OCCUPATIONAL RISKS OF THE NURSING TEAM IN THE MOBILE EMERGENCY SERVICE

Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the occupational risks presented by the nursing team in the mobile emergency care service. Method: this is an integrative literature review with a qualitative approach. The search was carried out in the LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE, Google Scholar and VHL databases. For the construction of the guiding question, the PICo strategy was used, using the descriptors: Occupational Risks; Emergency Medical Service; Nursing team. The inclusion criteria were articles that addressed occupational risks; publications with full texts; published between 2014 to 2019 and available in Portuguese, English and Spanish. And, the exclusion criteria: incomplete productions, unavailable for free; theses; dissertations; articles that did not address the theme of this study. Results: Among the risks analyzed, the most frequent in the literature was the one followed by biological risk. Final considerations: as a limitation of the study, there is a difficulty in finding research with a mechanical risk approach in order to foster greater knowledge of how this risk interferes with the work activity and the health of the nursing team professionals.
