Condições de trabalho de profissionais da enfermagem: avaliação baseada no modelo demanda-controle

Abstract

OBJETIVO: Descrever a relação entre os indicadores de demandas psicológicas e de controle sobre o trabalho entre trabalhadores de enfermagem, segundo o Modelo Demanda-Controle. MÉTODOS: Estudo seccional, com 491 trabalhadores de enfermagem de um hospital universitário público do Rio Grande do Sul, no período de março a dezembro de 2006. Utilizou-se a versão brasileira do "Job Content Questionnaire", para avaliação das dimensões psicossociais do trabalho (demanda psicológica e controle). RESULTADO: Obteve-se 30% dos trabalhadores de enfermagem classificados no grupo trabalho passivo (baixa demanda e baixo controle), 29% no grupo trabalho ativo (alta demanda e alto controle), 21% no grupo alta exigência (alta demanda e baixo controle) e 20% no grupo baixa exigência (baixa demanda e alto controle). A alta exigência foi maior entre técnicos e auxiliares de enfermagem. CONCLUSÃO: Medidas que visem a reduzir as demandas psicológicas provenientes do trabalho e que permitam maior flexibilidade e autonomia ao trabalhador são necessárias.
