O presente relatório consolida as descobertas e contribuições de um diagnóstico de situação sobre a perceção e práticas de saúde ocupacional entre tatuadores, destacando a importância da intervenção do Enfermeiro Especialista em Saúde Comunitária e Saúde Pública. O estudo foi realizado num Agrupamento de Centros de Saúde do Norte numa Unidade de Saúde Pública, com o qual se pode perceber como as transformações provocadas pela globalização e os avanços tecnológicos influenciam a saúde e a segurança no local de trabalho, com um enfoque particular nas profissões de risco específico como a tatuagem. Para a realização do diagnóstico de saúde optou-se por uma abordagem quantitativa tendo a colheita de dados sido realizada através da aplicação de um formulário, seguindo a metodologia do planeamento em saúde. Foram colhidos dados sobre as condições de trabalho, conhecimentos sobre riscos para a saúde, medidas preventivas coletivas e individuais adotadas por parte dos tatuadores, e o grau de conhecimento sobre saúde ocupacional. Os resultados apontaram para um défice significativo no conhecimento e na execução de práticas de saúde e segurança, revelando que uma proporção considerável dos profissionais não possuía formação específica em saúde ocupacional. Este cenário resulta em práticas preventivas inadequadas e a uma maior exposição a riscos, incluindo doenças associadas a problemas musculoesqueléticos, e de visão, evidenciando a necessidade urgente de intervenções direcionadas. A discussão sublinhou a importância de uma política de saúde integrada que englobe formação e sensibilização dos tatuadores sobre a aúde ocupacional. O papel do Enfermeiro Especialista em Saúde Comunitária e Saúde Pública como promotor de saúde e segurança foi destacado, sugerindo o desenvolvimento de programas educativos e intervenções adaptadas às necessidades deste grupo. A formação especializada poderá empoderar os tatuadores com conhecimentos e práticas para mitigar os riscos para a saúde, promovendo um ambiente de trabalho mais seguro e saudável. Este estudo reforçou a necessidade de uma abordagem proativa em saúde ocupacional para os tatuadores, enfatizando a importância da pesquisa contínua, políticas de saúde inclusivas e programas educacionais específicos. A implementação destas medidas poderá ter um impacto significativo na promoção da saúde, prevenção de doenças ocupacionais e bem-estar geral dos tatuadores, contribuindo para uma comunidade mais informada, protegida e saudável.
This report consolidates the findings and contributions of a situation diagnosis on the perception and practices of occupational health among tattoo artists, highlighting the importance of the intervention of the Nurse Specializing in Community Health and Public Health. The study was carried out in a Grouping of Health Centers in the North of Portugal, in a Public Health Unit, which provided an insight into how the transformations brought about by globalization and technological advances influence health and safety in the workplace, with a particular focus on professions involving specific risks, such as tattooing. To carry out the health diagnosis, a quantitative approach was chosen and data was collected by applying a form, following the methodology of health planning. Data was collected on working conditions, knowledge of health risks, collective and individual preventive measures adopted by tattoo artists, and the degree of knowledge about occupational health. The results pointed to a significant deficit in the knowledge and implementation of health and safety practices, revealing that a considerable proportion of the professionals had no specific training in occupational health. This scenario results in inadequate preventive practices and greater exposure to risks, including diseases associated with musculoskeletal problems and vision, highlighting the urgent need for targeted interventions. The discussion emphasized the importance of an integrated health policy that includes training and raising awareness among tattoo artists about occupational health. The role of the Community Health and Public Health Specialist Nurse as a promoter of health and safety was highlighted, suggesting the development of educational programs and interventions tailored to the needs of this group. Specialized training could empower tattoo artists with knowledge and practices to mitigate health risks, promoting a safer and healthier working environment. This study has reinforced the need for a proactive approach to occupational health for tattoo artists, emphasising the importance of ongoing research, inclusive health policies and specific educational programs. Implementing these measures could have a significant impact on health promotion, the prevention of occupational diseases and the general well-being of tattoo artists, contributing to a more informed, protected, and healthy community.
