Doenças crônicas não transmissíveis em profissionais de enfermagem de um hospital filantrópico no Sul do Brasil*

“…1 Only the study conducted by Magalhães et al (2014) 17 found a lower prevalence rate, 17.5%, in a sample of nurses in Fortaleza, Ceará state. DM prevalence was also lower than that found in the majority of studies undertaken in Brazil (Fortaleza, CE; Porto Alegre, RS; and Alfenas, MG), between 2008 and 2015, 1,10,17,18 when prevalence was identified as being between 7.9% 17 and 24.6%. 1 Studies with nursing professionals have identified factors favoring the onset of diseases: excess work, difficulty in drawing the line between roles and functions, problems in interpersonal relationships, emotional burden, inadequate resources, lack of decision-making authority and even lack of recognition of performance at work.…”

“…According to other studies, antihypertensive drugs are amongst the medication most taken by nursing professionals. 10,13 With regard to non-hypertensive individuals in our study, some had high blood pressure levels. However, two blood pressure measurements taken on the same day with a short interval of time between them, do not characterize diagnosis.…”

“…The majority of the nursing professionals assessed were female, a fact also found in other studies. 10,11 Feminization is a characteristic found among health workers, with more than 80.0% of employees being women. 12 The majority of respondents reported not consuming alcoholic beverages or using tobacco.…”

“…A possible justification for this finding would be the fact of them, as health professionals, being aware of the harm caused and consequently avoiding the use of these substances. 10 Health professionals are seen as health educators and habits such as drinking and smoking may not be in keeping with the ethics and public image of these professions. 13 On the other hand, we found that the majority of professionals who denied having the habit of drinking and smoking did not do physical exercise.…”

“…10,14 High NCD prevalence rates have been described among nursing professionals, arising from long and exhausting working hours, restricting their availability to enjoy leisure time, do physical exercise, get sufficient rest and have a healthy diet. 3 Despite a fifth of the sample having hypertension, this proportion is below that found in the literature, 1,10,15 where it ranged between 26.0 16 and 41.3%. 1 Only the study conducted by Magalhães et al (2014) 17 found a lower prevalence rate, 17.5%, in a sample of nurses in Fortaleza, Ceará state.…”
