Abstract(s)
Os Riscos Ocupacionais são um tema pertinente e atual, mas de grande complexidade.
O Bloco Operatório é considerado um serviço de alto risco hospitalar associado a um
conjunto de riscos dos quais podem advir custos extras aquando da ocorrência de
acidentes/incidentes de trabalho. Estes riscos constatam-se na prática corrente dos serviços
de saúde emergindo daí a importância da realização de estudos na área da saúde do
trabalhador que deem visibilidade à implementação de práticas que ofereçam condições
seguras aos profissionais para o desempenho da sua atividade laboral, sem acarretar
despesas extras à instituição hospitalar.
A problemática escolhida para a realização deste estudo descritivo, prende-se com os riscos
no Bloco Operatório e as suas implicações na gestão.
Como estratégia de investigação é realizada uma investigação de campo consistindo na
aplicação de questionários aos colaboradores do Bloco Operatório Central, Unidade de
Cirurgia de Ambulatório Guarda e Unidade de Cirurgia de Ambulatório Seia, serviços que
pertencem à ULS Guarda EPE.
Os resultados obtidos demonstram que a grande maioria dos colaboradores não sofreu
acidentes, que existem enumeras falhas nos processos de notificação de incidentes, pois
estes são diminutos e lacunas relativamente à formação sobre os riscos ocupacionais.
A ocorrência de acidentes que envolvem material físico/mecânico é mais elevada do que a
ocorrência de acidentes envolvendo material biológico. Quanto aos acidentes envolvendo
material químico são em número mais reduzido.
Face aos resultados espera-se apoiar as tomadas de decisão da gestão hospitalar de forma a
aumentar sobretudo a monitorização regular dos acidentes provocados por riscos
hospitalares, proceder ao controlo de procedimentos e sugere-se um maior envolvimento na
prevenção de riscos e na promoção de um ambiente seguro, investindo na formação e na
implementação de um programa de gestão de riscos, como estratégia de diminuição de
custos.
The Occupational Risks are a pertinent and current subject, but of great complexity. The Surgery Room is considered a high hospital risk service associated to a set of risks that may result in extra costs when accidents / work incidents occur. These risks can be seen in the current practice of health services, which is why it is important to carry out studies in the area of worker health that give visibility to the implementation of practices that offer safe conditions for professionals to carry out their work, without incurring expenses to the hospital. The problem chosen for conducting this descriptive study is related to the risks in the Surgery Room and its management implications. As a research strategy, a field investigation is carried out consisting of the application of questionnaires to the staff of the Central Operative Room, Guarda Ambulatory Surgery Unit and Seia Ambulatory Surgery Unit, services belonging to ULS Guarda EPE. The results show that the vast majority of the employees did not suffer accidents, that there are many failures in the incident notification processes, since these are small and gaps with respect to training on occupational risks. The occurrence of accidents involving physical / mechanical material is higher than the occurrence of accidents involving biological material. As for accidents involving chemical material are fewer in number. In view of the results, it is expected to support hospital management decision-making in order to increase, in particular, the regular monitoring of accidents caused by hospital risks, to monitor procedures and suggest a greater involvement in risk prevention and Environment, investing in the formation and implementation of a risk management program, as a cost reduction strategy.
