Blood-borne viruses, includingthe human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B virus, have certain common epidemiological characteristics and these viruses infect millions of people worldwide. This study aimed to determine the job satisfaction and the level of knowledge and practices regarding infectious diseases of employees working as hairdressers and barbers.This descriptive and cross-sectional study comprised 1200 hairdressers and barbers. The study sample comprised 628 people who consented to participate in the study. The mean age of the participants who participated in the study was 28, 13 ± 6. 9 years. The mean job satisfaction score of the participants was 3.85 ± 0.58. The job satisfaction score was found to be higher among those with sufficient knowledge of hepatitis B (p < 0.005). Employees should be provided performance trainings to achieve job satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

A acupuntura representa uma prática complementar de intervenção em saúde que aborda de modo integral e dinâmico o processo saúde-doença no ser humano, podendo ser usada isoladamente ou de forma integrada com outros recursos terapêuticos. Esta investigação consiste em uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada com o objetivo de analisar as evidências científicas acerca do uso de técnicas de acupuntura para o tratamento da lombalgia crônica não específica no Brasil. Para a elaboração da presente revisão integrativa, foram seguidas seis etapas: elaboração da questão norteadora; amostragem; extração dos dados dos estudos primários; avaliação dos estudos primários incluídos na revisão; análise e síntese dos resultados; apresentação da revisão integrativa. A busca nas bases de dados resultou, inicialmente, em 3552 estudos; desse total, nove (0,25%) estudos foram incluídos nesta revisão, atendendo aos critérios de inclusão. Um artigo foi publicado em 2006; um artigo foi publicado em 2015; um artigo foi publicado em 2016; dois artigos foram publicados em 2018 e quatro artigos foram publicados em 2020. Quanto ao tipo de população, um estudo foi realizado com idosos; um, com gestantes; um, com funcionários de uma cadeia pública feminina e seis estudos foram realizados com adultos entre 18 e 80 anos, todos portadores de lombalgia crônica não específica, no Brasil. Quanto ao nível de evidência, cinco estudos (56%) foram classificados no nível de evidências II por representarem estudos clínicos randomizados controlados e quatro estudos (44%) foram provenientes de ensaios clínicos não-randomizados, sendo classificados no nível de evidências III. Observou-se que a maioria dos estudos foram realizados utilizando a técnica de acupuntura sistêmica, seguida pela técnica de eletroacupuntura, acupuntura auricular e ventosaterapia. Os resultados de todos os estudos demonstraram a efetividade das técnicas de acupuntura para o tratamento da lombalgia crônica não específica, indicando melhora da intensidade da dor, da amplitude dos movimentos da região lombar e do quadro emocional geral do paciente, como diminuição de estresse e sintomas de ansiedade e depressão. Apesar da identificação da efetividade da acupuntura para o tratamento da lombalgia crônica não específica, considera-se fundamental a realização de um maior número de estudos clínicos baseados na utilização de protocolos rigorosos e internacionalmente reconhecidos para o uso destas práticas complementares, no intuito de comprovar a eficácia destes métodos de tratamento principalmente para o alívio da dor, na perspectiva da integralidade da saúde


Acupuncture represents a complementary practice of health intervention that comprehensively and dynamically addresses the health-disease process in humans, and can be used alone or in an integrated way with other therapeutic methods. This investigation consists of an integrative literature review, carried out with the aim of analyzing the scientific evidence about the use of acupuncture techniques for the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain in Brazil. For the elaboration of this integrative review, six steps were followed: elaboration of the guiding question; sampling; extraction of data from primary studies; evaluation of the primary studies included in the review; analysis and synthesis of the results; presentation of the integrative review. The search in the databases resulted, initially, in 3552 studies; of this total, nine (0.25%) studies were included in this review, considering the inclusion criteria. One article was published in 2006; one article was published in 2015; one article was published in 2016; two articles were published in 2018 and four articles were published in 2020. As for the type of population, a study was carried out with the elderly; one, with pregnant women; one, with employees of a female public chain and six studies were carried out with adults between 18 and 80 years old, all with chronic non-specific low back pain, in Brazil. Related the level of evidence, five studies (56%) were classified at level of evidence II because they represented randomized controlled clinical trials and four studies (44%) came from non-randomized controlled clinical trials and were classified at level III of evidence. It was observed that most studies were carried out using the systemic acupuncture technique, followed by the electroacupuncture, auricular acupuncture technique and suction therapy. The results of all studies demonstrated the effectiveness of acupuncture techniques for the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain, indicating improvement in pain intensity, range of motion in the lower back and the patient's general emotional condition, such as reduced stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Despite the identification of the effectiveness of acupuncture for the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain, it is considered essential to carry out a greater number of clinical studies based on the use of rigorous and internationally recognized protocols for the use of these complementary practices, in order to prove the effectiveness of these treatment methods mainly for pain relief, from the perspective of comprehensive health

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer las percepciones de las mujeres indígenas jornaleras sobre los riesgos del trabajo relacionados con su salud, a partir de la caracterización que ellas mismas realizaron sobre las exigencias del trabajo agrícola. Se considera el concepto de riesgo del trabajo como un constructo maleable en el cual se relacionan las condiciones de trabajo con las distintas percepciones y vivencias de los actores. A partir de un modelo microestructural se explican y relacionan los riesgos del trabajo con las desigualdades sociales y su impacto en la salud. La metodología fue de corte cualitativo; se emplearon la observación no participante, talleres participativos y entrevistas grupales en los años 2011 y 2012. El grupo que participó en este estudio fue de 60 mujeres indígenas. Entre los resultados destaca que su percepción acerca de los riesgos laborales se va construyendo sobre la base de las prácticas cotidianas en el lugar de trabajo y que gran parte de las actividades laborales que realizan las coloca en situaciones de riesgo.


The objective of this study was to learn the perceptions of indigenous female day laborers regarding health-related risks in the workplace, based on their own characterization of the requirements of agricultural work. The concept of occupational risk is understood as a flexible construct in which work conditions and the different perceptions and lived experiences of social actors are interrelated. A microstructural model is employed to explain the occupational risks and their relationship to social inequalities and impacts in health. The methodology used was qualitative, employing non-participant observation, participatory workshops and group interviews during 2011-2012. Sixty indigenous women participated in the study. Results reveal that their perception regarding occupational risks is constructed from everyday practices in their place of work and that most of their work activities place them in situations of risk.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo apresenta resultados de pesquisa que investigou os efeitos do trabalho sobre a saúde de oficiais de Justiça Federal de Porto Alegre. A demanda partiu do Sindicato dos Trabalhadores da Justiça Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (Sintrajufe-RS), devido ao aumento das queixas relacionadas à saúde desses servidores. Foi utilizado um questionário estruturado, o Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20), para pesquisar a prevalência de distúrbios psiquiátricos menores e a metodologia da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho, com modelo metodológico de pesquisa ação. Os resultados obtidos apontam que o principal problema está relacionado à falta de reconhecimento do trabalho realizado por esses profissionais. Também foram relatadas pelo grupo questões de desrespeito em relação ao exercício de sua atividade e o trabalho solitário. Sugere-se um espaço de discussão/reunião que envolva os trabalhadores, a coordenação e a representação do juiz, com participação de profissionais da Psicologia, caracterizando uma ação permanente.

A structured questionnaire was used, the Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20), in order to survey the prevalence of minor psychiatric disorders and the methodology of Work Psychodynamics, with a methodological model of researchaction. The results obtained point out that the main problem is related to a lack of recognition to the work performed by these professionals. Issues of disrespect with regard to their activity and solitary work were also reported by the group. One suggests a discussion/meeting space involving the workers, the coordination, and the judge's representation, with the participation of Psychology professionals, characterizing a permanent action.
