Purpose: to assess the noise level in different environments of a public hospital and to analyze its effects on employees from reporting complaints. Methods: a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectioned study. To survey data, we used a Minipa® decibelimeter adjusted in the range 40-130 decibels positioned in different hospital departments in different shifts for a week to evaluate noise levels and an adapted questionnaire that was applied to employees. Results: the level of noise introduced minimum of 52.5 decibels in the Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and a maximum of 85 decibels in the women's ward with a significant difference between the different days of the week during the same turn. The same occurred in the emergency room, but did not show significance in other sectors. Employees feel discomfort to loud sounds, 74.4%, and 35.5% feel sick after hours due to stress caused by noise that is produced by multiple devices combined with the sounds of alarms, works, visits and schedules conversation between the hospital staff. Conclusion:noise levels are above the recommended levels in different sectors and professionals manifest discomfort and tinnitus before and after their exposure.
Rev. APS. 2018; out./dez.; 21 (4) Relato de Experiência Rev. APS. 2018; out./dez.; 21 (4): 757 -765 RESUMO Introdução: Considerando a persistente iniquidade nas práticas preventivas, surge a Educação Popular em Saúde (EPS), construída, a partir de metodologias pedagógicas dialógicas, democráticas e inclusivas, dentre as quais se destaca a de Paulo Freire. Este trabalho relata a experiência de discentes do Curso de Medicina em uma intervenção do PET-Saúde/GraduaSUS numa Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), que teve dois focos: um voltado aos profissionais da ESF, introduzindo-os à metodologia de Freire, e outro direcionado aos usuários da ESF, orientando-os, por meio de grupos de autocuidado acerca de temas em saúde. Todas as ações foram realizadas nos moldes dos Círculos de Cultura. Houve boa aceitação por parte de profissionais e comunidade. As potencialidades da intervenção incluíram, principalmente, a imersão da ESF e da comunidade num novo modelo de EPS e o aprendizado teórico-prático dos discentes de medicina sobre ações de educação em saúde. Para a ESF, essas atividades propiciaram maior proximidade entre a equipe e a comunidade, além de melhor interação entre os profissionais e, para os usuários, a experiência de participação em grupos de autocuidado. Aos acadêmicos, a possibilidade de vivenciar a integração ensinoserviço-comunidade permitiu uma nova visão sobre a participação do médico na atenção básica. 758 Rev.

ABSTRACT Considering the persistent inequity in preventive practices, the Health Popular Education (EPS) arose built from dialogical, democratic and inclusive pedagogical methodologies, among which Paulo Freire stands out. This work describes the experience of medical students in a PET-Saúde/GraduaSUS intervention in a Family Health Strategy (ESF). The intervention had two focuses: one focused on the ESF health professionals, introducing them to Freire's methodology, and another focused on the ESF patients, instructing them in self-care groups. All actions were made based on Freire's Cultural Circles. There was a good acceptance both by professionals and the community. The intervention potentialities included, mainly, the immersion of the ESF team and community in a new model of EPS and the theoretical-practical learning by medical students about health education actions.For the ESF, these activities allowed greater proximity between the team and the community, other than better interaction among the professionals and, for the community, the experience of participating in self-care groups. For the academics, the experience of the teaching-service-community integration allowed a new vision of the physician in the basic healthcare setting.
