          Abstract

          RESUMO Estudo com objetivo de avaliar a Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT) e o nível de estresse de trabalhadores da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) em uma cidade de tríplice fronteira. Trata-se de pesquisa transversal da qual participaram 120 profissionais da APS, que responderam a questionários sociodemográfico, ocupacional, de hábitos de vida, instrumento de QVT abreviado (QWLQ-Bref) e Escala do Estresse Percebido (PSS 13). Verificou-se associação da QVT e dos níveis de estresse com variáveis sociodemográficas e de estilo de vida com uso do teste t de Student, Anova, Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis. Em seguida, realizou-se regressão linear múltipla. Os resultados mostraram escore médio de QVT dos profissionais de 62,8±10,0 e escore médio de estresse percebido de 24,5±6,0. A variável satisfação com o trabalho se manteve estatisticamente associada à QVT global, com o domínio psicológico e o nível de estresse. A cor da pele e o sexo se associaram aos domínios pessoal e profissional da QVT, respectivamente. Conclui-se que a satisfação com o trabalho é um fator importante na determinação da melhor QVT e na proteção contra o estresse. Esses resultados apontam aspectos a serem considerados pelos serviços de saúde para melhor abordagem à saúde mental do trabalhador.

          ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the Quality of Working Life (QWL) and stress level of professionals of Primary Health Care (PHC) in a city of triple border. This is a cross-sectional study in which 120 professionals of PHC participated, and answered socio-demographic, occupational, lifestyle, abbreviated QWL (QWLQ-Bref) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS 13) questionnaires. It was verified association between QWL and stress levels with sociodemographic and lifestyle variables through the Student’s t-test, Anova, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis. Then, multiple linear regression model was performed. The results showed average professional QWL assessment of 62.8 ± 10.0 and average total perceived stress score of the participants was 24.5±6.0. The variable satisfaction with work remained statistically associated with global QLW, with the psychological domain and the level of stress. Skin color and sex are associated with personal and professional domains, respectively. It is concluded that work satisfaction is an important factor in determining the best QWL and protection against stress. These results point out aspects to be considered by the health services to better approach the worker’s mental health.

            Psychosocial work conditions and quality of life among primary health care employees: a cross sectional study

            Background Workers in Primary Health Care are often exposed to stressful conditions at work. This study investigated the association between adverse psychosocial work conditions and poor quality of life among Primary Health Care workers. Methods This cross-sectional study included all 797 Primary Health Care workers of a medium-sized city, Brazil: doctors, nurses, nursing technicians and nursing assistants, dentists, oral health technicians, and auxiliary oral hygienists, and community health workers. Data were collected by interviews. Quality of life was assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF; general quality of life, as well as the physical, psychological, social and environmental domains were considered, with scores from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate a better quality of life. Poor quality of life was defined by the lowest quartiles of the WHOQOL score distributions for each of the domains. Adverse psychosocial work conditions were investigated by the Effort-Reward Imbalance model. Associations were verified using multiple logistic regression. Results Poor quality of life was observed in 117 (15.4%) workers. Workers with imbalanced effort-reward (high effort/low reward) had an increased probability of general poor quality of life (OR = 1.91; 1.07–3.42), and in the physical (OR = 1.62; 1.02–2.66), and environmental (OR = 2.39; 1.37–4.16) domains; those with low effort/low reward demonstrated a greater probability of poor quality of life in the social domain (OR = 1.82; 1.00–3.30). Workers with overcommitment at work had an increased likelihood of poor quality of life in the physical (OR = 1.55, 1.06–2.26) and environmental (OR = 1.69; 1.08–2.65) domains. These associations were independent of individual characteristics, job characteristics, lifestyle, perception of general health, or psychological and biological functions. Conclusions There is an association between adverse psychosocial work conditions and poor quality of life among Primary Health Care workers.

              Positive practice environments influence job satisfaction of primary health care clinic nursing managers in two South African provinces

              Background Nurses constitute the majority of the health workforce in South Africa and they play a major role in providing primary health care (PHC) services. Job satisfaction influences nurse retention and successful implementation of health system reforms. This study was conducted in light of renewed government commitment to reforms at the PHC level, and to contribute to the development of solutions to the challenges faced by the South African nursing workforce. The objective of the study was to determine overall job satisfaction of PHC clinic nursing managers and the predictors of their job satisfaction in two South African provinces. Methods During 2012, a cross-sectional study was conducted in two South African provinces. Stratified random sampling was used to survey a total of 111 nursing managers working in PHC clinics. These managers completed a pre-tested Measure of Job Satisfaction questionnaire with subscales on personal satisfaction, workload, professional support, training, pay, career prospects and standards of care. Mean scores were used to measure overall job satisfaction and various subscales. Predictors of job satisfaction were determined through multiple logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 108 nursing managers completed the survey representing a 97% response rate. The mean age of respondents was 49 years (SD = 7.9) and the majority of them (92%) were female. Seventy-six percent had a PHC clinical training qualification. Overall mean job satisfaction scores were 142.80 (SD = 24.3) and 143.41 (SD = 25.6) for Gauteng and Free State provinces respectively out of a maximum possible score of 215. Predictors of job satisfaction were: working in a clinic of choice (RRR = 3.10 (95% CI: 1.11 to 8.62, P = 0.030)), being tired at work (RRR = 0.19 (95% CI: 0.08 to 0.50, P = 0.001)) and experience of verbal abuse (RRR = 0.18 (95% CI: 0.06 to 0.55, P = 0.001). Conclusion Allowing nurses greater choice of clinic to work in, the prevention of violence and addressing workloads could improve the practice environment and job satisfaction of PHC clinic nursing managers.
