Resumo: | Objectives: To understand how the use of psychotropic substances is present in the lives of nurses and the possible consequences of this use, and to analyze the factors of personal involvement of these professionals with psychotropic medications. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted with 87 nurses from the states of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo. The questionnaire was disseminated through virtual social networks (WhatsApp and Facebook), mailing lists and other digital platforms. Results: Of the 87 nurses who participated in the study, 77 (88.5%) said that they had already used at least one of the psychotropic drugs surveyed. After alcohol, the most frequently cited class of drugs was tranquilizers, sedatives or calming agents. We observed that over half of the nurses (49 of 87; 56.3%) said that they had used some tranquilizer, sedative or calming agent at some point in their lives. The third class of psychotropic drugs most frequently cited was centrally acting analgesics (codeine and tramadol). Conclusions: It was evident that younger nurses and those with fewer years of education are the most vulnerable ones. We emphasize the need for a societywide look at this professional category. Afterall, what will happen if the caregiver gets sick? |

Metodologia: Estudo transversal, quantitativo, realizado com 87 enfermeiros dos estados do Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais e São Paulo. A divulgação do questionário realizou-se através de redes sociais virtuais (WhatsApp e Facebook), listas de e-mails e demais plataformas digitais. Resultados: De 87 enfermeiros que participaram do estudo, 77 (88,5%) disseram já ter feito uso de ao menos um dos psicotrópicos pesquisados. Depois do álcool, a classe de fármacos mais citada foi a dos tranquilizantes, sedativos ou calmantes. Vimos que mais da metade dos enfermeiros [49 de 87 enfermeiros (56,3%)] disse ter feito uso de algum tranquilizante, sedativo ou calmante em algum momento da vida. A terceira classe de psicotrópicos mais citada foi a dos analgésicos de ação central (codeína e tramadol). Conclusões: Ficou evidente que os enfermeiros mais jovens e com um tempo de formação menor são os mais vulneráveis. Ressaltamos a necessidade de um olhar de toda a sociedade para essa categoria profissional, pois se quem cuida está adoecendo, quem cuidará?
