Prevalência de dor musculoesquelética em professores

Este artigo descreve a prevalencia de dor musculoesqueletica segundo variaveis sociodemograficas e ocupacionais de professores do ensino basico. Um estudo epidemiologico de corte transversal, de carater censitario, incluiu todos os 4.496 professores do ensino fundamental da rede municipal de Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. As prevalencias de dor musculoesqueletica em membros inferiores (41,1%), membros superiores (23,7%) e dorso (41,1%) foram elevadas. A prevalencia global de dor musculoesqueletica relacionada a qualquer um dos tres segmentos corporais foi de 55%. A dor musculoesqueletica foi mais prevalente, nos tres segmentos investigados, entre as mulheres, os mais velhos, de nivel educacional medio, casados, com tres ou mais filhos e que trabalhavam mais de quatorze anos como docente. A prevalencia de dor musculoesqueletica associou-se as seguintes variaveis ocupacionais: tempo de trabalho superior a cinco anos na escola estudada, elevado esforco fisico, outra atividade remunerada nao docente e calor em sala de aula. Esses achados alertam para a necessidade de adocao de politicas publicas para melhoria das condicoes de trabalho do professor.

Aspectos psicossociais do trabalho e dor musculoesquelética em professores

This study aimed to investigate the association between work-related psychosocial factors and musculoskeletal pain (MP) among primary schoolteachers in the public school system in Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil. A cross-sectional epidemiological study included all 4,496 teachers from the system. A self-applied mail questionnaire was used to collect information on complaints of musculoskeletal pain in the upper limbs, lower limbs, and back (dependent variables), demand-control model quadrants (independent variables), and covariables. Multivariate logistic regression showed that teachers in high-stress jobs presented the highest MP rates, and that those with low-stress jobs had the lowest rates in all three body segments. Teachers in active jobs presented higher MP rates than those in low-stress jobs, particularly in the upper limbs and back. Higher MP prevalence rates were associated with heavier psychological demand in all three body segments and with limited job control in the upper limbs only.

Fatores associados a acidentes de trabalho envolvendo trabalhadores informais do comércio

This study aimed to estimate the incidence of non-fatal work-related accidents in the informal commercial sector and analyze associated socio-demographic, occupational, workplace, and health factors, in a cross-sectional survey of 434 workers in the business district of Jequié, Bahia State, Brazil, in 2013. Logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with accidents. Incidence of accidents in the previous 12 months was estimated at 32.3%, and multivariate analysis showed higher odds of accidents in male sex workers (OR = 1.61), young individuals (OR = 4.62), meat or poultry workers (OR = 9.55), and workers performing heavy physical work (OR = 1.71). The results show the need for public policies to prevent accidents in the informal commercial sector.O estudo objetivou estimar a incidencia de acidentes de trabalho nao fatais sobre trabalhadores informais do comercio e analisar os fatores associados a esses eventos quanto aos aspectos sociodemograficos, ocupacionais, condicoes laborais e de saude.

Percepções de professores sobre trabalho docente e repercussões sobre sua saúde

Objective: To analyze teachers’ perceptions of the teaching work and the repercussions on their health. Methods: Qualitative study conducted with twelve teachers from public schools of a municipality of Bahia. Data were collected between October 2011 and January 2012 using focus group. Data were analyzed and interpreted using the Content Analysis Technique resulting into three thematic categories: Needs for changes in the work environment; Factors influencing the teacher’s health; Consequence of the teaching work on their health. Results: It was verified that teachers need assistance for their health and familiar arch with public policies aimed at disease prevention. They reflect that the teaching work is demanding and requires discipline in the classroom but is undervalued, which contributes to the development of musculoskeletal and emotional disorders. Multiple job factors and lifestyle have consequences on teachers’ health, changing their quality of life. Conclusion: This study allowed to assess the teaching scenario, characterized by a high demand of activities, physical and mental overload and professional undervaluation. The development of intervention strategies and the evaluation of its applicability are needed to improve teachers’ the quality of life. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p276

Formação interdisciplinar: efetivando propostas de promoção da saúde no SUS - doi:10.5020/18061230.2007.p252

The study aimed at discussing, in the ambit of Brazilian Public Health System (SUS), the lack of development of the proposal of interdisciplinarity as a barrier to the effective exercise of actions and social politics; starting from the knowledge, the reflection and search of solutions for the existent social demands. In order to do so, the concept of interdisciplinarity is based in its conceptual dimension, emphasized as an ally to the formation and consolidation within a complex structure, in the premises of health promotion. Also, the important role that the university possesses in the consolidation of SUS is seen, but it does not accomplishes for several reasons. However, the practice and actions that involve interdisciplinarity need to be stimulated and experienced, lived in different stages of life, as an important issue for that they may rebound in an idealized, practicable and resolvent public health system.
