View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This cross-sectional study with 1,249 workers from all 49 municipal primary health care centers was conducted in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil, with the objective of investigating the prevalence of poor self-rated health and its association with working conditions and other factors. Multivariate statistical analyses were conducted using Poisson regression. The prevalence of poor self-rated health was 21.86% (95%CI: 19.56%-24.15%). The largest prevalence was found among dental assistants (35.71%), and the lowest among physicians (10.66%). In the adjusted analysis, the outcome was associated with female gender (PR = 1.48; 95%CI: 1.03-2.14), older age (PR = 1.29; 95%CI: 1.05-1.59), higher education (PR = 0.69; 95%CI: 0.55-0.87), more time working at the primary care center (PR = 1.57; 95%CI: 1.29-1.98), higher workload score (PR = 1.67; 95%CI: 1.35-2.05), obesity (PR = 1.74; 95%CI: 1.37-2.21), and often or always experiencing musculoskeletal symptoms (PR = 2.69; 95%CI: 1.90-3.83). A higher workload score remained associated with the outcome, suggesting an association between working conditions and self-rated health.

Os problemas de saúde mental estão entre os mais prevalentes em trabalhadores de saúde. Foram avaliados a prevalência de transtornos psiquiátricos menores e os fatores associados em trabalhadores da atenção primária à saúde. O delineamento foi transversal com base em 240 unidades básicas de saúde de 41 municípios acima de 100 mil habitantes de sete estados das regiões Sul e Nordeste do Brasil. Foram entrevistados 4.749 trabalhadores, e a prevalência de transtornos psiquiátricos menores foi de 16%, sem diferenças estatísticas por região e modelo de atenção. Foi maior em agentes comunitários de saúde e outros trabalhadores de nível médio (18%), menor em outros profissionais de nível superior (10%), ficando médicos (15%) e profissionais de enfermagem (14,6%) em posição intermediária (p < 0,001). As características ocupacionais apresentaram a mais forte associação com a ocorrência de transtornos psiquiátricos menores na análise ajustada, sugerindo que sua redução depende de melhorias nas condições de trabalho na atenção primária à saúde e na gestão do Sistema Único de Saúde.

The literature is replete with evidence about the effects of the work environment on nurses' stress levels, interdisciplinary collaboration, workload, job conflict, job satisfaction, and anticipated turnover. Healthcare leaders have been challenged by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), other professional organizations, and regulatory agencies to develop and sustain healthy work environments that support the professional practice of nursing. Magnet designation, the Beacon award, and other organizational structures and cultures led by authentic and transformational leaders have been the stimulus to ensure that workplaces are both healthy and healthful. The positive effect of healing environments on patient and provider outcomes has caused many healthcare leaders to strive to develop healing attributes within their philosophies of care and organizational cultural initiatives.
