No. of bitstreams: 1 MARIO SILVA DE ARAUJO FILHO.pdf: 4508348 bytes, checksum: 0dba086b7b245f1ae7e285985ff11669 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-06-06 / The objective of this study was to evaluate the fatigue levels of nursing professionals at a Hospital Escola de Goiânia, whose specific objectives were to outline the sociodemographic profile, evaluate the fatigue levels associated with the work environment, and compare fatigue levels with variables sociodemographic. Methods; An analytical cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, with 25 nurses and 94 technicians in nursing. Discussion; it was identified that 97.5% of the interviewees are female, most of them between 20 and 35 years old, who have a double working day, and between 1 and 5 years of nursing service, of which 53.1 % presented fatigue. Conclusion; the study suggests the occurrence of fatigue is associated with the stressful situations experienced by the nursing professional in their work practice, as well as the exposure to physical and biological risks, in addition to the long and painful working days. / O estudo teve como objetivo geral avaliar os níveis de fadiga dos profissionais de enfermagem em um Hospital Escola de Goiânia, teve como objetivos específicos traçar o perfil sociodemográfico, avaliar os níveis de fadiga associados ao ambiente de trabalho e comparar os níveis de fadiga com as variáveis sociodemográficas. Métodos; estudo transversal analítico com abordagem quantitativa, tendo como participantes 25 Enfermeiros e 94 Técnicos em enfermagem A coleta de dados foi realizada entre os meses de junho a agosto de 2017 e ocorreu durante todos os turnos, mediante liberação pela chefia de enfermagem do setor e assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. Discussão; identificou-se que 97,5% dos entrevistados são do sexo feminino, em sua maioria com faixa etária entre 20 e 35 anos, que possuem dupla jornada de trabalho, e entre 1 a 5 anos de serviço na enfermagem, sendo que 53,1% apresentaram quadro de fadiga. Conclusão; o estudo sugere a ocorrência de fadiga está associada as situações estressantes vivenciadas pelo profissional de enfermagem em sua prática laboral, bem como a exposição a riscos físicos e biológicos, somados as longas e penosas jornadas de trabalho.

Despite a rise in breast cancer incidence, mortality rates have fallen. This improvement in mortality is due to the success of anti-cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Such treatments, however, are known to be associated with a range of symptoms. A number of studies exploring patients’ chemotherapy-related symptom experiences have shown that patients consistently rate nausea and fatigue highly, not only in relation to severity, but also in relation to the associated distress they experience. The subjective and non-observable nature of both nausea and fatigue complicates their assessment. While a range of assessment tools exists to evaluate patients’ experiences of these two symptoms, there is currently no gold standard assessment tool for assessing either symptom. Moreover, while a range of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions have been developed for both symptoms, further evaluation is often needed to provide the level of evidence required to recommend their implementation in real life clinical environments. The SNA↔P (structured nursing assessment into practice) study arose in response to this clinical situation. The SNA↔P study was a longitudinal study that evaluated the impact of a complex evidence-based intervention, incorporating structured multidimensional symptom assessment and multiple symptom management techniques, on patients’ experiences of nausea and fatigue during a course of chemotherapy for breast cancer. Using complementary quantitative and qualitative research methods not only allowed in-depth understanding of patients’ experiences and patterns of nausea and fatigue during a course of chemotherapy, but also facilitated a rounded evaluation of the intervention, incorporating both statistical elements and those of personal significance. The use of these methods showed that the implementation of the SNA↔P intervention in routine clinical practice has significant potential for improving patients’ symptom experiences during a course of chemotherapy. In so doing, it also highlighted a number of areas in which clinical practice can be influenced, and research conducted, to further improve patients’ symptom experiences.
