Resumen En una realidad social y laboral variable, compleja e inestable, la presencia de la enfermería del trabajo en las organizaciones constituye un valor añadido por su trayectoria y atención especializada. El periodo de formación de la especialidad tiene como objetivo formar a profesionales que puedan realizar actividades dirigidas a prevenir, promover, proteger y restaurar la salud de la población trabajadora. El enfoque de su actuación será laboral con perspectiva de salud pública, integral con mirada holística, integrado en el servicio de prevención de riesgos laborales y basado en la mejor evidencia científica disponible. A su vez, el ejercicio de la actividad debe realizarse también de acuerdo con estándares profesionales y ajustada a principios éticos. Por tanto, esta disciplina debe considerar no sólo que su práctica clínica sea efectiva, sino también coste-eficiente.

Introduction: Toluene, an aromatic hydrocarbon present in various products, is primarily absorbed through the respiratory tract and can affect different body organs. Occupational health nurses play a key role in detecting acute and chronic exposures. They are also responsible for collecting and processing samples for biomonitoring. However, information on the collection and handling requirements, as well as nursing interventions, is scarce and heterogeneous. Aims: We reviewed the existing literature linking toluene and occupational health nursing, identified sample collection and processing requirements, as well as signs and symptoms of exposure, and related them to diagnoses and nursing interventions. Methods: We conducted a literature search using the PICO strategy, without limitations on document type, date, or language, in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Signs and symptoms were classified according to the system and nursing test performed during the health examination, identifying possible diagnoses and nursing interventions. Results: We found no studies linking toluene and occupational health nursing. Seven out of 60 identified documents were selected, which provided information on sample collection requirements. Signs and symptoms were identified based on nursing tests and related to diagnoses and nursing interventions. Conclusions: The presence of occupational health nursing in studies on toluene is scarce. Sample collection criteria are heterogeneous and limited. There were no studies relating signs and symptoms of toluene exposure to diagnoses and nursing interventions. Further studies on occupational toxicology are needed from a nursing perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: El uso de tecnologías digitales se ha convertido en una estrategia para incrementar la efectividad de los servicios de salud. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el impacto del uso de las herramientas de salud digital sobre la gestión del absentismo laboral y el retorno al trabajo. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática siguiendo el formato PRISMA en las bases de datos electrónicas Pubmed, Cochrane, Web of Science, CINAHL y ScienceDirect. La calidad metodológica fue analizada a partir de las herramientas de evaluación crítica del Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Resultados: Un total de 24 estudios fueron incluidos en esta revisión, de los cuales se extrajeron resultados muy heterogéneos debido a la variabilidad de métodos de medición. El uso de herramientas digitales contribuía, mayoritariamente, en la mejora de las cifras de absentismo y de retorno a la actividad laboral, no evidenciándose en ninguno que ocasionara un perjuicio. Adicionalmente, en 10 de los estudios se obtuvieron datos sobre presentismo y otros factores influyentes en el absentismo y el retorno a la actividad laboral, como fueron la resiliencia, el compromiso laboral y el desapego psicológico al trabajo. Conclusiones: El uso de herramientas de salud digital contribuye positivamente en la recuperación de los trabajadores que se encuentran en situación de incapacidad temporal, facilitando la gestión del retorno al trabajo y, por consiguiente, favoreciendo la reducción del absentismo laboral.

Objective: to know the perception of nurses at work regarding the areas of knowledge and intervention. Method: quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study. It involved a sample of 472 occupational nurses. A questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument, which took place between May and September 2017, based on the core areas of knowledge and competencies of the occupational nurse and on the scale of perception of the areas of knowledge and intervention of the occupational nurse. Results: Occupational Nursing was understood by the majority as a transitory professional activity, because it was exercised as a financial complement to the main activity or because they could not be placed in the area of professional practice of their preference. Conclusion: the professional practice in the areas of knowledge and intervention was devalued or not recognized and seen by the majority of nurses as transitory, because almost half aspire to work in the future in this area, but only on a part-time basis.

To infer nursing diagnoses among workers of a public health service. Descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative, census-type study, carried out between August and October 2019. The sample consisted of 26 professionals from a Municipal Health Secretariat. For its effectiveness, the following instruments were applied: Food Questionnaire Ministry of Health, Baecke Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Bipolar Questionnaire. A comparative analysis was carried out between these and the defining characteristics and factors related to the nursing diagnoses of Nanda International (NANDA-I). It was possible to infer five nursing diagnoses: Sedentary Lifestyle, Overweight, Sleep Pattern Disorder, Fatigue and Stress Overload. The identification of nursing diagnoses in the scope of workers' health is fundamental for the elaboration of care plans appropriate to the health status of the person being cared for.

Objetivo: determinar la relación entre los factores de riesgo psicosocial y satisfacción laboral de los trabajadores que se desempeñan en unidades de oncología y cuidados paliativos de una región de Chile. Material y método: estudio no experimental, transversal, correlacional con abordaje cuantitativo. Durante el último semestre 2016, se realizó un censo a 110 trabajadores sanitarios, usando para la recolección de datos un instrumento que consta de tres partes: a) antecedentes biosociodemográficos, b) el cuestionario SUSESO-ISTAS 21 para riesgos psicosociales y c) S20/23 para satisfacción laboral. Durante toda la investigación, se respetaron principios bioéticos internacionales. Resultados: existe relación con significancia estadística (p≤0,05) entre riesgos psicosociales y satisfacción laboral en el trabajo, la dimensión de riesgo psicosocial con mayor riesgo es exigencias psicológicas (x: 11,24; DE:3,06) y doble presencia (x: 3,23; DE:1,90) y el factor en que se percibe menor satisfacción es el ambiente físico de trabajo (x: 4,32 DE:1,77). Conclusión: con los resultados obtenidos se puede afirmar que los trabajadores que se desempeñan en unidades de oncología y perciben mayor riesgo psicosocial en el trabajo tienen menor satisfacción laboral, lo que podría impactar en la calidad de la atención.

Objective: to identify strategies for the prevention and rehabilitation of low back pain in nursing workers. Method: integrative literature review. LILACS, MEDLINE PUBMED and SCIELO databases were searched, for articles published in English, Spanish and Portuguese from 2009 to 2019. Results: Three categories emerged from the 14 selected articles: "prevention strategies", "complementary rehabilitation strategies", and "combined strategies". Prevention consisted mainly of online education and strategies based on the Health Belief Model. The complementary strategies found were massage, myofascial release and yoga. Combined strategies such as the Spine School seem to provide a more adequate model for the management of non-specific lower back pain. Conclusion: Due to the scarce number of publications on the subject, further studies should be conducted to obtain more accurate evidence on the efficacy of these strategies, as well as the use of new approaches, particularly multimodal, in this specific population in its work environment.

Objective: To evaluate the importance and degree of development of the professional competences of occupational health nursing specialists in Spain described in Public Order SAS/1348/2009 in the areas of prevention, clinical care services, legal expertise, management, teaching and research. Methodology: This cross-sectional, descriptive study surveyed occupational health nurse members of specific and/or relevant multidisciplinary professional societies at the autonomous community or state levels in Spain. A questionnaire, designed by an expert panel and centered on approved professional competencies was administered in 2014. Descriptive statistics summarized the sociodemographic profile of respondents. Bivariate analysis, followed by multivariate linear regression analysis, was used to measure associations between specific independent variables and both the perceived importance and degree of development of each competency. Results: In the descriptive analysis of perceived importance, there are three competencies that stand out: manage a registration system that ensures the confidentiality of the data; increase the health level of the worker through health promotion and risk prevention, and identify real or potential occupational health problems. Regarding highest degree of development, the following stand out: management of a confidentiality registration system; pro-vide urgent and emergency care in the workplace and identify real or potential occupational health problems. Discussion: Type of occupational health service, the economic sector to which the company belonged and years of professional experience were associated with both the importance and degree of development of each of the competencies.
