- Processo de auto-avaliação na Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde (ESTSP): Um desafio enquadrado no espírito da Declaração de BolognaPublication . Fonte, Rosália; Prudêncio, CristinaAtendendo ao espírito da Declaração de Bologna, a livre circulação que determina a mobilidade de pessoas e a decorrente possibilidade de emprego nos países da U.E., pressupõe que sejam tomados em consideração conhecimentos, capacidades e competências, através do reconhecimento e validação dos diplomas obtidos nos países de origem. Para que tal aconteça é necessário que a qualidade dos diplomas seja garantida pelas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) através da Auto-Avaliação e pela Entidade que, a nível nacional, é responsável pelo sistema de qualidade, através da Avaliação externa (Andrade, 2003).
- Relação entre os conhecimentos adquiridos pelos alunos e as metodologias e estratégias por eles utilizadas para o estudo da Bioquímica em Ciências da SaúdePublication . Prudêncio, Cristina; Ferraz, Ricardo; Fonte, RosáliaNum contexto de reestruturação da formação em Ciências da Saúde baseada em competências, torna-se necessário avaliar como e quais as competências realmente adquiridas pelos alunos, logo desde o primeiro ano. O conhecimento e o saber são a primeira etapa para a prática1, constituindo aqueles que são realmente adquiridos, um pilar fundamental para uma eficaz aquisição de competências. No presente trabalho apresenta-se um estudo preliminar que pretende avaliar os conhecimentos adquiridos na disciplina de Bioquímica do 1.º ano de diferentes cursos de Tecnologias da Saúde, quer de carácter laboratorial (Análises Clínicas e Saúde Pública; Anatomia Patológica, Citológica e Tanatológica; Farmácia), quer de carácter não laboratorial (Cardiopneumologia; Medicina Nuclear; Neurofisiologia; Radiologia, Radioterapia). Adicionalmente, pretende-se estudar as metodologias e estratégias utilizadas pelos alunos para o estudo da disciplina, enquadrada numa metodologia de ensino tradicional com 3h teóricas/semana (para os cursos laboratoriais ainda com 2h práticas/semana), avaliando uma potencial relação entre os conhecimentos adquiridos e a sua forma de estudo.
- Can the external environment affect the occupational safety conditions and unsafety behaviours?Publication . Loureiro, I.F.; Rodrigues, Matilde; Vale, C.; Azevedo, R.Portugal is undergoing an economic crisis affecting the European Union since 2007. The financial unsustainability of Portugal required foreign aid and consequently austerity and structural measures have been implemented. These measures are causing negative impacts on the economy income and living conditions of the population of Portugal. Studies in this field can stimulate new challenges in Occupational Safety and Health, as well as can be useful to planning strategies that attempt to minimize this situation. The present study adopted a quantitative methodology using a self-completed question naire named External Environment Questionnaire. The results indicate that the instability experienced by respondents and the organizations that they work for, may contribute to profound changes in the working conditions.

- Health care staff perception of noise in neonatal intensive care units: a questionnaire survey from NeoNoise ProjectPublication . Alberto Alves Carvalhais, Carlos; Santos, J.; Coelho, M.; Xavier, A.; Silva, M.A hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is designed to treat premature infants who need special care. These kind of units have become quite sophisticated, with a sort of medical devices that support an array of health care staff, such, physicians, nurses, health technicians, etc. (Konkani & Oakley, 2012). Noise in NICU is recognized as an agent with negative implications on health and well-being of premature infants (Nicolau, Casal, Lopes, & Kronenberg, 2005) and health professionals (Carvalhais, Santos, Vieira da Silva, & Xavier, 2015). Noise in NICU, and its effects on patients and staff, such as physiological and psychological disorders, has become an important issue, particularly because in these case patients are mainly premature infants. Noise as a stressor does not only put pressure on the workers and may result in a higher error occurrence, but also affect in a negative way, the healing process of patients (Siegmann & Notbohm, 2013). Figure 1, presents a general noise reaction scheme which can be used for hypothesis testing in noise epidemiology considering the cause-effect (Babisch, 2002).
- Effect of a safety education program on risk perception of vocational students: A comparative study of different intervention methodologiesPublication . Rodrigues, Matilde; Vales, C.; Vieira Da Silva, ManuelaThis study intends to analyze and compare the effect of a Safety Education Program (SEP) on vocational students’ risk perception when different training methodologies are used. A SEP was designed and applied to 157 students of Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs. The sample was divided in three groups. In each group a different training methodology was applied: theory based; demonstration-based and testimonies-based. To assess their effect on students’ risk perception, the same survey questionnaire was applied two weeks before and after the SEP. Results showed a significant and important positive impact of the SEP. Comparisons among intervention methodologies showed dif ferences in their effect on risk perception, where a greater effect was found for testimonies-based meth odology. The results of this study emphasize the importance of a SEP in VET programs. However, the importance of a proper training methodology was demonstrated.
- Active workstations to improve job performance: a short reviewPublication . Maheronnaghsh, Sara; Vaz, Mário; Santos, JoanaModern changes in communication, transportation, domestic-intertainment technologies and workplaces are related to a substantial increase of sedentary living.This review was performed to summarize and analyze the studies investigating the impact of decreasing work sedentary time and implementing active workstations to improve work performance. This review was based on relevant articles published in Scopus, Medline, and Web of science from 2007 until 2017. The results of this brief review indicate statistically significant relationships between several interventions for increasing physical activity and employee work performance. Type of intervention and implementation procedure were identified as factors that can determine effects on the job performance. Some studies have shown interventions with positive influence on productivity, others suggest that it is feasible to implement a multi-component intervention such as Stand Up desk with high fidelity with no perceived decrease in productivity. In conclusion, more field studies are necessary to determine work performance and acceptance of dynamic workstations in a real work environment.
- The Importance of Emergency Response Training: A Case StudyPublication . Pinheiro, Ana Sofia; Gouveia, Rui; Jesus, Ângelo; Santos, Joana; Baptista, João S.The success of the Emergency Plan depends on the ability of its occupants to respond. For this reason, it is fundamental to develop an appropriate training strategy for each organization. This pilot study aimed to understand the influence of specific training program on the emergency response. This study included a total of twenty-two workers of a company. The workers were divided into three emergency response teams with four elements and one another group with ten elements. The emergency response team had specific training actions with theoretical and practical contents. Finally, all workers participated in an activity called emergency scenarios, where a moment of brainstorming was provided for the solve each scenario. The classifications obtained in different assessments moments (M1: after training and M2: after three weeks of training) revealed that knowledge had been acquired by participants. Additionally, it was verified that teams, with specific training, presented better results in their specific scenario. The emergency response training may have better results if it enhances teamwork and the involvement of all stakeholders.
- The Influence of Active Workstations on Work Performance, Productivity Indicators and Sedentary Time: A Systematic ReviewPublication . Ramos, Sofia; Maheronnaghsh, Sara; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Vaz, M.; Santos, JoanaThe most of strategies to promote physical activity in workplaces interfere with work tasks and many organizations declined these programs. The aim of this review is to understand the impact of the active workstations on the performance and productivity indicators, and also on the reduction of the sedentary time. This review applied PRISMA methodology. 389 studies were identified by searching the different databases and 12 studies were selected, fulfilling the screening and eligibility criteria. The implementation of active workstations did not have a significant impact in terms of performance and productivity. However, some of indicators revealed some positive changes, namely at sit-standing, walking and cycling conditions. All active interventions had positive effects on the reduction of sedentary work time. However, it is essential that active interventions have promising effects for employers accept the challenge.
- Effectiveness of Occupational Safety and Health Training Methods: A Study with Metalworking Small EnterprisesPublication . Barros, Beatriz; Dores, Artemisa Rocha; Rodrigues, MatildeThe incorporation of proper training in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is of paramount importance for small enterprises. However, the method applied will influence its effectiveness. This study aims to explore and compare the effects of two training methods on safety behaviours and OSH knowledge, when applied in metalworking small enterprises. For this study were selected an active method, with group discussion, and an expository method, with formal exposure. A total of 212 workers participated in this study. The sample was divided into three different groups: two intervention groups (active and passive group) and one group without intervention (control group). A questionnaire was developed to assess the following dimensions: safety behaviour (safety compliance and safety participation) and OSH knowledge. It was administered before, and one month after, the training sessions. The results indicate that OSH training had a positive, but limited, effect on the variables under study. Significant differences were found, between the two assessment moments for OSH knowledge with both the expository and the active methods. Significant differences between the three groups were found after the intervention for OSH knowledge. However, no significant differences were observed in any case for safety behaviours.
