The objectives of the present study were to classify the cardiovascular evaluation of rural workers through the Global Risk Score and analyze the intensity of the relationship between the classification and the variables of the score. A descriptive study was developed with 38 rural workers from the extreme southern Brazil. Data collection was performed through an interview and verification of anthropometric measurements and arterial blood pressure. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the Spearman correlation test. The overall 10-year cardiovascular risk classification using the Framingham global score showed a predominance of low risk (n = 22; 57.9%); however, 11 rural workers (28.9%) had a high cardiovascular risk. Spearman's correlation analysis showed significance between the Global Risk Score and gender (rho = 0.623, p ≤ 0.001), age (rho = 0.783, p ≤ 0.001), systolic blood pressure (rho = 0.545, p ≤ 0.001), and smoking (rho = 0.483, p = 0.002). These results show that rural workers need attention with regard to components that may put them at risk for cardiovascular disease. This study may help in the early diagnosis and more effective actions on the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Objective: to apply a socio-environmental approach to the relationship between human health and rural labor through a link verifi cation/association between health disorders and the use of pesticides. Method: this is a quantitative, cross-sectional, observational and exploratory study with 331 inhabitants of two cities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data analysis was conducted by Poisson regression. Results: reported health disorders included: mental (62.2%); circulatory (49.8%); dermatologic (45%); respiratory (41%); and gastric (36.2%). Workers who apply pesticides showed a 90% higher prevalence of dermatological alterations when compared to those who did not. Conclusion: the socio-environmental approach, comprising elements of the rural environment, of workers, and of the use of pesticides in the work process in connection/association with potential health disorders has shown that rural workers who apply pesticides present a higher prevalence of dermatological alterations.

RESUMO Objetivo: aplicar uma abordagem socioambiental na relação entre saúde humana e trabalho rural por meio da verifi cação de nexo/associação entre distúrbios de saúde e uso de agrotóxicos. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal, observacional e exploratório, realizado com 331 trabalhadores rurais de dois municípios do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Realizou-se análise dos dados por regressão de Poisson. Resultados: os distúrbios de saúde referidos incluíram: distúrbios mentais (62,2%), circulatórios (49,8%), dermatológicos (45%), respiratórios (41%) e gástricos (36,2%). Trabalhadores que aplicam agrotóxicos apresentam prevalência 90% maior de alterações dermatológicas quando comparados aos que não aplicam. Conclusão: o uso da abordagem socioambiental constituída por elementos do ambiente rural, do trabalhador e do uso de agrotóxicos no processo de trabalho no potencial nexo/associação com os distúrbios de saúde permitiu verifi car que os trabalhadores rurais que aplicam agrotóxicos apresentam maior prevalência de alterações dermatológicas.

Objective:To identify the exposure of rural workers to the sun's ultraviolet radiation and pesticides; to identify previous cases of skin cancer; and to implement clinical and communicative nursing actions among rural workers with a previous diagnosis of skin cancer. Method: Observational-exploratory study conducted with rural workers exposed to ultraviolet radiation and pesticides in a rural area in the extreme south of Brazil. A clinical judgment and risk communication model properly adapted was used to develop interventions among workers with a previous history of skin cancer. Results: A total of 123 (97.7%) workers were identified under conditions of exposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation and pesticides; seven (5.4%) were identified with a previous diagnosis of skin cancer; four (57.1%) of these presented potential skin cancer lesions. Conclusion: This study's results enabled clarifying the combination of clinical knowledge and risk communication regarding skin cancer to rural workers.
