work factors, lifestyle habits and health conditions of military police officers in a municipality in the state of Paraná, Brazil. METHOD: cross-sectional research with 131 military police officers. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software and the R program. Chi-square, Fisher's exact and Poisson Generalized Linear Model tests were used. RESULTS: most participants (65.6%) had a high level of burnout. In relation to protective factors, those who carried out leisure activities had a 33.6% chance of not developing burnout. Conjugality was also a protective factor. Not practicing physical activity and leisure activities are factors that can contribute to the occurrence of burnout. CONCLUSIONS: important factors and high rates of burnout were observed in the police officers investigated. It is necessary to implement public health policies to reduce burnout with attention focused on this professional category.

Serial measurement of the circulating levels of tumour necrosis factor and its soluble receptors 1 and 2 for monitoring leprosy patients during multidrug treatment.

Leprosy is an infectious and contagious spectral disease accompanied by a series of immunological events triggered by the host response to the aetiologic agent, Mycobacterium leprae . The induction and maintenance of the immune/inflammatory response in leprosy are linked to multiple cell interactions and soluble factors, primarily through the action of cytokines. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the serum levels of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and its soluble receptors (sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2) in leprosy patients at different stages of multidrug treatment (MDT) in comparison with non-infected individuals and to determine their role as putative biomarkers of the severity of leprosy or the treatment response. ELISA was used to measure the levels of these molecules in 30 healthy controls and 37 leprosy patients at the time of diagnosis and during and after MDT. Our results showed increases in the serum levels of TNF-α and sTNF-R2 in infected individuals in comparison with controls. The levels of TNF-α, but not sTNF-R2, decreased with treatment. The current results corroborate previous reports of elevated serum levels of TNF-α in leprosy and suggest a role for sTNF-R2 in the control of this cytokine during MDT.

Common mental disorders, productivity and presenteeism in nursing workers.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the occurrence of common mental disorders with loss of productivity and presenteeism in nursing workers at a public health service. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study, with 291 workers from Midwestern Brazil. Data collection carried out from October 2019 to January 2020, with instruments for sociodemographic characterization, labor and health conditions: Self Reporting Questionnaire-20, Standford Presenteeism Scale and Work Limitations Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with Mann-Whitney tests and logistic regression, respecting a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: The occurrence of common mental disorders was 4.27 times more likely to experience presenteeism, 10.17% of compromised overall productivity, and impairment of mental/interpersonal and production demands. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of common mental disorders was associated with presenteeism, with repercussions in loss of productivity of nursing workers.

Burnout syndrome in Primary Health Care.

Introduction: The labor situation is considered essential for social follow-up; however, the contradiction between its importance and the psychic changes it can cause to workers should be considered. Objectives: To check the presence of burnout syndrome in Primary Health Care workers in a municipality in the interior of the state of São Paulo and to check the association with the sociodemographic and labor data of these workers. Methods: Exploratory cross-sectional and quantitative study with 74 workers and developed from July to October 2020. Data were collected using an instrument for sociodemographic and labor characterization and for measurement of the syndrome, the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory already validated in Brazil. Descriptive statistics, frequency, percentage, measures of central tendency and dispersion were used; Fisher's exact test was applied to check the association between the studied variables and the burnout syndrome, considering the significance level of p < 0.05. The obtained data were discussed using the existing literature. Results: Among the participants, 20.3% had no changes, 18.9% showed distance, 16.2% had exhaustion, and 44.6% had burnout syndrome. There was statistical significance for the variable unit of work (p < 0.014). Conclusions: The importance of studying labor mental health in Primary Health Care is because of the constant exposure of workers to psychosocial risk situations in social settings and their instabilities. Knowledge of the conditions allows for intervention actions in the environments and makes it possible to face the problems.

Introdução: A conjuntura laboral é considerada indispensável ao seguimento social, entretanto, há que se considerar a incongruência entre sua importância e as alterações psíquicas que pode ocasionar aos trabalhadores. Objetivos: Verificar a presença da síndrome de burnout em trabalhadores da Atenção Primária à Saúde de um município do interior do estado de São Paulo e verificar sua associação com os dados sociodemográficos e laborais desses trabalhadores. Métodos: Estudo exploratório, transversal e quantitativo, direcionado a 74 trabalhadores e desenvolvido de julho a outubro de 2020. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se instrumento para caracterização sociodemográfica e laboral e, para mensuração da síndrome, o Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, já validado no Brasil. Foram realizadas estatísticas descritivas, frequência, percentual, medidas de tendência central e dispersão; utilizou-se o teste exato de Fisher para verificar a associação entre as variáveis estudadas e a síndrome de burnout, considerando o nível de significância p < 0,05. Os dados obtidos foram discutidos mediante a literatura existente. Resultados: Dentre os participantes, 20,3% não apresentaram alterações, 18,9% apresentaram distanciamento, 16,2% apresentaram exaustão e 44,6%, síndrome de burnout. Houve significância estatística para a variável unidade de trabalho (p < 0,014). Conclusões: Estudar a saúde mental laboral na Atenção Primária à Saúde tem importância, uma vez que há constante exposição a situações de riscos psicossociais nos cenários sociais, que apresentam instabilidades. O conhecimento das condições possibilita ações de intervenção nos ambientes e viabiliza o enfrentamento dos problemas.

Factors associated with presenteeism in nursing workers.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze factors associated with presenteeism in nursing workers with sociodemographic variables, health and work conditions, productivity and musculoskeletal symptoms. METHODS: this is a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, with 306 nursing workers from a hospital and municipal emergency room in a Brazilian capital. The Stanford Presenteeism Scale, the Work Limitations Questionnaire, the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and a demographic questionnaire on nursing professionals' working conditions and health were used. Bivariate and multivariate analyzes were performed, respecting a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: presenteeism was found in 43.8% of professionals and significant associations with CLT work (p=0.002), workplace - Intensive Care Units (p=0.008), physical exercise twice a week (p=0.008), presence of musculoskeletal symptoms, with low back pain being representative (p=0.001). The productivity loss was 8.8. CONCLUSIONS: the study confirms a high rate of presenteeism among nursing workers.

Association of salivary alpha-amylase with anxiety and stress in nursing professionals.

OBJECTIVE: to assess if changes in salivary alpha-amylase activity are associated with anxiety and stress among hospital nursing professionals and whether anxiety and stress are associated with sociodemographic, epidemiological, and occupational factors. METHOD: cross-sectional, quantitative study, carried out with 210 nursing professionals from a hospital. For data collection, we used a questionnaire to characterize workers, Beck's Anxiety Inventory, Lipp's Stress Symptoms Inventory for Adults and samples and saliva samples collected in work shifts. The data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the software Statistical Package for the Social Science and GraphPad Prism. RESULTS: most professionals experienced stress and anxiety. The variables age group, number of children, use of medication and workload were associated with anxiety; age group, smoking and medication use were associated with stress. An increase in the salivary alpha-amylase activity was observed in the middle of the work shift. Professionals who had stress and anxiety had significant changes in alpha-amylase in the night shift. CONCLUSION: changes in salivary alpha-amylase were associated with anxiety and stress among nursing professionals, indicating that this enzyme can be a possible biomarker of anxiety and stress in workers.

Cultural adaptation and updating of the Risk assessment and management of exposure of health care workers in the context of covid-19 questionnaire.

OBJECTIVE: to translate and culturally adapt the Risk assessment and management of exposure of health care workers in the context of covid-19 questionnaire to the Brazilian context and to develop and evaluate a sociodemographic and occupational characterization questionnaire to compose the adapted questionnaire. METHOD: five stages were conducted to adapt the Risk assessment and management of exposure of health care workers in the context of covid-19 questionnaire, namely: translation, synthesis of the translations, evaluation by a committee of judges, back translation and pre-test. As for the complementary questionnaire, it was elaborated and evaluated by a committee of judges and a pre-test was carried out. RESULTS: the questionnaires were validated and the pre-test stage was conducted with health workers and students. CONCLUSION: the final version adapted to the Brazilian context was called Questionário de avaliação de risco e gestão da exposição de trabalhadores e estudantes de saúde no contexto da covid-19 and is available for use, together with the final version of the Sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire: Risk assessment and management of exposure of health care workers and students in the context of covid-19. These questionnaires may assist in mitigating the risks of infection, illness and death of health workers and students due to covid-19.

Self-esteem and consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and other substances in outsourced workers. / Autoestima e o consumo de álcool, de tabaco e de outras substâncias em trabalhadores terceirizados.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate self-esteem, the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and other substances in outsourced workers of a public university. METHOD: a descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional, quantitative study developed with 316 outsourced workers from a municipality in the Southeast of Brazil. Data was collected through a characterization tool, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test. For data analysis, we used descriptive statistics, Pearson's chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, odds ratio and logistic regression. RESULTS: the majority of workers had high self-esteem and some used alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and inhalants. A significant association between gender, age group and work shift with self-esteem; between the risk of developing problems related to alcohol consumption with sex, age group, marital status, religious belief and number of children; between the practice of physical activity and the risk of developing problems related to the consumption of tobacco products was found. CONCLUSION: this study contributes to the increase of knowledge due to the small number of researches involving this subject and to contribute to the nurses to have subsidies to work with this population using strategies to combat the triggers of psychic disorders.

Competence-based performance evaluation in hospital nurses. / Avaliação de desempenho por competências em enfermeiros hospitalares.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the frequencies attributed to the professional competences of hospital nurses, discussing the ones that obtained higher and lower frequencies. METHOD: descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study with 45 nurses of a hospital of high complexity in the interior of São Paulo state. The study used the Competences Evaluation Questionnaire, translated and validated in Brazil, composed of 27 items in five domains: professionalism, communication, management, nursing process and problem solving. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: it was found that 80% of the participants were female and 20% were male. The age ranged between 25 and 63 years, with an average of 40.02 years, and the average length of professional experience was 13.39 years. The competences "Communication with the hospital's administrative staff" and "Participation in scientific research and / or application of results" had the lowest frequencies, while "Commitment to punctuality and workload" and "Commitment to the ethical principles of the profession" were evaluated with the highest frequencies. CONCLUSION: evaluating the performance by competences becomes essential for managers and training centers, since it contributes to the identification of gaps in knowledge, skills and attitudes of professionals, by promoting the elaboration and implementation of strategies for their development.

Utilização da Fotobiomodulação no Tratamento de Intercorrências Mamárias Pós-parto: Revisão Integrativa / Use of Photobiomodulation in the Treatment of Breast Postpartum Intercurrency: Integrative Review / Uso De Fotobiomodulación en El Tratamiento De Mama Intermoneda Después Del Parto: Revisión Integrativa

Objetivo:Analisar as evidências disponíveis na literatura acerca da utilização da fotobiomodulação no tratamento de intercorrências mamárias pós-parto. Método: Revisão integrativa dos manuscritos nas bases de dados National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed), Web of Science, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), EMBASE e Scopus. Foram incluídos artigos originais redigidos em português e inglês, analisados de acordo com o nível de evidência e qualidade metodológica. Resultados: A amostra constituiu-se de cinco artigos. Com base na análise dos resultados, foram elaboradas três categorias temáticas: tipos de fotobiomodulador utilizados nas intercorrências mamárias, efeitos do fotobiomodulador na cicatrização das intercorrências mamárias e efeitos do fotobiomodulador na redução da dor mamilar. Tanto o fotobiomodulador de light-emitting diode (LED) quanto o de laser foram eficazes no tratamento dos traumas mamilares, pois a aplicação proporcionou aceleração do processo cicatricial. A terapia com laser de baixa intensidade foi considerada eficaz para tratar lesões mamilares em lactantes com dor, oferecendo alívio e prolongando o aleitamento materno exclusivo. O protocolo de laser de uma única aplicação não foi eficaz na redução da dor em mulheres com mamilos danificados. Conclusão: Este estudo buscou mitigar as lacunas existentes entre assistência e pesquisa em enfermagem, uma vez que contribui para o cuidado pautado na prática baseada em evidências.

Objective:To analyze the evidence available in the literature about the use of photobiomodulation in the treatment of breast complications in the postpartum. Method: Integrative review of manuscripts in National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed), Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), EMBASE, and Scopus databases. Original articles written in Portuguese and English were included, analyzed according to the level of evidence and methodological quality. Results: The sample consisted of five articles. Based on the analysis of the results, three thematic categories were created: types of photobiomodulator used in breast complications, effects of photobiomodulators on healing of breast complications, and effects of photobiomodulators on reducing nipple pain. Both light-emitting diode (LED) and laser photobiomodulators were effective in the treatment of nipple trauma, as the application accelerated the healing process. Low-intensity laser therapy was found to be effective in treating nipple injuries in nursing mothers with pain, providing relief and prolonging exclusive breastfeeding. The single application laser protocol was not effective in reducing pain in women with damaged nipples. Conclusion: This study is an effort to mitigate existing gaps between nursing assistance and research, as it contributes to care based on evidence-based practice

Work accidents and self-esteem of nursing professional in hospital settings.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the occurrence of work accidents and the self-esteem of nurses in hospitals of a municipality of Minas Gerais. METHOD: descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study developed with 393 nursing professionals from three hospitals of a municipality in southern Minas Gerais. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and a questionnaire to characterize the population and work accidents were used for data collection. Data analysis was performed using Person's chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, Cronbach's alpha, odds ratio and logistic regression. RESULTS: of the professionals studied, 15% had suffered an accident at work and 70.2% presented high self-esteem. Through the analysis, it was observed that smoking, religious belief and an outstanding event in the career were significantly associated with work accidents. In relation to self-esteem, family income, length of time working in the profession and an outstanding event in the career presented significant associations. CONCLUSION: factors such as smoking, religious belief, family income, length of time working in the profession and an outstanding event in the career can cause professionals to have accidents and/or cause changes in self-esteem, which can compromise their physical and mental health and their quality of life and work.
