Cerca de seis mil pessoas morrem anualmente na União Europeia em
consequência de acidentes de trabalho e mais do dobro morrem por doenças
profissionais, segundo a Organização Internacional do Trabalho. Objetivo: Analisar a
relação entre acidentes de trabalho e a prática de exercício físico nas instituições de
apoio a idosos no concelho de Viseu. Material e Métodos: Estudo transversal e
analítico dos acidentes de trabalho e exercício físico nos trabalhadores de instituições de
apoio a idosos através da aplicação de um questionário a uma amostra de 253
trabalhadores. Para testar as relações de dependência das variáveis independentes,
recorreu-se ao teste de independência do qui-quadrado. Procedeu-se à determinação do
odds ratio e intervalos de confiança associados a esse risco. O nível de significância
adotado foi de 5%. Resultados: A prevalência de acidentes de trabalho foi de 17,8%.
Dos trabalhadores que sofreram acidentes de trabalho, 28,9% mencionaram ter ficado
com sequelas, dos quais cerca de 39% referiu serem lesões muscoloesqueléticas.
Verificou-se associação estatisticamente significativa entre o tempo de serviço e a
ocorrência de acidentes; os trabalhadores com 5 ou mais anos de serviço sofreram mais
acidentes, existindo um risco cerca de 2,4 vezes superior destes terem um acidente em
relação aos trabalhadores com 4 ou menos anos de serviço (OR=2,391; IC=1,203-4,755,
p=0,018).Verificou-se uma associação estatisticamente significativa entre o número de
horas de trabalho diário e a ocorrência de acidentes, sendo que os inquiridos que
trabalhavam 7 horas por dia têm um risco de vir a ter um acidente cerca de 2,2 vezes
superior ao dos que trabalham 8 horas ou mais (OR=2,192; IC=1,122-4,283, p=0,032).
Verificou-se que dos inquiridos que praticavam exercício físico, cerca de 19% sofreram
acidentes de trabalho e dos que não praticavam exercício físico, cerca de 17% sofreram
acidentes de trabalho. Não se verificou associação estatisticamente significativa entre a
prática de exercício físico e a ocorrência de acidentes. Conclusões: Apesar da
prevalência dos acidentes de trabalho nestas instituições ser inferior à verificada noutras
instituições similares, os trabalhadores com mais tempo de serviço e os que trabalham
7h por dia são mais afetados por esta condição.
According to the International Work Organization, about six thousand people annually die in the European Union in consequence of accidents related to the workplace, and more of the double die due to professional diseases. Objective: Analyze the relation between accidents in workplaces and the practice of physical exercises in institutions of elderly support in the Viseu county. Material and methods: Transversal and analytic study regarding accidents in the workplace and physical exercise in employees of institutions of elderly support by the application of a questionnaire the target was constituted by 253 employees. It was tested the dependent relation of the independent variables, using the independence Chi-Square test. It was performed the determination of the odds ratio and the confidence interval associated to the risk. The significant level adopted was of 5 %. Results: The prevalence of accidents in the workplace was of 17,8%. Of the employees that suffered accidents in the workplace, 28,9% referred that they still suffer the consequences, of which 39% are related to muscle and bone injuries. It was verified a significant association between the amount of years of service and the occurrence of accidents; the employees with 5 or more years of service have suffered more accidents than those with 4 or less years of service, the risk is higher than 2,4 times (OR=2,391; IC=1,203-4,755; p=0,018). There is also a significant association between the number of working hours per day and the occurrence of accidents; those who work 7 hours per day have a risk of 2,2 higher than those who work 8 hours or more (OR=2,192; IC=1,122-4,283; p=0,032). Of the inquired that practiced physical exercise, about 19% suffered accidents at work and of those who don’t practice exercise, 17% suffered accidents at work. There was no significant association found between the practice of physical exercise and the occurrence of accidents at work. Conclusions: Despite of being inferior the prevalence of accidents in the workplace in these institutions than in other similar institutions, the results show that employees with more years of service and those that work 7 hours per day are mostly affected by this condition.
