The approach to the management and quality of work in health institutions is relatively recent. The
objective of the present study was to determine the effects of changes in the organization of health
work on the life of the professional involved. Interviews were held with 35 professionals working
with different specialities in a Brazilian hospital to investigate the effects of organizations changes
on job satisfaction. Analysis of the data identified smaller propensities among subjects less
qualified in terms of engagement, professional training and development, linked to the loss of
self-esteem related to simplification of the job.
4138.42 Female vulnerability: HIV seropositivity among married women, Luciana Nogueira
Fioroni, Marco Antonio de Castro Figueiredo, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil
Based on the life histories of HIV seropositive women contaminated by their partners, we studied
some meanings of living with seropositivity and how such meanings influence the reconstruction
of identity. Ten women living with their partners in a stable relationship were interviewed. Content
analyses of thematic categories permitted the identification of elements for interventions based on
determinants of female vulnerability involving the roles of gender and subordination in marital
relations, suggesting the need to promote re-significance in coping with domestic living with
HIV/Aids.
4138.43 Work and quality of life: Workers’ strategies for coping with professional wear, Lícia
Barcelos Souza, Marco Antonio de Castro Figueiredo, University of Sao Paulo – Brazil
The subjective dimension of work as opposed to objective life conditions may offer indicators for
improving quality of life and the minimization of worker wear. Sixteen workers assessed quality
of life related to questions determined by the subjectivity/objectivity ratio of Work. A synthesis of
the case studies permitted the recovery of convergences and divergences between the ways of
perceiving contradictions present in the relations between work, subjectivity and quality of life,
contributing to the understanding of the determinates of the worker's well-being or wear, and also
to identicate strategies for coping with physical and mental wear on the job.

76 nurses were involved in the implementation of mental-health services available over the
telephone. All participants received training on how to: detect mental health problems, provide
essential information, refer the callers to appropriate resources. Half of the sample was allowed to
use standardized intervention protocols for 3-month. Measures were taken before a basic
workshop delivered to all participants and after the 3-month period. Perceived self-efficacy to deal
with mental health calls was measured, as well as actual efficiency. ANOVAs show a significant
change in perceived self-efficacy, but not in actual efficiency. The importance of training in mental
health is highlighted.
