Excessive daytime sleepiness and the effects of work on the health of nursing workers
Abstract
Objective: To analyze excessive daytime sleepiness and the effects of work on the health of nursing workers working in the Post-Anesthetic Recovery Unit.
Method: A cross-sectional study carried out with 39 nursing workers from a Post-Anesthetic Recovery Unit of a University Hospital. Data collection instruments were the socio-labor characterization questionnaire, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Work-Related Damage Assessment Scale. The data were analyzed with the aid of Predictive Analytics Software, SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), through statistical tests.
Results: Indicate that physical damage presented a higher mean (2.33 ± 1.15), and pain in the body, back and legs predominated, a severe classification, which potentiates suffering at work. As to the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness, 41% of the workers presented. No significant association was identified between excessive daytime sleepiness and the effects of work on the health of nursing workers.
Conclusion: This study may help in the planning of actions with the intention of minimizing the damages related to work and promoting the health of the worker.
