Resumo Objetivo Analisar os fatores associados à presença de Distúrbios Psíquicos Menores entre trabalhadores de enfermagem que atuam na pandemia da COVID-19. Métodos Estudo transversal multicêntrico, realizado em quatro instituições hospitalares, no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, com 845 trabalhadores de enfermagem. Utilizou-se um formulário eletrônico composto por questões sociodemográficas, laborais, de condições de saúde e pelo Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20. Aplicaram-se testes de Mann-Whitney, Qui-Quadrado e Regressão de Poisson expressa na Razão de Prevalência (IC 95%). Resultados A prevalência de Distúrbios Psíquicos Menores (49,3%) foi associada ao aumento do consumo de álcool (RP = 1,2; IC95% = 1,1-1,4), não praticar atividade física (RP = 1,5; IC95% = 1,3-1,8), iniciar o uso de medicação na pandemia (RP = 1,5; IC95% = 1,3-1,7), não possuir um turno de trabalho fixo (RP = 1,4; IC95% = 1,1-1,9) e sentir medo frente à exposição ao risco de contaminação (RP = 1,2; IC95% = 1,1-1,3) Conclusão Na atual pandemia, os Distúrbios Psíquicos Menores mostram-se associados ao consumo de bebida alcoólica, falta de atividade física, uso de medicamento, turno de trabalho e medo de contaminar-se.

Abstract Objective To analyze the factors associated with the presence of minor psychiatric disorders among nursing workers working in the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in four hospitals in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, with 845 nursing workers. An electronic form composed of sociodemographic, labor, health conditions and Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 was used. Mann-Whitney, chi-square and Poisson Regression tests, expressed in Prevalence Ratio (95% CI), were applied. Results The prevalence of minor psychiatric disorders (49.3%) was associated with increased alcohol consumption (PR = 1.2; 95% CI = 1.1-1.4), not practicing physical activity (PR = 1.5; 95% CI = 1.3-1.8), starting the use of medication in the pandemic (PR = 1.5; 95% CI = 1.3-1.7), not having a fixed work shift (PR = 1.4; 95% CI = 1.1-1.9) and feeling afraid of exposure to the risk of contamination (PR = 1.2; 95% CI = 1.1-1.3) Conclusion In the current pandemic, minor psychiatric disorders are associated with alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity, use of medication, work shift and fear of contamination.

Trabajo de enfermería en unidades dedicadas y no dedicadas al COVID-19: consecuencias para la salud ocupacional

Objetivo: analizar las consecuencias que tuvo la pandemia en la salud ocupacional de los enfermeros según si se desempeñaban en unidades dedicadas y no dedicadas al COVID-19. Método: estudio multicéntrico, método mixto, estrategia explicativa secuencial. En la primera etapa participaron en total 845 profesionales que respondieron un formulario electrónico que contenía variables sociodemográficas, ocupacionales, sobre la pandemia y la salud y el Self-Reporting Questionnaire. En la segunda etapa, fueron entrevistados 19 profesionales. Los datos cuantitativos fueron sometidos a estadística analítica y los datos cualitativos al análisis de contenido temático, posteriormente, ambos fueron integrados por conexión. Resultados: los impactos de la pandemia en la salud de los profesionales se produjeron tanto en las áreas dedicadas como en las no dedicadas al COVID-19. Sin embargo, la composición de los equipos presentó distintas características entre las áreas, así como también diferentes percepciones de riesgo y exigencias en el trabajo. Conclusión: los profesionales que trabajan en áreas dedicadas y no dedicadas al COVID-19 se enfermaron por igual, pero tuvieron diferente exposición ocupacional debido a las exigencias que presentaba el trabajo en las unidades dedicadas y al miedo al contagio en las unidades no dedicadas.Alternate :Aim:to analyze the consequences that the pandemic had on the occupational health of nurses according to whether they worked in units dedicated or not dedicated to COVID-19.
