“…Tais características incidem sobre a satisfação do servidor quanto ao seu trabalho e, consequentemente, sobre sua saúde, conforme evidenciaram Faragher et al (2005) em uma meta-análise baseada em 485 estudos, a qual apontou uma forte correlação entre os níveis de satisfação no trabalho e a saúde mental dos trabalhadores. Para os autores há evidências de que as mudanças nas condições de trabalho ocasionadas, principalmente, pelos avanços tecnológicos, possam contribuir para a diminuição dos níveis de satisfação do trabalhador (FARAGHER et al, 2005).…”

Resumo Objetivo: analisar as características epidemiológicas de afastamentos do trabalho por Transtornos Mentais e de Comportamento (TMC) entre servidores públicos federais do Poder Executivo, no Tocantins, e investigar se variáveis pré-selecionadas influenciaram nos afastamentos. Métodos: foram avaliados dados de 103 servidores com pelo menos um registro de afastamento por transtornos mentais no período de abril de 2011 a dezembro de 2012. Os dados foram obtidos de prontuários eletrônicos e de informações do Portal da Transparência do Governo Federal Resultados: “Episódios depressivos”, “Reações ao stress grave e transtornos de adaptação”, e “Outros transtornos ansiosos” foram os mais frequentes causadores dos afastamentos. Diagnósticos de “Esquizofrenia, transtornos esquizotípicos e delirantes” apresentaram a maior média de afastamentos por servidor; os diagnósticos de “Transtornos devido ao uso de substância psicoativa” apresentaram a maior média de dias de afastamento por servidor. Na análise de correlação parcial, controlado o efeito da idade, os servidores com menos tempo de serviço público e de trabalho em órgão federal passaram mais dias afastados do trabalho do que aqueles que já trabalhavam nesses ambientes há mais tempo. Conclusão: os resultados reforçam a concepção de saúde mental e de trabalho como indissociáveis na conjuntura produtiva atual, incluindo o serviço público.

“…Perceived management commitment to safety has been linked to employee attitudes such as: job satisfaction, organisational commitment and turnover (Michael et al, 2005;Zanko and Dawson, 2012). A meta-analysis by Faragher et al (2005) found evidence that job satisfaction was associated with workers' mental health but the evidence for a link with subjective physical health was weaker.…”

“…There is evidence that links job satisfaction and working conditions to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, burn-out and self-esteem, and also physical health. 89,90 . Although these factors may affect research, they are difficult to foresee and mitigate, given the limited resources available to a research team.…”

Collaborative case management to aid return to work after long-term sickness absence: a pilot randomised controlled trial

BackgroundDespite high levels of employment among working-age adults in the UK, there is still a significant minority who are off work with ill health at any one time (so-called ‘sickness absence’). Long-term sickness absence results in significant costs to the individual, to the employer and to wider society.ObjectiveThe overall objective of the intervention was to improve employee well-being with a view to aiding return to work. To meet this aim, a collaborative case management intervention was adapted to the needs of UK employees who were entering or experiencing long-term sickness absence.DesignA pilot randomised controlled trial, using permuted block randomisation. Recruitment of patients with long-term conditions in settings such as primary care was achieved by screening of routine records, followed by mass mailing of invitations to participants. However, the proportion of patients responding to such invitations can be low, raising concerns about external validity. Recruitment in the Case Management to Enhance Occupational Support (CAMEOS) study used this method to test whether or not it would transfer to a population with long-term sickness absence in the context of occupational health (OH).ParticipantsEmployed people on long-term sickness absence (between 4 weeks and 12 months). The pilot was run with two different collaborators: a large organisation that provided OH services for a number of clients and a non-profit community-based organisation.InterventionCollaborative case management was delivered by specially trained case managers from the host organisations. Sessions were delivered by telephone and supported use of a self-help handbook. The comparator was usual care as provided by participants’ general practitioner (GP) or OH provider. This varied for participants according to the services available to them. Neither participants nor the research team were blind to randomisation.Main outcome measuresRecruitment rates, intervention delivery and acceptability to participants were the main outcomes. Well-being, as measured by the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation Outcome Measure (CORE-OM), and return-to-work rates were also recorded.ResultsIn total, over 1000 potentially eligible participants were identified across the sites and invited to participate. However, responses were received from just 61 of those invited (5.5%), of whom 16 (1.5%) were randomised to the trial (seven to treatment, nine to control). Detailed information on recruitment methods, intervention delivery, engagement and acceptability is presented. No harms were reported in either group.ConclusionsThis pilot study faced a number of barriers, particularly in terms of recruitment of employers to host the research. Our ability to respond to these challenges faced several barriers related to the OH context and the study set up. The intervention seemed feasible and acceptable when delivered, although caution is required because of the small number of randomised participants. However, employees’ lack of engagement in the research might imply that they did not see the intervention as valuable.Future workDeveloping effective and acceptable ways of reducing sickness absence remains a high priority. We discuss possible ways of overcoming these challenges in the future, including incentives for employers, alternative study designs and further modifications to recruitment methods.Trial registrationCurrent Controlled Trials ISRCTN33560198.FundingThis project was funded by the NIHR Public Health Research programme and will be published in full inPublic Health Research; Vol. 6, No. 2.
