Resumen
SILVA, Kellen da et al. Excessive daytime sleepiness and the effects of work on the health of nursing workers. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.57, pp.263-301. Epub 16-Mar-2020. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/eglobal.19.1.377381.
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.
