Teams and working conditions in mobile pre-hospital care services: an integrative review

Abstract

Study to identify, analyze and summarize the findings available in the literature on the composition of teams and working conditions in Mobile Pre-Hospital Care Services (PHC). Integrative review to search the Base de Dados de Enfermagem [Nursing Database] (BDEnf), the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science and the portal of journals from the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Eighteen articles met the inclusion criteria and were selected. The composition of the teams for PHC services is diversified on the international stage, with the increase in responsibilities assumed by paramedics and the benefits of the specialized nurse's and doctor's presence in the teams being portrayed, which are scarce in some countries. Working conditions reveal risky places of work, intense psychological demands, work overload, dissatisfaction and inadequate resources in most services.
