Prevalência da capacidade para o trabalho inadequada entre trabalhadores de enfermagem da atenção básica à saúde

Abstract

PrefaceThe focus on the population's work ability has changed over the years due to changes in working life, public health, population structure, culture and societal norms. Comprehensive and up-to- AbstractResearch on work ability is important from the perspective of the individual, work organisation and society. Good work ability increases wellbeing and supports employment. Knowledge on the different dimensions of work ability is necessary for regaining, maintaining and promoting work ability.The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the work ability of the Finnish population. The book is based on the extensive data of the Finnish Health 2000 Survey. The focus is on the age group of 30 to 64 years; young adults and over 64-year-olds are addressed more briefly. The number of the 30-to 64-year-old participants was 5,199.Most people of working age evaluated their work ability as good. Welleducated persons, white-collar workers and those living with families were most satisfied with their work ability whereas farmers, part-time workers and unemployed people often perceived their work ability to be limited. In all population groups work ability decreased with growing age. The oldest group of employed women, in particular, had many problems with work ability. Among young adults, the highest risks of limited work ability were unemployment, lack of sufficient basic education and mental problems.Health and work were the most important determinants of work ability. Of the diseases investigated in this study, depression and back disorders decreased the work ability of employed people the most. Yet, also among those with no long-term illnesses, limitations in work ability increased with age.Low physical work demands, support from supervisors and co-workers, control over one's work, and possibilities of development at work were related to good work ability. A suitable job seemed to ensure maintenance of work ability also among older workers.In addition to work and health also expertise, skills and attitudes defined work ability. The relation of expertise to good work ability was, however, evident only among those with a higher education, a physically light job and good health.A comparison with the data of the Mini-Finland Survey that was carried out at the end of the 1970s showed that work ability of the population had improved over a period of two decades. The simultaneous change in the population's educational level explained the decrease in work ability limitations among women and for the most part among men.

Professional safety constructs in the context of Primary Health Care

“…The professional's performance is understood in different ways by the researchers, one of them in relation to the ability to work, however, it almost always refers to the idea of the balance between stress related to working conditions, the work environment and its tools and the worker's wear caused by stress (20) .…”

“…En efecto, existe una relación entre salud mental y capacidad de trabajo reportada en la literatura (32,33). Por ejemplo, la flexibilidad del ritmo de trabajo y la existencia de turnos diurnos con días de descanso intercalados hacen posible que el trabajador disfrute de actividades recreacionales y afiance relaciones familiares; consecuentemente, estima su capacidad de trabajo como buena (34). Lo que se pudo evidenciar en el estudio y podría ser una estrategia para que los trabajadores eviten enfermedades, en particular aquellos con mayor tiempo de servicio en el ámbito laboral.…”
