Abstract

Emergency vehicles play a key role in life-sustaining by rescuing accident victims or transporting patients. Considering these vehicles as a work environment, the team of professionals who work in them is subject to occupational risk exposure. Thus, the present work aims to evaluate the profile and quality of life of workers working in Emergency Mobile Care Service - SAMU emergency vehicles in emergency care in rural areas. The work will be carried out in the rural area of Dom EliseuPA and will consist primarily of the evaluation of the worker's profile, by means of an identification form and then of the quality of life assessment by means of the Short-Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36) and the Nordic questionnaire on pain and discomfort. As a result, it was found that most of the employees act as rescuer (62.5%) and are male (62.5%). Of the total, 50% of employees are less than 2 years in this position, 37.5% are 2 to 3 years in the function and 25% are already 3 years. Most practice light exercise (50%) 2 to 3 times a week (62.5%). Regarding SF-36, good results were obtained, especially for the domains “functional capacity”, “physical aspects” and “emotional aspects”. For the Nordic questionnaire, the body region that presented the highest reports of discomfort was the lower back, which had three indications of moderate discomfort and two indications of minor discomfort.
