RESUMO:

In Brazil, the hospital facility is considered a working environment favorable to numerous health damages. The nursing team is the group of workers that more expose themselves daily, firstly because it is among the most active categories in this sector and because it has characteristics in their work that generate physical and psychological exhaustion, which influence their performance. The working conditions that these professionals face today are described in the literature as inadequate and precarious and negatively influence the Quality of Life at Work (QLW). Thus, this study aims to identify the working conditions according to aspects that contribute to the quality of life of the nursing work environment in hospital care, by scaling and comparing the quality of life at work of nursing assistants and technicians with that of nurses. This is an exploratory cross-sectional epidemiological study. The research site was a medium-sized public hospital in the city of Salvador and the population comprised 93 nurses, technicians and nursing assistant from this institution. Data collection was performed through the application of two instruments: a questionnaire that addresses individual personal issues and working factors and the Total Quality of Life at Work questionnaire (TQWL-42). Calculations of proportions of qualitative variables and measures of central tendency were done and dispersion were performed for quantitative variables. The five spheres, aspects and overall score of the QLW instrument were analyzed descriptively. The study found out that the working conditions in which the nursing team is immersed reveal several situations of precariousness, related to physical structure, health of the workers and the organizational issues of the working environment: workplace hygiene, disposal of cleaning materials, inadequate temperature and lighting, a lack of material resources mainly related to workplaces and resting places, and numerous cases of departure for health problems, respectively, identifying the main pathologies: musculoskeletal disorders, psychological disorders and mental diseases, cardiovascular and circulatory diseases and respiratory system pathologies. Among the aspects analyzed were identified those that positively contribute to QLW: task meaning, job security, task identity, work ability, self-esteem, interpersonal relations, feedback and task variety, and those which contribute negatively to the QLW: poor working conditions, the absence of health care and social assistance, insufficient financial resources, lack of extra benefits and opportunity for growth. The overall QLW score was 55% for all workers, varying with 53% for nurses and 56% for assistants and technicians, an intermediate level of satisfaction with quality of life at work. It is necessary to implement new organizational strategies and programs aimed at promoting health and improving working conditions.
