Objective: to analyze the results of an Interprofessional Education activity in the Occupational Health field. Method: this is an Action Research, which encompassed the implementation and evaluation stages of the activity. It was developed in a Public Higher Education Institution through 15 meetings, totaling 60 hours. It had 16 participants, five undergraduate students, three graduate students, five teachers and three health professionals, representing the areas of Nursing, Physical Education, Physiotherapy, Gerontology and Psychology. Data regarding the implementation of the activity were collected in a field diary and analyzed through Thematic Analysis. An evaluation form constructed exclusively for this purpose was applied, whose data were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. Results: three thematic categories were identified: (1) Comprehensive care; (2) Work as a social determinant of the health-disease process; and (3) Interprofessional teamwork. The activity of Interprofessional Education was positively evaluated by the participants, who pointed out the contributions of this strategy in the construction of knowledge directed to Occupational Health. Conclusion: the activity of Interprofessional Education proved to be possible and important in the context of the formation of health professions to strengthen occupational health care.

Objective: to analyze the association between socio-occupational characteristics, stress level, and quality of life in hospital Nursing workers. Method: a cross-sectional, quantitative study, with data collected by means of a socio-occupational questionnaire to survey the profile of the workers, the Bianchi Stress Scale to assess stress, and the WHOQOL-Bref to assess quality of life. Results: 180 Nursing workers participated in the research, being 49 nurses and 131 Nursing technicians and assistants, most of them women, predominantly aged up to 35 years old, married, and with up to three years of experience in the sector. In general, the participants presented medium stress level, with a higher level among the nurses, and greater satisfaction with the quality of life level related to the physical (65.6%), psychological (64.7%), and social relationships (67.9%) domains. This study identified significant associations between stress and quality of life in hospital Nursing workers. Conclusion: it was demonstrated that there was an association between stress and quality of life, and the greater the stress, the lower the quality of life in hospital Nursing workers.

Resumo Objetivo: analisar as ações de implantação da Vigilância em Saúde do Trabalhador (Visat) na esfera municipal, pela perspectiva de gestores e tomadores de decisão. Método: estudo descritivo-exploratório de abordagem qualitativa, realizado em duas etapas: (1) levantamento documental da legislação relacionada à Saúde do Trabalhador; (2) entrevistas semiestruturadas com 15 gestores e tomadores de decisão na área, que foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas segundo análise temática. Resultados: a análise documental incluiu seis documentos, sendo três relacionados às ações de Visat e três relacionados às ações que guardam interface com a Saúde do Trabalhador. Sete categorias emergiram na análise temática: Aspectos legais da Saúde do Trabalhador; Implementação das ações de Visat; Fluxos de informação e comunicação da Visat; Papéis e competências relacionados à ST no Sistema Único de Saúde; Articulação entre os setores envolvidos na Visat; Atuação do Centro de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador regional; Relevância do controle social e participação sindical para implementação da Visat municipal. Conclusão: o estudo evidenciou fragilidades na consolidação da Visat, com desarticulação dos setores envolvidos, ações fragmentadas, ausência de definições de papéis e fluxos de trabalhos e, ainda, desconhecimento dos aspectos relacionados à atenção à saúde dos trabalhadores pelos atores envolvidos em sua consolidação.
