Abstract

INTRODUCTION. Ergonomic risk is the most prevalent in occupational injuries and the possibility of generating disability1-3. Especially in medical units of hospital service, where the manipulation of patients is obligatory in the bed or among other departments; because it has its own connotations, but different exposure: excess weight lifting and non-ergonomic postures, with support technology and human talent not always sufficient4-6. OBJECTIVE. Ergonomic risk was evaluated in nurses and auxiliaries, to recommend preventive and corrective measures in the Emergency, Neurology and Traumatology Services. MATERIALS AND METHODS. An observational, descriptive study, the population was 411 health workers and a sample of 164. Data collected through the Nordic questionnaire: index Mobilization of Hospitalized Patients, and the Ovako Working Posture Analyzing System method. The database was analyzed in: Microsoft Excel, EpiInfo 2008 and SPSS Ver 10.0. RESULTS. 31,0% (50;164), the bodily discomforts evaluated were from the Traumatology Area. Most prevalent shoulder discomfort 30,0% (15;50), dolls 20,0% (10;50), lumbar spine 20,0% (10;50), dorsal spine 24,0% (12;50), 6,0% knees and hips (3;50). CONCLUSION. Ergonomic risk is directly related to the manual handling of patients.
