ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: to assess how nurses perceive autonomy, control over the environment, the professional relationship between nurses and physicians and the organizational support and correlate them with burnout, satisfaction at work, quality of work and the intention to quit work in primary healthcare. METHOD: cross-sectional and correlation study, using a sample of 198 nurses. The tools used were the Nursing Work Index Revised, Maslach Burnout Inventory and a form to characterize the nurses. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics were applied and Spearman's correlation coefficient was used. RESULTS: the nurses assessed that the environment is partially favorable for: autonomy, professional relationship and organizational support and that the control over this environment is limited. Significant correlations were evidenced between the Nursing Work Index Revised, Maslach Burnout Inventory and the variables: satisfaction at work, quality of care and the intent to quit the job. CONCLUSION: the nurses' perceptions regarding the environment of practice are correlated with burnout, satisfaction at work, quality of care and the intent to quit the job. This study provides support for the restructuring of work processes in the primary health care environment and for communication among the health service management, human resources and occupational health areas. .
OBJETIVOS: avaliar percepções dos enfermeiros sobre autonomia, controle sobre o ambiente, relação profissional entre enfermeiro e médico e suporte organizacional e correlacioná-las com Burnout, satisfação no trabalho, qualidade do cuidado e intenção de deixar o trabalho, na atenção básica. MÉTODO: estudo transversal e correlacional, com amostra de 198 enfermeiros. Foram utilizados o Nursing Work Index Revised, o Inventário de Burnout de Maslach e uma ficha de caracterização do enfermeiro. Para análise dos dados, foi realizada estatística descritiva e utilizado o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. RESULTADOS: os enfermeiros avaliaram que o ambiente é parcialmente favorável para: autonomia, relação profissional e suporte organizacional e que há pouco controle sobre o mesmo. Evidenciaram-se correlações significativas entre o Nursing Work Index Revised, o Inventário de Burnout de Maslach e as variáveis: satisfação no trabalho, qualidade de cuidado e intenção de deixar o trabalho. CONCLUSÃO: percepções dos enfermeiros acerca do ambiente da prática correlacionam-se com Burnout, satisfação no trabalho, qualidade do cuidado e intenção de deixar o trabalho. Este estudo fornece subsídios para reestruturação de processos de trabalho no ambiente da atenção básica e para comunicação entre as áreas de gestão de serviços de saúde, recursos humanos e saúde do trabalhador. .

The effect of storage conditions on the stability of albendazole and oxytetracycline veterinary products marketed in Sudan was evaluated. Stability of Albendazole suspension and Oxytetracycline injectable solution has been investigated under two different storage conditions, according to the ICH guidelines for the drug stability testing. The change in color [using visual inspection], pH value [using pH meter] and the degradation process by an HPLC method, was monitored at different time points. Investigated drugs were stored in two different stores. The first one [A] is equipped with controlled temperature and humidity control systems. The second one [B] was a veterinary pharmacy selected randomly from East Nile locality. The temperature and humidity in the stores A and B were monitored and recorded daily using hygrometer for I year. At the beginning of the study all products were proved to be compatible with the recommendations of the manufacturers. There was no change in the color of albendazole during the nine months at both stores. The pH values in the first store expressed noticeable reduction, although it is still within the recommended range. Following nine months storage the drug content of albendazole was reduced below the recommended level, in the second store [B], there was no change in the color of both albendazole products tested. There was considerable change in pH value during the nine months storage, but still it is within the recommended level. The active pharmaceutical ingredient concentration [assay%], of albendazole fell below the recommended level [USP] following storage for nine months, In the first store [A], the two oxytetracycline products expressed no change in color and there was slight reduction in pH level [but still within the recommended level] within the six months storage period. The experiment was terminated just after six months due to the reduction of the active ingredient concentration [assay%] below the recommended level. In the second store [B], there is only change in the color in one of the products following six months storage. pH level also here expressed moderate reduction, but still in the recommended range. The concentration [assay%], of oxytetracycline expressed prominent reduction following storage for six months. The obtained results are of interest for stability studies and/or quality control purposes of Albendazole and Oxytetracycline commercial products. Here we could conclude that, the two veterinary drugs evaluated in this study [albendazole and oxytetracycline] proved to be unstable under environmental conditions in veterinary pharmacies in Khartoum state, Sudan
