Hospital refurbishments often take place in parallel to regular operation, resulting in a scheduling problem: Construction activities must located such as they do not clash with daily work activities and vice versa. To be able to see this mutual influence, we have devised a tool in which we are able to visualize the adverse effects of construction on daily operation. The approach uses a cellular automaton to represent the three-dimensional hospital environment and uses a particle simulation for computing the distribution of dust, noise and vibrations. By interactively relocating work activities and construction activities, our tool can be used to solve the mentioned scheduling problem. It also enables us to show the sequence of construction and relocation activities in 3D, which might be easier to interpret than a classical project plan in tabular form.

This research aimed to verify the mental health status related to occupational factors of nursing professionals in a public hospital in the State of Goiás, Brazil. This quantitative descriptive research characterized the psychosocial aspects and mental disorders developed by the nursing team in a public hospital in Goiás. The questionnaire application occurred during August and September 2020. The study sample was composed of 15 nursing professionals of a participating hospital in Goiás. The occupational health of nurses in a hospital may involve several challenges since their work environment may change according to each company reality. Thus, the professional may work in dangerous, risky, unhealthy, refrigerated, noisy, confined, or shared locations. We then conclude the mental disorders are present in the daily life of professionals who work in a hospital environment, especially nurses, and are related to circumstances experienced within the workplace itself, leading to gradual illness among the professionals.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to understand how nursing professionals perceive the care provided to patients with terminal illness in the hospital environment. This was an exploratory study with a qualitative approach, conducted with 23 professionals in the ambulatory service of a university hospital in southern Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection, in 2011. Using discursive textual analysis, dialogue was shown to be a fundamental instrument in caring for patients in terminal illness, enabling the facilitation of the difficulties experienced by these patients and their families. The importance of family presence for these patients was identified, making it indispensable for caring for their loved one. Continuous education of the staff is necessary, using problematization of the difficulties experienced in the workplace, humanizing and qualifying the nursing care, ensuring dignity and comfort to patients and their families.
