Objective: To quantify the prevalence of UTI and identify risk factors possibly involved. Method: Questionnaire seeking to identify risk factors for UTI was applied. Results: Of the 86 respondents, 46 (53%) reported having submitted UTI in a year. Of these, over a third had recurrent UTI, and the main factors involved are the reduced water intake, reduced the number of urination, use of improper clothing and not performing preventive practices during and after sexual act. Conclusion: The prevalence of UTI in the telemarketing workers showed up twice the estimated prevalence. We suggest the creation of campaigns to reduce the number of infected, minimizing discomfort and costs generated by hospitalizations and absenteeism of affected workers. Introdução: Funcionárias do teleatendimento cumprem horários predeterminados para uso do banheiro, o que as faz evitar o consumo regular de água, aumentando o risco de Infecção do Trato Urinário (ITU). Objetivo: Quantificar a prevalência de ITU e identificar os fatores de risco possivelmente envolvidos. Método: Aplicou-se um questionário buscando identificar fatores de risco para ITU. Resultado: Das 86 entrevistadas, 46 (53%) afirmaram ter apresentado ITU em um ano. Destas, mais de um terço apresentaram ITU de repetição, sendo os principais fatores envolvidos a reduzida ingestão hídrica, o reduzido número de micções, o uso de vestimenta inadequada e a não realização de práticas preventivas durante e após o ato sexual. Conclusão: A prevalência de ITU em funcionárias do teleatendimento mostrou-se o dobro da estimada. Sugere-se a criação de campanhas visando a reduzir o número de infectadas, minimizando o desconforto e os custos gerados pelas internações e absenteísmo das funcionárias acometidas. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: Portuguese refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
