Abstract(s)
A COVID-19 foi declarada, pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, como pandemia no dia 11 de março de 2020. Este vírus propagou-se à escala global, inclusivamente em Portugal, contribuindo para aumentar os desafios existentes no quotidiano dos profissionais de saúde. A presente investigação tem como objetivo analisar a perceção das condições de trabalho e os níveis de stress ocupacional experienciados pelos profissionais de saúde nos contextos hospitalares público e privado durante a pandemia. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo e transversal, composto por um total de 97 profissionais de saúde do setor público e privado. Os resultados revelaram que perceções mais positivas de condições de trabalho e os níveis de stress ocupacional não diferem mediante o setor de atuação. Adicionalmente, aferiu-se que as condições físicas e materiais de trabalho são preditoras de stress ocupacional, ao invés da sobrecarga horária. Este estudo demonstra que é importante que as instituições de saúde, sejam elas públicas ou privadas, disponibilizem as melhores condições de trabalho físicas e materiais possíveis, sobretudo face às exigências de um contexto pandémico.
In March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. This virus, spread in a global scale, namely Portugal, contributing decisively to raise the challenges existent in the everyday life of healthcare workers. The present study aimed to analyze the perception of work conditions and levels of occupational stress experienced by healthcare workers in the public and private sectors during the pandemic. It’s a quantitative and transversal study contrived by 97 healthcare workers, associated with the public and private sector. The results revealed that the perceptions of better work conditions and levels of occupational stress don´t differ by sector of activity. Additionally, it was concluded that the physical and material work conditions predict occupational stress, instead of the workload. This study demonstrates that it´s important that the health institutions, either private or public, provide the best material and physical work conditions to their healthcare workers, specially under the demands of the pandemic context.
