[Psychiatric nursing work and workers' health problems].

This study, based on social determination and the systematization by Laurell and Noriega, aims to understand the health-disease process experienced by nursing workers at a psychiatric hospital, with a view to identifying the burdens nursing workers at a psychiatric hospital are exposed to; understanding the exhaustive processes they experience and analyzing the coping strategies indicated as processes that increase quality of life at work. Data were collected through a focal group with 6 participants. Results showed that the object of work, i.e. the psychiatric patient, is seen as socially excluded. With regard to the work load, workers are exposed to all kinds of burdens, but the work load is intensified by the mental burden. Exhaustion is present in physical as well as mental terms. Workers present great mental exhaustion, due to the work conditions experienced or not, specifically because of living with the object of work.

[Job-related accidents with chemical substances among nursing workers].

This study aimed at analyzing job-related accidents with chemical substances among nursing workers. The study was performed at the University of São Paulo (USP) Hospital. In order to collect data, a form was used to survey accidents occurred between 1992 and 2001. Data analysis showed that accidents notified at the USP Hospital are presented in such a way not to allow an in-depth questioning of the job-related exposition to chemical substances, given the fact that the hospital environment hosts hundreds of chemical substances that can potentially cause accidents. Although notifications are few, they are rich in terms of content for analysis, which contributes to subsidize valuable and viable prevention proposals.
