Acidente de trabalho, com material biológico, em profissionais de saúde de hospitais públicos do Distrito Federal, Brasil, 2002/2003

Foi estudada a ocorrencia de acidente de trabalho em profissionais de saude no periodo de 2002/2003 e a influencia das medidas de biosseguranca e aceitacao de quimioprofilaxia frente ao risco de transmissao ocupacional do HIV. Avaliou-se 570 profissionais de saude de seis hospitais publicos, selecionados aleatoriamente, do conjunto de hospitais do Distrito Federal, Brasil. Esses profissionais foram questionados quanto ao conhecimento sobre biosseguranca, ocorrencia de acidente de trabalho, aceitacao da quimioprofilaxia e teste sorologico anti-HIV. Entre os profissionais avaliados, o coeficiente de acidentabilidade foi de 39,1 e mostrou-se inversamente proporcional ao porte do hospital. Dentistas, medicos e tecnicos de laboratorio acidentaram-se mais, em contrapartida aos farmaceuticos e enfermeiros. As situacoes relacionadas ao acidente de trabalho com maior aceitacao e adesao ao uso da quimioprofilaxia foram sorologia positiva e carga viral intensa do paciente-fonte (99,6-99,0%), em contraposicao a sorologia negativa do paciente-fonte e acidente de pequena proporcao (36,8-55,6%). O conhecimento dos profissionais de saude sobre o conceito e as normas de biosseguranca, a disponibilidade destas na unidade de trabalho e a realizacao de treinamento em biosseguranca nao influenciaram positivamente no coeficiente de acidentabilidade de trabalho.

Acidentes de trabalho: custos previdenciários e dias de trabalho perdidos

OBJETIVO: Estimar a contribuicao de beneficios concedidos por acidentes de trabalho dentre o total de beneficios relacionados com a saude da Previdencia Social, focalizando os custos conforme o tipo de beneficio, e o impacto sobre a produtividade relativa a dias perdidos de trabalho. METODOS: Utilizam-se registros dos despachos de beneficios do Sistema Unico de Beneficios do Instituto Nacional de Seguridade Social da Bahia, em 2000. Acidentes de trabalho foram definidos com o diagnostico clinico para Causas Externas, Lesoes e Envenenamentos (SS-00 a T99) da Classificacao Internacional de Doencas 10a Revisao, e o tipo de beneficio que distingue problemas de saude ocupacionais e nao ocupacionais. RESULTADOS: Foram estudados 31.096 beneficios concedidos por doencas ou agravos a saude, dos quais 2.857 (7,3%) eram devidos a acidentes de trabalho. Maiores proporcoes foram estimadas entre os trabalhadores da industria da transformacao e construcao/eletricidade/gas, 18% do total dos beneficios. Os custos com os beneficios para acidentes de trabalho foram estimados em R

8,5 milhoes, com aproximadamente meio milhao de dias perdidos de trabalho no ano. CONCLUSOES: Apesar do conhecimento de que esses dados sao sub-enumerados, e restritos aos trabalhadores que conseguiram receber beneficios relacionados com a saude, os achados revelam o grande impacto sobre a produtividade e o orcamento do Instituto Nacional de Previdencia Social de agravos reconhecidos como evitaveis, reforcando a necessidade de sua prevencao.

Sickness benefit claims due to mental disorders in Brazil: associations in a population-based study

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence, duration, and expenditure with work-related incapacity benefits (WRIB) of the Brazilian National Institute of Social Welfare, in 2008. METHOD: WRIB variables were stratified according to gender, age, and diseases categorized into ICD-10 chapters. RESULTS: There were 306,908 WRIB granted in 2008, with the prevalence of 94.2 per 10,000 insured workers. The most prevalent ICD-10 chapters were: XIX - Injury, poisoning and some other external cause consequences, XIII - Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, and V-Mental and behavioral disorders. The prevalence was higher among men (111.2) and those ≥ 40 years of age (116.9). Benefit was received for 75 ± 64 days independently of gender, and the average expenditure was R

Those ≥40 years of age were the most prevalent, received benefits for the longest period and the highest expenses in all chapters, except in XIX, in which the highest prevalence was of younger workers. CONCLUSION: WRIB data suggested underreporting of the work-relatedness of diseases. The prevalence of chapter XIX suggested that work environment safety measures were inadequate. Men and women showed different profiles of work disability; however, there was no gender difference in the length of benefit.

Prevalência de benefícios de seguridade social temporários devido a doença respiratória no Brasil

This study aims to determine the prevalence and duration of sickness benefit claims due to mental disorders and their association with economic activity, sex, age, work-relatedness and income replacement using a population-based study of sickness benefit claims (> 15 days) due to mental disorders in Brazil carried out in 2008. The prevalence of mental disorders was 45.1 claims per 10,000 workers. Prevalence and duration of sickness benefit claims due to mental disorder were higher and longer in workers aged over 40 years. Prevalence of claims was 73% higher in women but duration of sickness benefit claims was longer in men. Prevalence rates for claims differed widely according to economic activity, with sewage, residential care and programming and broadcasting activities showing the highest rates. Claims were deemed to be work-related in 8.5% of cases with mental disorder showing low work-relatedness in Brazil. A wide variation of prevalence and duration between age, economic activity and work-relatedness was observed, suggesting that working conditions are a more important factor in mental disorder work disability than previously assumed.

BACKGROUND Sickness benefit claims are an important economic burden to society. This study aims to determine the incidence of sickness benefit claims in Brazil in 2008, exploring the role of economic activity. METHODS Population-based study on sickness claims lasting longer than 15 days of sickness absence granted to private sector employees. Data on gender, age, economic activity, diagnosis, and work-relatedness were collected. RESULTS The annual incidence of sickness benefits was 421.8/10,000 jobs, 435.4 for males and 452.0 for females. There were 3.5 times more non-work-related than work-related claims. The main diagnoses were injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, and mental disorders. Rates increased with age up to 59 years. Economic activity 37-Sewage had the highest incidence of non-work-related and work-related claims. CONCLUSION The incidence of sickness benefits is higher among female and older workers. Economic activities show great variability of sickness benefit rates, work-relatedness, diagnostic categories, and gender.
