“…This prevalence reflects a trend in the profession due to sociohistorical factors related to the performance of activities involving caring for others. Similar results were found in other studies conducted in Brazil (Lima et al, 2013;Porto et al, 2013;Machado et al, 2018;Magalhães et al, 2014;Silva, Schmidt, Noal, Signor, & Gomez, 2016;Siqueira et al, 2015).…”

“…The health system has come late to the issues of workload, obligations, and risks to which workers are exposed (Araújo, 2015). Nurses work long hours, have poor sleep quality and lack of rest, and work shifts on weekends and extra hours, which compromises the recovery of their physical-motor and cognitive function due to, for example, changes in the speed/ precision relationship in routine procedures and the decline in memory and attention (Machado et al, 2018). These changes are harmful to human health because continuous circadian rhythm imbalances lead to gastrointestinal, psychological (e.g., stress), and metabolic (e.g., obesity and chronic diseases) alterations.…”

Methods: This is a descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, performed with nursing professionals from Samu service of a city of Pernambuco. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Lipp's Stress Symptom Inventory were used. Results: The participants presenting stress (24.6%) were classified in the phases: resistance (19.7%), exhaustion (4.4%) and near exhaustion (0.5%). It was also observed an association of stress level with the following factors: gender, sleep quality, professional autonomy restriction, emotional exhaustion with work performed and work in inadequate or unhealthy physical facilities.

Aim: Operating rooms and intensive care units are stressful working environments, therefore mood disorders suchas anxiety and depression ratio are frequent in workers. Additionally increased frequency of vitamin D insufficiency in health workers is demonstrated in other studies. We examined if there is a relationship between vitamin D levels and levels of anxiety-depression in our volunteers working in our operating rooms and intensive care units. Material and Method: The study is carried out over 96 volunteers working in our hospital's operating room and intensive care units. Attendants were asked to answer the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire which was validated in Turkey for assessment of anxiety and depression status of participants and containing demographic data. Although vitamin D levels were studied. Results: The average vitamin D levels of attendants was 19.43 ± 7.95. Mean vitamin D levels of intensive care unit workers (16.98 ± 1.04) were significantly lower than of operating room workers (20.90 ± 1.10). The average of HADS-A of workers was 7.43 ± 3.31 and HADS-D average was 5.58 ± 3.32. Improvement in HADS-D scores with aging (senescence) and significantly positive relationship in between HADS-A and HADS-D was found in our study. Also, as vitamin D levels decreasing, increasing in HADS-A and HADS-D scores were deserved and negative relationship between 2,5 %-5.4 % is identified. Discussion: Our study shows that vitamin D deficiency negatively affects anxiety and depression levels in the personnel working at a closed environment like operating rooms and intensive care units.
