Abstract:

Analyze the factors related to the notification of accidents at work in sentinel units of the municipality of Fortaleza, in the northeast of Brazil. Method: Cross-sectional, analytical study conducted in five sentinel units for serious and fatal accidents at work in the municipality of Fortaleza. 354 questionnaires were applied to the professionals responsible for the notifications of accidents at work. The Prevalence Ratio was used with confidence interval of 95% and Pearson\'s Chi-square and/or Fisher\'s exact tests. After this step, we used stratified analysis and multiple analysis through Poisson regression using the Stepwise Forward method. In the final model, the variables that presented significance level less than or equal to 0.05 were maintained. Results: Around 2/3 of the interviewees are female. The following variables were significantly associated with the greater chance of notifying AW: time of operation in the area, have attended in at least three courses, have knowledge about ordinances and legislation related to accidents at work, and on SINAN´s file, have knowledge that the accidents at work are events of compulsory notification and discuss this topic with the work team strongly associated with the chance notification.
