The nursing work process might contribute to the development of occupational stress, as it demands considerable attention and responsibility. selleck chemical Workers have resource to strategies to cope with stressors in the workplace. Coping strategies are ways to manage stress and minimize the effects of stressors to preserve the physical and emotional well-being.

To identify through a literature review the strategies to cope with occupational stress adopted by hospital nursing professionals.

A literature search was conducted in databases Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) and Nursing Database (BDENF) via Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO).

Twenty-five studies were selected, 14 with quantitative, 9 with qualitative, and 2 with quantitative-qualitative approach. The located coping strategies were categorized according to the Coping with Job Stress (CJS) scale which classifies ways to cope with problems in the workplace under three categories control, escape and symptom management. On these grounds, our literature review identified 4 control, 8 escape and 7 symptom management strategies.

Control strategies were considered efficacious to manage stress.

Although shift work is a part of the physicians’ routine, there is controversy on the length of shifts and adequate rest for safe professional practice. If on the one hand long working hours might have negative impact on patient safety by interfering with the psychological and physical functioning of physicians, on the other shorter working hours might impair the safety of patients due to interference with the continuity of care.

To analyze the impact of restrictions to physicians’ working hours on patient safety.

Integrative literature review in which we surveyed studies on restriction to physicians’ working time and patient safety included in databases National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) until May 2018. Thirty-five studies which met the inclusion criteria were included.

Patient safety outcomes analyzed in the included studies were mortality, adverse events, continuity of care, in-hospital complications, readmission rate and length of stay at hospital. Restriction to working time was associated with variable impact on patient safety indicators, but often did not modify their performance.

Restrictions to physicians’ working time did not always improved patient safety indicators. Focusing on interventions which only seek to limit the workload of physicians might be insufficient to bring consistent improvement to patient care.

The integration of occupational risk management initiatives and health promotion and well-being in the workplace poses a challenge to organizations from different sectors.

Cross-cultural adaptation of the

(DCWS) to the Brazilian Portuguese language.

The process of cross-cultural adaptation of the

to the Brazilian Portuguese language evolved along six steps translation, reconciliation, back-translation, revision by internal expert committee, revision by expert panel (pretest) and final revision.

The stringent protocols adopted in the present study resulted in a satisfactory and adequate instrument to analyze programs which target workers’ health, safety and well-being at organizations operating in Brazil.

The Brazilian version of DCWS, entitled

(QDBC) represents an advance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of integrated actions for health promotion and workers’ well-being in different work environments.

Accurate knowledge of the prevalence and profile of sickness absenteeism enables direct analysis of work environments and the health-disease process.

To establish the prevalence and profile of sick leaves granted to Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ) employees from 2012 through 2016.

Cross-sectional study with analysis of variables sex, age range, age at onset of sick leave, job position, FIOCRUZ unit, leave type, ICD code, leave duration, number of leave extensions, and outcomes; p=0.05 and 95% confidence interval were considered in all the analyses.

Work accidents accounted for 2.30% of sick leaves; the absenteeism rate was 2.89%. Musculoskeletal diseases (21.2%), mental and behavioral disorders (13.1%) and consequences of external causes (11.3%) were the main reasons for sick leave. Mental and behavioral disorders exhibited the longest median leave duration (30 days). The odds of requiring a sick leave were highest among women (OR=4.08), employees with technical positions (OR=2.86), aged 25 to 34 years old (OR=2.68) or allocated to production units (OR=176.30) and hospitals (OR=34.05).

We corroborate the relevance of accurate knowledge of aspects related to absenteeism for the planning of strategies to promote the functional capacity of workers, and reduce its consequences on the health-work-disease relationship.

Butchers are exposed to biological hazards as a function of their continuous handling of meat containing blood, fat and fluids. Biological hazards include contamination with viruses, such as the papillomavirus (HPV), especially HPV type 7, which is associated with the so-called “butcher’s wart.”

To investigate wart-like lesions among meat handlers.

Cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at a supermarket in São Paulo in 2017. Twenty-four employees allocated to the meat handling section were interviewed and subjected to skin visual examination; lesions were photographed.

Most participants were male (87.5%) and half of them (50.0%) were within age range 31 to 40 years old. Only one employee had started working in this section less than 2 years earlier. Wart-like lesions or scars with black dots on their center were found on the hands of 11 butchers (45.8%).

Almost half of the participants had history of hand warts. Most of the participants with lesions were male, aged up to 40, right-handed and had worked as meat handlers for 2 years at least.
