OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar um levantamento de aspectos pessoais, ocupacionais e de sintomas músculo-esqueléticos percebidos por médicos ultra-sonografistas. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Participaram deste estudo 41 médicos ultra-sonografistas que responderam a uma entrevista e a um questionário relacionado a aspectos organizacionais e à percepção de sintomas. Utilizaram-se, para a análise estatística dos resultados, os coeficientes de variação e de Spearman, e o teste t de Student. Análise de regressão logística foi utilizada para identificar a contribuição de algumas variáveis na determinação do desconforto. RESULTADOS: Os resultados mostraram alta taxa de desconforto músculo-esquelético relacionado ao trabalho (85%). Entre os sintomáticos, a prevalência de dor foi de 50% nos membros superiores, seguido da coluna vertebral (39%). Foram identificados vários aspectos de risco presentes nesta atividade profissional, tais como: altas cargas diárias de trabalho influenciando na presença da dor, alta demanda cognitiva, estresse freqüentemente presente na rotina dos ultra-sonografistas, entre outros. O teste de regressão demonstrou alta probabilidade de ocorrência de lesões quando o conjunto de variáveis analisadas agia concomitantemente (r = 0,97). CONCLUSÃO: De maneira geral, os resultados indicam que as atividades dos ultra-sonografistas podem ser consideradas como de risco para o sistema músculo-esquelético.
Being ergonomics a scientific discipline based on knowledge of several areas, it is important to use education methodologies that promote critical thinking and reflective during the educational process. The article discusses the importance of interdisciplinarity in undergraduate courses in health care in particular in disciplines that address the ergonomics issue. The aspects of the introduction of new education methodologies, as well as case studies in undergraduate courses in Brazil, are discussed in this study. Based on the literature review conducted, some proposals for action in the interdisciplinary teaching of ergonomics in Physiotherapy courses are presented.
The education in Brazil is still strongly based on traditional teaching methods that reinforce a passive attitude of the student. Despite the educational guidelines indicate the need for more liberating and interdisciplinary methodologies, there are few actions for change. Within this context, interdisciplinary appears as an important tool to help the creation of a new thinking in education, proposing the connection between the parts of an area of knowledge. In this way leading the student to develop a more critical and reflective thinking about the reality of the community where he lives. Being understood ergonomics as a scientific discipline that looks for the interactions among humans and other elements of a system in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance, interdisciplinary has become essential in this process. The aim of this study was to discuss the educational foundations of interdisciplinarity and their applicability in the teaching of ergonomics in the context of Brazil.
