ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Presenteeism refers to the presence of a worker at work with reduced performance due to illness, and it is a common public health problem. Exposure to noise during production processes brings risk to workers' health. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the health profile of workers in the automotive industry and identify the association between noise perception and presenteeism among workers in the Brazilian automotive industry. DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a cross-sectional study utilizing a case study design analyzing the automotive industry in the interior of São Paulo state, Brazil. METHODS: This study included 306 workers using the Presenteeism Work Limitations Questionnaire protocol. Multiple logistic regression was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Male workers with reports of headache, tension, and limited well-being at work, having perceived that noise exposure interferes with productivity, showed a positive association with the occurrence of presenteeism. Physical demand had the highest score in terms of interfering with the presenteeism index. CONCLUSION: Workers' perceptions of noise were associated with presenteeism.
ABSTRACT
O trabalho analisa as consequências da desterritorialização na Baía de Sepetiba sobre o processo de trabalho e saúde dos pescadores artesanais daquele território. Por meio do conceito de determinantes sociais em saúde, aproxima os novos vetores de crescimento da região com as condições de vida e saúde destes trabalhadores. Através de entrevistas semiabertas e grupos focais explicitou-se esta relação. Os resultados sugerem uma forte associação entre os empreendimentos portuários e as instalações do programa nuclear da Marinha do Brasil com a pesca extrativa tradicional, contribuindo para o aumento do tempo de navegação e dos riscos ocupacionais inerentes à pesca artesanal. Além dos impactos econômicos e ambientais na produtividade e qualidade do pescado, consequência direta das obras de dragagem e dos novos fluxos de navegação e fundeio estabelecidos e impostos pelo estado.
This paper outlines the consequences of deterritorialization of artisan fishing folk in Sepetiba Bay in the State of Rio de Janeiro on the occupational and health status of this population living in the area. By means of the concept of social determinants in health, it compares the new patterns of growth in the region with the living and occupational health conditions of these workers. This relationship was explained after conducting semi-structured interviews and focus groups. The results point to a strong relationship between the port undertakings and the installations of the nuclear program of the Brazilian Navy with subsistence and extractive fishing, contributing to an increase in the time spent at sea and the inherent occupational risks involved in subsistence fishing. This is in addition to the economic and environmental impacts on the productivity and quality of fishing production, which are a direct consequence of the dredging works and the new navigation and anchoring norms established and imposed by the state.
