Abstract(s)
Os enfermeiros são dos profissionais de saúde que apresentam maiores problemas a nível músculo-esquelético, bem como taxas elevadas de absentismo associadas a uma condição física fraca e a estados de burnout. Estes profissionais são sujeitos ao longo do seu dia de trabalho a grandes cargas fisiológicas, horários prolongados, permanecendo demasiadas horas seguidas em pé e na mesma posição.
O WorkActive - Programa de Exercício Físico para Enfermeiros - foi desenvolvido pelo Dep. Ciências de Desporto da Universidade da Beira Interior, em colaboração com o Centro Hospitalar da Cova da Beira. O programa consiste numa adaptação do denominado treino intervalado de alta intensidade com inclusão de exercícios funcionais, tendo como objetivo principal fortalecer o aparelho músculo-esquelético, sobretudo a zona abdominal e os membros superiores, e melhorar a capacidade cardiorrespiratória, de forma a aumentar a resistência à fadiga, contribuindo para a motivação e reforço do trabalho de equipa.
Assim, foi realizado um estágio no âmbito do WorkActive durante 9 meses, pretendendo ser uma especialização de natureza académica com aprimoramento de competências profissionais no âmbito da intervenção no Exercício e Saúde. Ao longo da realização do estágio, destaque para as aprendizagens realizadas ao nível do planeamento, estruturação, lecionação e controle do programa de treino. Estas competências, necessárias para o desempenho profissional na área Exercício e Saúde, foram sendo desenvolvidas ao longo das sessões de treino com autonomia, resultando de uma permanente preocupação analítica e reflexiva da experiencia profissional, com vista à melhoria dos processos de comunicação, de prescrição e orientação.
O estágio teve ainda uma componente experimental com o objetivo de desenvolver competências científicas no âmbito da atividade profissional desenvolvida. Foi avaliado o efeito do programa WorkActive na aptidão física e na perceção da dor músculo-esquelética em 5 enfermeiros, após 6 meses de intervenção. Os resultados experimentais obtidos mostraram que houve uma melhoria significativa ao nível da resistência muscular: zona abdominal (p=0,042), membros superiores e tronco (p=0,043), e membros inferiores (p=0,043). Também a capacidade cardiorrespiratória melhorou significativamente (p=0,043), sem haver alterações significativas na composição corporal, embora os valores de IMC fossem mais baixos no final do programa (p=0,043).
Nurses are the health care professionals who present greater musculoskeletal problems, as well as high rates of absenteeism associated with low physical condition and burnout problems. These professionals are subjected throughout their working day to major physiological workload, long shift hours, remaining too many hours standing straight and in the same position. The WorkActive - Exercise Program for Nurses - was developed by the Department of Sport Sciences, University of Beira Interior, in collaboration with the Hospital Centre of Cova da Beira. The program is an adaptation of the high intensity interval training with the inclusion of functional exercises. The main objective is to strengthen the musculoskeletal system, especially the abdominal muscles and upper limbs, and improve cardiorespiratory capacity in order to increase fatigue resistance, contributing to motivation and reinforcement of teamwork. An internship was carried out as part of WorkActive during 9 months. It intended to be an academic specialization with improvement of professional skills in the context of exercise and health. Through the internship, highlighting the learning achieved at planning level, structuring, teaching and control of the training program. These skills, necessary for professional performance in Exercise and Health, have been developed throughout the training sessions with full autonomy, and they result from a permanent analytical and reflective concern of professional experience, in order to improve the communication, prescription and guidance processes. Considering the acquisition of scientific expertise an experimental component was also developed in professional activity context. The effect of the WorkActive program was evaluated in physical fitness and the perception of musculoskeletal pain in 5 nurses, after 6 months of program implementation. The results showed a significant improvement of muscular resistance: abdominal muscle, (p=0.042), trunk and upper limbs (p=0.043) and lower limbs (p=0.043). Also cardiorespiratory capacity improved significantly (p=0.043), with no significant changes in body composition, although the BMI values were lower at the end of the program (p=0.043).
