Objectives:
to compare social, health and working conditions among nursing, nutrition and hospital cleaning service workers.
Methods:
a quantitative cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study carried out in a public hospital in the countryside of São Paulo, including workers from nutrition, cleaning and nursing services. Data collection occurred during working hours. Validated questionnaires and Karasek's Demand-Control model were used to assess psychosocial dimensions and the Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 to measure the common mental disorder. As dependent variable, the groups professionals and chi-square test were used for associations with p≥ 0.05.
Results:
227 workers participated. Positive associations were found between professional groups and socioeconomic, health and work characteristics.
Conclusions:
social, health, and working conditions differ between the professional groups studied.

Objective:
to assess the correlation among the ATP-bioluminescence assay, visual inspection and microbiological culture in monitoring the efficiency of cleaning and disinfection (C&D) of high-touch clinical surfaces (HTCS) in a walk-in emergency care unit.
Method:
a prospective and comparative study was carried out from March to June 2015, in which five HTCS were sampled before and after C&D by means of the three methods. The HTCS were considered dirty when dust, waste, humidity and stains were detected in visual inspection; when ≥2.5 colony forming units per cm2 were found in culture; when ≥5 relative light units per cm2 were found at the ATP-bioluminescence assay.
Results:
720 analyses were performed, 240 per method. The overall rates of clean surfaces per visual inspection, culture and ATP-bioluminescence assay were 8.3%, 20.8% and 44.2% before C&D, and 92.5%, 50% and 84.2% after C&D, respectively (p<0.001). There were only occasional statistically significant relationships between methods.
Conclusion:
the methods did not present a good correlation, neither quantitative nor qualitatively.
