Saúde do trabalhador em um município mineiro: LER/DORT e COVID-19.

Abstract

Study with a descriptive, cross-sectional, exploratory approach and quantitative methodology, which aimed identify sociodemographic characteristics, morbidities and quality of life (QoL) and assess whether there are associations between the QoL domains and other characteristics in workers with LER/DORT. 68 workers diagnosed with RSI/DORT participated. Telephone contact, evaluation and interview were carried out. For the analysis of the collected data, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Chi-Square test, Man-Whitney test and Spearmann test were used, considering a significance value of p< 0.05. The workers had a mean age of 50.1±7.25 years and most were women. The QoL results showed lower averages for the Physical Domain (PD), followed by the Environmental Domain (AD), Psychological Domain (DP) and Social Domain (SD). Lower averages in DF and PD were correlated with greater intensity of symptoms and a greater number of musculoskeletal and emotional morbidities. Lower AD means were correlated with a greater number of musculoskeletal and emotional morbidities, older age and exposure to a greater number of environmental risks. Lower means in the DS were correlated with a greater number of musculoskeletal and emotional morbidities and associated with having a partner (a). The findings of the workers' self-perception indicate important aspects for the formulation of specific public policies, based on interprofessionality and surveillance of work environments, with a view to promoting health and preventing injuries to improve the quality of life of this population.
