Abstract(s)
Dada a actividade comercial do Grupo SATA, o risco de barotraumatismo Ă© possĂvel durante o serviço de voo. Algumas das consequĂȘncias sĂŁo problemas de saĂșde para estes tripulantes, que por sua vez contribuem para baixas prolongadas e custos socioeconĂłmicos para a SATA Internacional, e acima de tudo, para o colaborador. Para melhor compreender a severidade desta lesĂŁo, foi desenhado um estudo retrospectivo analĂtico e uma anĂĄlise estatĂstica com dados referentes a 137 participaçÔes de acidentes de trabalho de barotraumatismo, no perĂodo compreendido entre 2006 e 2011, ocorridos na SATA Internacional. A anĂĄlise dos resultados revelou um aumento progressivo da incidĂȘncia de BT. Ao longo dos 6 anos, e como previsto pelas pesquisas, notou-se que os barotraumatismos na SATA Internacional ocorreram, maioritariamente, aquando das descidas da aeronave (95,4% dos casos). As assistentes de bordo com menos de um ano de serviço sĂŁo as que correm maior risco, sendo as profissionais com mais casos de barotraumatismo (OR: 9,05; RR:7,42; IC: 95%). Sabemos ainda que, indivĂduos com 33 anos de idade foram os mais afectados, e que em termos de lesĂ”es, tanto o ouvido direito como o esquerdo foram igualmente afectados. Dito isto, este estudo reĂșne dados que explicam como ocorre o barotraumatismo, seus condicionantes, impactos, faculta medidas preventivas e correctivas para prevenção de novos casos na SATA Internacional, jĂĄ que se pretendia fornecer as ferramentas necessĂĄrias para reduzir as ocorrĂȘncias de acidentes de trabalho de barotraumatismo nesta companhia. Deste modo, este projecto tenta recomendar as medidas necessĂĄrias para garantir a saĂșde deste pessoal navegante de cabine e pessoal navegante tĂ©cnico, jĂĄ que desempenham funçÔes que os colocam em maior risco de sofrerem um barotraumatismo comparativamente a qualquer outro tipo de profissĂŁo dentro da SATA Internacional.
ABSTRACT: Given the commercial activity of Grupo SATA, the risk of barotrauma is considered possible during flight service. Some of the consequences can result in health problems in these crew members, which can contribute to prolonged absences, which result in social and economic costs for the company, and above all, for the employee. In order to better understand the seriousness of this wound, a retrospective study was designed, and a statistical analysis with data concerning 137 accidents of barotrauma in the period between 2006 and 2011, that occurred in SATA International. The analysis of these results showed a progressive increase in the incidence of barotrauma. Over these 6 years, and as presented by this research, it was noted that barotraumas in SATA International, occurred mostly during the descents of the aircraft (95.4% of cases). The flight attendants with less than one year of service are the mostly at risk, being the professionals with more barotrauma cases (OR: 9.05; RR: 7.42; IC: 95%). We also know that, individuals with 33 years of age were the most affected, and concerning the injuries, both the right and left ear were also affected, but with little difference between them. Thus said, this study gathers data explaining the occurrence of barotrauma, its agents, impacts, provides preventive and corrective measures to prevent new cases of barotrauma on SATA International, as it was meant to offer the necessary tools that would allow a better management in reducing these accidents in this company. In this sense, this project recommends the necessary measures to guarantee the health of these flight personnel, as they play roles that place them at greater risk of suffering a barotrauma compared to any other profession, in this company.
