title: Anxiety disorders as a cause of work absenteeism

description: Abstract Introduction: mental and behavioral disorders (MBD) are among the main causes of lost workdays. Anxiety disorders are the second cause of work absenteism. Objective: to identify and analyze evidence available in literature about work absenteism due to anxiety disorders. Methods: integrative literature review, with no publication year limits and with controlled subject headings, using the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (Lilacs), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline) and Nursing Database (BDENF). Results: the final selection consisted of 13 articles, the oldest published in 2006 and the most recent in 2016. Work absences due to anxiety disorders had as main risk factors the environment and working conditions, with a negative impact for both, the worker‘s and the employer‘s health. Discussion: evidence indicates a high prevalence of anxiety disorders as cause of work absenteeism and of the high demand for increasing social security costs. Knowing the worker‘s illness profile contributes to identify the MBD risk factors, and helps in proposing intervention strategies aimed at reducing work absenteism.

title: Firearm injuries to public safety professionals and military personnel: integrative review

description: Abstract Objective: to systematize the bibliographic production on the occurrence of firearm injuries (FAI) among public safety professionals, including police officers and military personnel. Methods: integrative review carried out in Brazilian and international electronic bibliographic databases (Brazilian Virtual Health Library, Scopus, Web of Science and Pubmed), without time or geographic specification. Results: thirty-one articles were found according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There was a growing increase of publications between 1976 and 2016, most of them in English and published in health sciences journals. FAI were the mainspring of injury among police officers, most frequent in male professionals, aged range 30. The riskiest circumstances were: arrest actions and clashes with criminals; attendance to police calls to verify order disturbance; and in war situations. There are few studies discussing the physical repercussions of FAI for the public safety workers’ professional practice.

title: Implementation of functional rehabilitation measures in a federal university

description: Abstract Introduction: functional rehabilitation (FR) is a link between healthcare and work demands, and necessarily leads to intervention in the working context. Objective: to present the implementation of FR measures in a federal university from the Southeast region of Brazil. Methods: we described the FR theoretical-methodological definition, the principles included in the current legislation, the criteria and procedures applied to FR as well as its institutional possibilities and limitations. We evaluated the results of the first year of FR implementation, 2016, by analyzing cases of returning to work. Results: FR measures were provided to nine pilot cases. After the first year, there was a reduction of 37% in sick leave, compared to the previous year. Conclusion: it is important to formulate policies and legislation that better define the FR conceptual/epistemological scope and present theoretical/methodological framework for enabling the implementation of FR services in federal universities.

title: Assessing the implementation of the Surveillance and Health Care Protocol of former workers and the population exposed to lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in Santo Amaro, Bahia, Brazil

description: Abstract Objective: to assess the implementation of the Surveillance and Health Care Protocol for former workers and population exposed to lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in Santo Amaro, Bahia, between 2010 and 2015. Methods: we designed a logical evaluation model and data collection instruments to assess the structure, process and results of the protocol implementation. We used the adapted Delphi method as a consensus technique to ensure the validity of content and the judgment matrix. Results: the evaluation final score was 22.3%, considered not satisfactory according to the adopted scale. The “structure” rendered 38 points out of 100; the “process” (related to the dimension “organization and execution of the activities foreseen by the protocol”) rendered 25 points out of 100; and “results” rendered 4 points out of 100. Only 2.5% of the Protocol covered population had assistance forms filled. Moreover, there were failures in attendance, exams and notifications to the Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação [National Disease Notification System]. Conclusion: the protocol implementation process needs greater commitment from the public health management, improved infrastructure, and better strategies for health care teams and for the population participation.

title: Challenges and opportunities for Worker`s Health training in Primary Health Care: contributions for intervention strategies

description: Abstract Objective: to identify and analyze the main challenges and opportunities for health workers’ training, regarding the inclusion of occupational health policies within the scope of Primary Health Care. Methods: exploratory-descriptive study, based on a review of public documents and scientific articles that supported the construction of SWOT matrices, aiming at highlighting the interfaces between the fields of Occupational Health, Primary Health Care, Management of Health Services and Health Programs. Results: data analysis evinced challenges and opportunities for health workers’ training in the four fields interface, each of them with specific demands, from academic education (emphasis on masters and doctorate degrees) to Services training (emphasis on multi-professional residences and professional masters programs). Discussion: based on the fields interface analysis, this study may contribute to the design of intervention strategies that take into account the centrality of the health-work relations social and environmental determinants, as well as to focus on appropriated training approaches for strengthening occupational health intervention strategies in the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS).

title: Frontline losses: absenteeism among firefighters during the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic

description: Abstract Objectives: to describe absenteeism related to suspected (acute respiratory infection cases) and confirmed cases of COVID-19 and other diagnoses among firefighters in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: we analyzed official records of sick leave due to health problems. The analysis was organized into: 1) graphs stratified by diagnostic group; 2) descriptive analyses of proportion of sick leave and percentage of working days lost due to acute respiratory infection; Chi-squared comparison of proportion of sick leave and percentage of working days lost due to acute respiratory infection, and other diagnoses, between 2019 and 2020. Results: the graphical analysis showed a regular sick leave pattern before the onset of the pandemic, a peak in sick leave due to acute respiratory infection after the onset of the pandemic, and a new sick leave pattern after the peak period. The proportion of sick leave and the percentage of working days lost due to acute respiratory infection increased by 312% and 580% in 2020, respectively. In contrast, the percentage of working days lost due to other diagnoses decreased by 16%. Conclusion: the change in the absenteeism profile among firefighters reflects formal employment contract, institutional policies and risk perception about COVID-19.

title: Can’t justice stop?! The COVID-19 impact on the Brazilian Federal Judiciary teleworking policy

description: Abstract Introduction: working remotely has become a necessary resource in face of the public health emergency crisis caused by the new Coronavirus (Sars-CoV-2). Objective: to analyze the trajectory of remote working regulation in the Brazilian Federal Judiciary and how the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak affected that process. Methods: descriptive study based on the federal judiciary teleworking regulations. Results: the federal judicial system started to adopt teleworking in 2013, when the Forth Region Court published the first resolution on this topic. In 2016, the National Council of Justice regulated it nationally and each Court issued additional regulations. Due to the pandemic and aiming at keeping its activities during lockdown and social distancing measures, the Federal Judiciary quickly established full and compulsory remote working to all magistrates, civil workers and trainees. However, each court adopted different goals and took distinct actions. Individual and family aspects, as well as work environment, organization and nature were considered for the teleworking implementation. Conclusion: the results suggest that the challenges of remote working during the pandemic crisis should contribute to the analysis and improvement of current regulations, goals and public policies, whether in the Judiciary or in all other sectors, as well as to understand and prevent their impacts on workers’ health.

title: Occupational health in Ecuador: a comparison with Latin-American surveys on working conditions

description: Abstract Introduction: Ecuador has recently implemented its First Working Conditions Survey. Objective: to describe working and employment conditions and workers’ health status in Ecuador in a sample that allows comparison with previous Latin American surveys. Methods: a sample of 1,713 workers was drawn from the First Working Conditions Survey in Ecuador. Prevalence and a 95% confidence Interval (95%CI) were calculated and compared with previous Latin American surveys in Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Central America, and Uruguay. Results: men were more often exposed to hazardous working conditions, with noise (81% of men and 69% of women), and repetitive movements (56% and 48%, respectively) being the most frequently reported. About 31% of men and 19% of women worked more than 40 hours per week. Almost 11% of both women and men reported poor self-perceived health status. The prevalence of occupational injury was the highest in the region: 15% for men and 8.4% for women. Conclusions: this is a first approach to the working and employment conditions and workers’ health status in Ecuador. To harmonize and improve Working Conditions Surveys in Latin America should be a priority goal for enhancing regional occupational health surveillance.

title: Occupational safety and health of health workers caring for patients during the Covid-19 pandemic: a literature review

description: Abstract Objective: to analyze the academic production on the occupational health of health workers serving patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: a literature review including articles from 2020 indexed in PubMed, Web of Science and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (Medline and Lilacs). Results: we analyzed 52 articles according to professional group studied, country were the research was conducted, type of study design and research theme. We emphasized and discussed the most updated and relevant knowledge, questions and issues from the point of view of Collective Health, and Worker’s Health. Over half of the papers were from China (55.7%) and studied different health professionals categories grouped (57.7%). The most frequent studies types were essays (46.1%) and cross-sectional studies (30.8%). The highlighted themes were the workers’ knowledge about the disease, Covid-19 cases among health workers, mental health, and occupational safety. Conclusion: the studies published at the beginning of the pandemic highlight lack of updated knowledge and failures in protecting workers’ health, and recommend the management of work processes, workplaces, COVID-19 cases, public policies and workers’ rights.
