This study presents situational risk scenarios to predict the potential implications of predicted and perceived thermal configurations on the health and well‐being of health care professionals in intensive care units (ICUs). Nine ICUs were selected, and thermal variables were collected; simultaneously, 128 health care professionals were interviewed to assess their perceptions, satisfaction, and health conditions related to their workplace environment. In scenarios with thermal comfort (either predicted or perceived), the risk of exposure to physical and psychological symptoms was reduced. This effect also extends to predictions and perceptions tending toward slightly cooler temperatures. In situations with a predicted mean vote below −1.5 and above 0.5, symptom complaints increased, even when the health care professionals perceived their environment as thermally comfortable, with the most extreme cases generating an increase of up to 27% in the baseline probability. Adjusting the workplace environment to be thermally comfortable can reduce symptom complaints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
