A university hospital’s CSSD had two floors and the transportation of materials was carried out by ramp from one floor to another, which subjected nursing team members to a heavy burden with repercussions for their health. The lack of resources was expressed by the participants as one of the main reasons for occupational stress. Ignorance on the CSSD work and care with the dispensing of materials increases the risk of contamination in the CSSD. The high physical effort at work is seen as something positive for workers, although it poses serious health risks. Good interpersonal relationships help workers to overcome the difficulties of working at CSSD. |

A strategy for quantifying the average daily workload in the CSSD was developed. This strategy was built from the reclassification of packages according to the quantity of materials (in XS, S, M, L and XL) and according to their complexity (in simple or complex); the measurement of the average time for processing these packages, excluding the time when the packages were not under direct handling by nursing team members. An average processing time was achieved for each of the 10 types of packages, which varied between 3 minutes for XS Simple packages and 29 minutes and 34 seconds for Complex SL packages. |
