“…Biological analyses identify the presence of alcohol and other substances only if they have been used hours or a few days prior to sample collection 47. Therefore, although biological analyses are more specific, they tend to underestimate the intake prevalence.…”

The aim of this study was to summarise the scientific evidence on the prevalence of psychoactive substance use and on the factors associated with their intake among truck drivers. A systematic review was performed in the databases PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences, and Cochrane and 36 cross-sectional studies were identified with quantitative results about the use of psychoactive substances by truck drivers. Out of these, 28 were carried out in countries with large land areas and 23 obtained their information through self-reporting. The most frequently studied substances were alcohol (n=25), amphetamines (n=17), marijuana (n=16) and cocaine (n=13). The prevalence of the use of these substances greatly varied: alcohol (0.1–91.0%); amphetamines (0.2–82.5%), marijuana (0.2–29.9%), cocaine (0.1–8.3%). The frequency of substance use was lower in studies that investigated the presence of these substances in biological samples than in those based on self-reported use. In 12 studies that evaluated factors associated with the intake of psychoactive substances, the following stood out: younger age, higher income, longer trips, alcohol consumption, driving in the night shift, travelling interstate routes, long or short sleep, fewer hours of rest, little experience of the driver, connection with small and medium sized companies, income below levels determined by labour agreements, productivity-based earnings and prior involvement in accidents. The frequency of psychoactive substance use by truck drivers seems to be high, although that greatly varies according to the type of substance and the method of collecting the information. The use of these substances was mainly associated with indicators of poor working conditions.

“…Papers in this category work on alcohol, marijuana, stimulants, opiates and so forth as risk factors in the driving of vehicles, causing psychophysical and neuromotor changes in the drivers, compromising the coordination, the integrity of the reflexes and the peripheral vision; modifying the perception of speed, the reaction time, the ability to concentrate, vigilance and alertness; causing sedation, drowsiness and indifference to external stimuli; and compromising, also, the maintenance of self-criticism 16,17 .…”

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar principais características da mortalidade por ATT no Brasil, 1996-2015, com foco na faixa de 10-29 anos. Estudo com 2 etapas articuladas: (i) revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema violência no trânsito no Brasil; (ii) estudo da mortalidade por ATT no SIM. A primeira situa o estado da arte da produção científica sobre o tema e produz o referencial teórico para a análise da segunda. No período, morreram por ATT cerca de 39.000 pessoas/ano, das quais cerca de 13.200 adolescentes e jovens. Para atingir o ODS 3.6, o país deve reduzir a mortalidade para algo em torno de 19.500/ano e, entre adolescentes e jovens, para 6.500/ano. Com a instituição do CTB houve queda na taxa de mortalidade por ATT entre 1997 e 2000. A taxa aumentou na década posterior. O foco nos adolescentes e jovens ajuda a compreender: no período pós CTB e Lei Seca, motociclistas do sexo masculino, pretos e pardos tornaram-se as principais vítimas. A literatura levantada propicia a análise dos dados e demonstra que a redução passa por uma discussão articulada que envolve políticas de saúde do trabalhador, gênero, emprego, mobilidade urbana e propaganda. Em termos de ODS isto significa que atingir o ODS 3.6 é um processo que envolve a interação com políticas que visem outros ODS.

“…This is a complicating factor for proper care of patients in pain. The association between drug use and accidents resulting from external causes is known (2) . Because of pain resulting from injuries and traumas, these patients will receive analgesics, often opioids, and the nursing team has great responsibility in the identification of pain and in administration of analgesics (opioids or not) at fixed times and in a 'if necessary' regime.…”

Objective: To identify the prevalence of patients suspected of drug use according to the nursing professionals' judgement, and compare the behavior of these professionals in opioid administration when there is or there is no suspicion that patient is a drug user. Method: A cross-sectional study with 507 patients and 199 nursing professionals responsible for administering drugs to these patients. The Chi-Square test, Fisher's Exact and a signifi cance level of 5% were used for the analyzes. Results: The prevalence of suspected patients was 6.7%. The prevalence ratio of administration of opioid analgesics 'if necessary' is twice higher among patients suspected of drug use compared to patients not suspected of drug use (p = 0.037). Conclusion: The prevalence of patients suspected of drug use was similar to that of studies performed in emergency departments. Patients suspected of drug use receive more opioids than patients not suspected of drug use. Descriptors: Opioid Analgesics; Drug Abuse; Nursing; Pain; Patients. RESUMO Objetivo: Identifi car a prevalência de pacientes com suspeita de uso de drogas conforme opinião de profi ssionais de enfermagem e comparar a conduta desses profi ssionais na administração de opioides quando há ou não suspeita de que o paciente seja usuário de drogas. Método: Estudo transversal com 507 pacientes e 199 profi ssionais de enfermagem responsáveis pela administração de medicamentos a esses pacientes. Para as análises foram utilizados os testes de Qui-Quadrado, Exato de Fisher e um nível de signifi cância de 5%. Resultados: A prevalência de pacientes suspeitos foi 6,7%. A razão de prevalência de administração de analgésicos opioides "se necessário" é duas vezes maior entre os pacientes suspeitos em relação aos não suspeitos (p=0,037). Conclusão: A prevalência de suspeitos foi semelhante à de estudos realizados em departamentos de emergência. Os suspeitos de serem usuários de drogas recebem mais opioides do que os não suspeitos.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Identifi car la prevalencia de pacientes con sospecha de uso de drogas de acuerdo con la opinión de los profesionales de enfermería y comparar el comportamiento de estos profesionales en la administración de opioides cuando hay o no hay sospecha de que el paciente sea un consumidor de drogas. Método: Estudio transversal con 507 pacientes y 199 enfermeras responsables de la administración de medicamentos a estos pacientes. Para el análisis se utilizó la prueba de Chi-cuadrado, la prueba exacta de Fisher y un nivel de signifi cación del 5%. Resultados: La prevalencia de pacientes con sospecha de uso de drogas fue del 6,7%. La razón de prevalencia de la administración de analgésicos opioides 'si es necesario' es dos veces mayor entre los pacientes con sospecha de uso de drogas en comparación a las personas sin sospecha de uso de drogas (p = 0,037). Conclusión: La prevalencia de los sospechosos fue similar a los estudios llevados a cabo en los servicios de urgenc...
