Abstract(s)
Com o aumento da esperança média de vida e o crescente envelhecimento demográfico, a institucionalização das pessoas idosas representa uma evidente problemática para a saúde pública. Os cuidadores formais ou ajudantes de ação direta, são os profissionais responsáveis pelo cuidar nestas instituições. O trabalho destes profissionais é bastante exaustivo, requerendo bastantes exigências tanto a nível físico como psicológico. Considera-se pertinente avaliar os riscos psicossociais, uma vez que são estes os profissionais que cuidam das pessoas idosas de forma a aumentar a sua satisfação profissional no intuito de melhorar a sua saúde e relação com o trabalho, aumentando desta forma a qualidade dos cuidados prestados. A identificação precoce e o tratamento adequado dos riscos psicossociais no trabalho devem ser uma estratégia urgente, dos serviços de saúde pública, de forma a melhorar a saúde dos trabalhadores. O projeto de intervenção comunitária (RPAP) decorreu numa Unidade de Saúde Pública e teve como finalidade prevenir e avaliar os riscos psicossociais das ajudantes de ação direta de uma estrutura residencial para pessoas idosos. Para a execução deste projeto foi utilizada a metodologia do planeamento em saúde de Tavares (1990), percorrendo as várias etapas que o caracterizam. O Modelo da Teoria dos Sistemas de Betty Neumam, foi a linha orientadora e de suporte deste projeto. O diagnóstico de situação permitiu chegar aos diagnósticos de enfermagem, através de uma metodologia quantitativa com a aplicação Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire – COPSOQ II, Versão média. Os dados foram sujeitos a análise estatística através do software informático IBM SPSS Statistics 22. Após análise dos resultados fez-se a priorização dos diagnósticos, foram definidos objetivos e selecionadas as estratégias adequadas. Os resultados da avaliação deste projeto, levam-nos à reflexão sobre a importância da continuidade e monitorização de programas de prevenção e avaliação dos riscos psicossociais nas instituições.
With the increase in the average life expectancy and the growing demographic aging, the institutionalization of the elderly represents a clear problem for public health. Formal caregivers, or direct action helpers, are the professionals responsible for caring in these institutions. The work of these professionals is quite exhausting, requiring many physical and psychological demands. It is important to assess psychosocial risks, since these are the professionals who care for the elderly in order to increase their job satisfaction and improve their health and work relationship, thus increasing the quality of care. The early identification and adequate treatment of psychosocial risks at work should be an urgent strategy of public health services in order to improve the health of workers. The community intervention project (RPAP) was carried out in a Public Health Unit and aimed to prevent and assess the psychosocial risks of the direct action helpers of a residential structure for the elderly. The health planning methodology of Tavares (1990) was used to carry out this project, following the various steps that characterize it. Betty Neumam's Systems Theory Model was the guideline and support for this project. The situation diagnosis led to the nursing diagnoses through a quantitative methodology with the application of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire - COPSOQ II, Medium Version. Data were statistically analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 software. After results analysis, diagnoses were prioritized, objectives were defined, and adequate strategies were selected. The results of the evaluation of this project lead us to reflect on the importance of continuing and monitoring programs for the prevention and evaluation of psychosocial risks in institutions.
