Relação entre clima organizacional e atividades de prevenção ao uso de risco de álcool, tabaco e outras drogas entre profissionais da atenção primária à saúde

Abstract

Studies show that professionals working in organizations with a more positive organizational climate (OC) have better performance at work. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between preventive practices in relation to risk use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and the perception of organizational climate among 149 professionals in Primary Health Care (PHC). The OC was measured by a scale involving the following factors: 1) Leadership, 2) Professional Development; 3) Team Spirit, 4) Relationship with the Community, 5) Safety at Work, 6) strategy; 7) reward. Prevention activities were measured by counting the number of ASSIST (Screening Instrument) and BI (Brief Intervention) held within three months after theoretical training. We also used scales of self-efficacy and confidence to perform screening and BI and a structured questionnaire involving questions about the practice of professionals in prevention activities to drug use. To verify the proximity of the variables we used multiple correspondence analysis and correlation analysis, with 95% confidence interval. The teams that had better scores on the scale of organizational climate have also had the best performances in the practice in prevention activities to drug use. The factors of OC that is best associated with the practice of professionals were the "Professional Development" and "Relationship with the" Community ". The dimensions of "leadership" and "rewards" also showed significant associations. Findings suggest that environment with better perceptions of OC can be facilitator for the prevention of drug use in PHC.
