RESUMO
Resumo O estudo teve como objetivo investigar o custo humano físico, cognitivo e social no trabalho do agente comunitário de saúde (ACS) e sua relação com possíveis danos à sua saúde. Estudo transversal, descritivo, quantitativo-qualitativo, com 251 ACS de municípios da 13ª Coordenadoria Regional de Saúde-RS. Os dados foram coletados em entrevistas, questionário sociodemográfico e "Inventário de Trabalho e Riscos de Adoecimento" (ITRA). Utilizaram-se para a análise dos dados a média dos escores fatoriais e a Análise de Conteúdo. Todos os fatores relativos aos custos humanos apresentaram avaliação moderada/crítica. Quanto aos danos à saúde, os danos físicos receberam avaliação moderada/crítica, sendo os demais avaliados como positivos/suportáveis. Apesar disso, foi relatada a presença de transtornos psíquicos, em um discurso de banalização do sofrimento advindo do trabalho.
