Abstract

Safety and health in the workplace are rights of all workers, being fundamental for the quality of life and for the socioeconomic and sustainable development. In the healthcare work process, studies and ergonomics programs are essential in identifying and controlling the ergonomic risk situations that nursing professionals are permanently exposed to due to the characteristics of the activities they perform at their workplaces. This research is about a web application in ergonomics and interfaces in nursing work. The application integrates videos, images, and texts, with the possibility of exploring the content in a non-linear way by aggregating various media in the same environment. This research meets ongoing demands, with the use of information and communication technologies in healthcare to support nursing work. Considering the health-work relations and their implications, nursing requires a differentiated perspective, as they are exposed to high biomechanical, environmental, psychosocial, and organizational work demands, in which the area of ergonomics has relevant contributions.
