Introduction: The consequences of technological innovations and current ways of work organization have prompted the appearance of various health conditions, namely repetitive strain disorders, work-related musculoskeletal disorders, and burn-out; these can emotionally and physically overload workers. Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and occupational stress in professors of the Serra Talhada campus of Instituto Federal do Sertão Pernambucano. Methods: Participants signed a free and informed consent form and answered to the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Subsequently, we applied the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey and evaluated the participants’ postures during teaching by using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment tool (Ergolândia software). Results: We observed that 82% of the participants presented musculoskeletal symptoms, mainly in the lower back and lower limbs. Professors presented high scores for the burn-out syndrome, and posture evaluation indicated action levels of 3-4 (suggesting immediate intervention). Conclusions: The implementation of an occupational physical therapist in this higher education institution is recommended in order to promote ergonomic adaptations and to elaborate a protocol for workplace physical activity, ultimately aiming to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and occupational stress.

BACKGROUND: School servants are professionals involved with cleaning and feeding activities in schools. Exposed to conditions of physical and psychosocial overload at work, they may face situations of morbidity and functional restrictions. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate personal and work characteristics and work ability index (WAI) of school servants in Brazil and test the mediating effect of WAI in the duration of sickness absence. METHODS: 163 Brazilian school servants participated in this cross-sectional study, that including the self-completion of a sociodemographic questionnaire, information about the Work Environment, the Protocol of Psychosocial Risks at Work’s Evaluation, and the Work Ability Index. Also was collected, in a secondary health database, information about sickness absence. A linear regression model was constructed to identify the predictors of the duration of absence, followed by the analysis of mediation with the Path Analysis method. RESULTS: The study found that the WAI partially mediates the relation of the personal characteristics and the work conditions with the duration of absence of the school servants. The predictors included the organizational aspects of work, mental exhaustion, physical damage, health self-evaluation, availability of personal protective equipment, and the need to assume inadequate postures at work. These predictors explained 33% of the duration of absence and 53% of the WAI of these workers. CONCLUSION: This study indicated that inadequate working conditions and low WAI impact in the sickness absence, increasing by 33% the length of time off work of school servants.

Introdução: Os distúrbios osteomusculares relacionados ao trabalho afetam o desempenho de trabalhadores e podem elevar o presenteísmo, condição em que o empregado comparece ao local de trabalho, mas não produz satisfatoriamente por estar doente. Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares e sua associação com o presenteísmo entre profissionais da gestão de saúde pública do município de Belém-PA, Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal, desenvolvido com 88 profissionais da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Belém. Utilizou-se questionário sociodemográfico para caracterizar a amostra, o Questionário Nórdico de sintomas osteomusculares para identificar a prevalência de sintomas de dor, dormência e formigamento no corpo, e o Stanford Presenteeism Scale para caracterizar o presenteísmo. As associações entre as variáveis foram realizadas utilizando um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Os sintomas osteomusculares nas partes superior e inferior das costas foram os mais prevalentes. O presenteísmo teve associação significante com carga-horária diária, prática de atividade física e presença doenças ou lesões osteomusculares diagnosticadas. Nos últimos 12 meses, os sintomas osteomusculares em pescoço, parte superior e inferior das costas, punhos/mãos e quadril/coxas foram associados com o presenteísmo. Nos últimos 7 dias, o presenteísmo foi associado aos sintomas em parte superior das costas e parte inferior das costas. Conclusão: Os distúrbios osteomusculares mais prevalentes em profissionais da gestão de saúde estão associados ao presenteísmo.
