- Translation and cultural adaptation of the HFMEA into European PortuguesePublication . Santos, Paula Machado; Morais, Carminda; Baylina, Pilar; BAYLINA MACHADO, PILARHealth organizations are faced with daily challenges, requiring them to provide a quality service, ensuring effectiveness and efficiency. Risk management is one of the conditioning factors to achieve this purpose, ensuring preventive actions for all processes, promoting the identification of risk to the mitigation of its consequences for the patient, professionals, or organization. Patient safety is a priority and healthcare organizations should be concerned with the implementation of methodologies and tools to promote risk management, such as Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (HFMEA). HFMEA has a high potential for risk management in healthcare organizations, with a proactive, prospective, and continuous approach to improvement. Translation and adaptation of the HFMEA instrument into European Portuguese. A methodological study was carried out based on the proposal presented by Beaton and followed the recommendations of the International Test Commission and World Health Organization. The HFMEA 2021 was linguistically translated and culturally adapted to the new context ensuring reliability, content validity was assured by a group of experts, which ensured semantic, idiomatic, experimental, and conceptual equivalence between the original instrument and the translation. HFMEA 2021 was successfully translated and adapted to European Portuguese, allowing its application.
- Unseen strains: The critical role of psychosocial risks, mental health and violence in nurses’ musculoskeletal disordersPublication . Baylina, Pilar; Santos, Paula Machado; Barros, Carla; BAYLINA MACHADO, PILARWork-related Musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are highly prevalent among nurses, not only due to the physical demands but also because of significant psychosocial stressors and mental health challenges inherent in healthcare environments. This study investigates the relationship between psychosocial factors, mental health, and workplace violence with the occurrence of WRMSDs in nurses. A total of 266 nurses from various healthcare units participated in this study. Three validated questionnaires were used: the Health and Work Survey (INSAT) to assess psychosocial factors and musculoskeletal disorders; The Violence at Work Scale to measure exposure to violence factors; and the DASS-21 scale to evaluate mental health dimensions, depression, anxiety, and stress. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics to determine the associations between the investigated factors and WRMSDs. This study analyzed the complex relationships that exist between three clusters of characteristics – psychosocial risk factors, mental health, particularly anxiety, and workplace violence – and workrelated musculoskeletal diseases (WRMSDs) in Portuguese nurses. In sum, inadequate guidance, low decision latitude, skill-development barriers, anxiety, and violence form the principal drivers of WRMSDs in this workforce. This study's results highlight the importance of addressing psychosocial factors, mental health, and workplace violence to reduce the incidence of WRMSDs among nurses. Interventions focused on improving working conditions and promoting mental health may be effective in preventing WRMSDs among nurses.
