“…13 However, other research shows similar results regarding this variable in the general population. [6][7] As for the age group of retirement, there was a greater focus on individuals aged between 40 and 49 years old, and with advancing age, there was a tendency to reduction in disability pensions. This fact may be due to the accumulated service time, leading the worker to favor retirement in the modality of length of service, since there is a financial difference between the types of retirement and social security aid.…”

“…18 It predicates that the psychic disorders generated in the workplace constitute the genesis of the disease process and are directly related to the following factors: biomechanical, psychosocial, work organization and laboral psychodynamic. 6,18 In this sense, work activities are full of overloads, including excessive working hours and patterns, work overload, care management, interpersonal relationships, high psychological demands, among others. These complications can compromise the health status, implicating in musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular and pulmonary disease, and mental disorders.…”

“…[4][5] Regarding risk factors for disability retirement, studies have linked mechanical work and psychosocial factors: low education and socioeconomic status, comorbidities, extreme physical fatigue, low professional qualification, monotonous and stressful work. [6][7] Investigations conducted in Brazil on the causes of invalidity retirement generally addressed the beneficiaries of the National Social Security Institute (INSS) and federal employees in unspecific occupational areas. 4,[7][8] However, a study showed that this variable may be closely associated with the causes .9 After searches performed in the databases, national studies involving this issue within health professionals were not obtained; it is important to investigate this phenomenon in this occupational class, since its activity is considered insalubrious, stressful and there is a process of illness inherent to this work, especially for those working in the hospital area.…”

Aposentadoria por invalidez de trabalhadores da área da saúde de um hospital universitárioDisability retirement of workers in the health field at a university hospital Jubilación por incapacidad de los trabajadores del área de la salud en un hospital universitario ABSTRACTObjective: To identify the causes of disability retirement for workers in the health field at a university hospital. Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study conducted in 2014, by analyzing the records of the medical registry of workers in the health field of the university hospital of a public university of Paraná, who retired due to disability, from 2000 to 2013. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee, CAAE: 0344.0.268.000-12. Results: 40 were granted disability pensions. The main causes of disability retirement were mental and behavioral disorders (45.0%), followed by musculoskeletal diseases (25.0%), diseases of the circulatory system (7.5%) and neoplasias (7.5%). No significant association between variables has been made. Conclusion: The groups of diseases leading to disability retirement are the most common among the Brazilian population and preventable.

Although much attention has been given to the physical determinants of common musculoskeletal complaints such as back and arm pain, research points to a stronger influence of psychological factors. Multiple studies have implicated poor mental health and somatisation (a tendency to worry about common somatic symptoms) in the incidence and chronicity of musculoskeletal pain and associated disability. Also important are adverse beliefs about the prognosis of such disorders, and about the role of physical activity in their development and persistence. Differences in societal beliefs may have contributed to major variation in the prevalence of disabling musculoskeletal pain that has been observed between countries and in the same countries over time. Psychosocial aspects of work have also been linked with musculoskeletal pain, although relative risks have generally been smaller. There is a need to take account of psychological factors in the clinical management of patients with back, neck and arm pain. KeywordsMusculoskeletal pain; mental health; somatisation; health beliefs; psychosocial factors Historically, attempts to prevent incapacity for work from musculoskeletal disorders have focused mainly on the physical demands of employment. It has been assumed that symptoms and disability arise from injury to tissues, and can be prevented by better ergonomic design of occupational tasks to reduce mechanical loading. This biophysical paradigm may be appropriate for some types of musculoskeletal disease -for example, osteoarthritis of the hip caused by heavy lifting (see Chapter X) and degenerative meniscal Europe PMC Funders Group Europe PMC Funders Author ManuscriptsEurope PMC Funders Author Manuscripts tears in the knee caused by prolonged kneeling and squatting Chapter X). However, it has become increasingly apparent that the model has only limited applicability to common painful disorders of the back, neck and upper limb, which are the main musculoskeletal causes of disability for work.Most disabling pain of the back and upper limb is non-specific in nature with no clear evidence of underlying injury to tissues, and even where pathology can be demonstrated (e.g. herniation of an intervertebral disc in people with back pain), it appears often not to be the explanation for the symptom [1]. Furthermore, there have been major temporal changes in the prevalence of musculoskeletal illness and disability that cannot be explained by altered physical exposures. For example, social security statistics indicate that in Britain, long-term incapacity for work because of back pain increased more than eightfold between 1950 and the early 1990s [2], at a time when the physical demands of work were declining because of greater mechanisation and a shift in employment from manufacturing to service industries. And in Australia, there was a major epidemic of arm pain during the 1980s among office workers, which was not paralleled in other countries that were using similar technology [3].These observations indicate that factors ...

“…Replicating previous findings, female gender (15)(16)(17), educational level (18), and psychological distress (19,20) were risk factors for all-cause disability retirement. HRP was not related to disability retirement in models adjusting for psychological distress and did not moderate the impact of distress on later disability retirement.…”
