Dor lombar inespecífica e sua relação com o processo de trabalho de enfermagem

Abstract

Objectiveto relate nonspecific low back pain within the nursing work context with their workloads, attrition processes and the risks of illness.Methoda cross-sectional study with 301 workers from a general hospital in the south of the country. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and the Work Context Assessment Scale composed of three dimensions were used: working conditions, work organization and socio-professional relations. The association of variables with low back pain was tested using bivariate and multivariate analyzes. The measure of association used was the Odds Ratio and its respective intervals with 95% confidence. The data collected were discussed under the theoretical framework of the work process within the marxist conception and the theory of social determination of the health-disease process.Resultsthere was a statistically significant association between the dimensions of work organization and working conditions with low back pain and they obtained a critical classification meaning moderate risks to the professional illness.Conclusionthe study allowed a better understanding of the nursing work process and its relation with nonspecific low back pain and signaled that changes in the organization and working conditions should occur in order to reduce the risks of nursing workers’ illness.

Relationship between Musculoskeletal Disorders and Work Performance of Nursing Staff: A Comparison of Hospital Nursing Departments

“…Most MSDs were observed in the neck, shoulders, and lower back or waist of the nursing staff, and the most common type of pain induced by MSDs was soreness, followed by numbness—these findings are consistent with other studies in terms of body parts and symptoms [ 13 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Regardless of department, the majority of the nursing staff experienced varying levels of MSD-induced impact on their work and life, which concurs with the findings of relevant studies [ 35 , 39 ], as well as more recent surveys in Brazil [ 40 ] and the Czech Republic [ 41 ], and a large-scale survey in China [ 42 ]. As a possible predisposing factor, many nursing professionals were found to do inadequate exercise and to have pre-existing musculoskeletal problems in the lower back and neck even before they entered the workforce [ 43 ].…”

Efeitos da mobilização do tipo volante pélvico na lombalgia inespecífica

“…As articulações sacroilíaca e lombar são acometidas por diversos fatores anatômicos e mecânicos que compõem a estabilidade e mobilidade funcional do indivíduo, havendo uma disfunção desencadeia-se uma cascata de fatores que vão interferir na integralidade biomecânica da coluna vertebral. Uma das principais síndromes dolorosas da coluna vertebral é a dor lombar inespecífica que não leva a incapacidade para realização das atividades de vida diária, no entanto, apresenta repercussões limitantes de maneira temporária ou a longo prazo Development, v. 9, n. 12, e32591211184, 2020 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v9i12.11184 tornando-se assim permanente (Gabaldo, 2016;Cargnin, Schneider, Vargas & Machado, 2019). Ferreira et al (2011), realizaram um estudo na qual verificaram a prevalência da dor lombar no Brasil, cerca de 40% da população avaliada apresentavam dor lombar e 63,1% dor nas costas de forma geral; a prevalência da dor lombar em mulheres na cidade de são Paulo foi de 50,2% (19) .…”

“…antiergônomicos, tanto no trabalho quanto em casa; antropométricos; posturas estáticas frequentes e fixas no período de realização de suas atividades; e, vícios posturais. Posturas inadequadas geram choques biomecânicos constantes na articulação levando a sobrecarga funcional tanto da coluna lombar quando das estruturas a ela vinculadas, principalmente o ilíaco e o sacro, ocasionando desequilíbrio articular e ligamentar, irregularidades mecânicoposturais, fadiga, desconforto, redução da mobilidade e dor (Barros, Ângelo, & Uchôa, 2011;Alves, Lima, & Guimarães, 2014;Cargnin, Schneider, Vargas, & Machado, 2019).…”

Relationship between workloads and presenteeism among nursing workers

“…In the health area, working conditions in which assistance is developed, characteristics related to the environment and nursing work activities expose workers to different workloads (1) . The definition of workloads comprises the elements of the work environment itself, which, through their interaction with workers, are capable of generating physical and psychological strain to their health (2) .…”
