This research aims at investigating family farming workers' of Ituporanga microregion mental health problems and sociodemographical feature and work process association. The sample corresponded to 447 family farming workers in Ituporanga, i. e., part of the overall population lives in the 1.578 rural properties of the city (IBGE, 2007). A questionnaire with socio-demographic and work process variables was used for data collection concerning mental health problems along with the Self Report Questionnaire . Inference descriptive statistics with central trend measures and variability was used for data analysis. By means of binary logistic regression the probability of an event, i.e. the presence of mental health problems occur as a result of predicting variables. Level of significance 5% was adopted in all statistical procedures. The investigation revealed the prevalence of 33,8% of mental health problems. It was observed that women prevailed with 39,7% (n=91), in contrast with men with 26,1% (n=46), being such association statistically significant (X²=8,225, df=1, p=0,004, phi= -0,143). Socio-demographical and work process variables showed predictors of mental health problems, such as: (sex, age, use of agrochemicals, working hours outside and during harvest time, being family intoxication the most important. Mental health problems showed mostly associated to the use of agro-chemicals and farmers being intoxicated.
RESUMOEste estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão dos aspectos teóricos e metodológicos das pesquisas sobre o uso de mapas cognitivos como um recurso de investigação na ergonomia. Com a finalidade de fundamentar a pesquisa exploratória, selecionar e identificar na literatura especializada, o Portal da Capes foi utilizado como ferramenta de busca através do Scopus,
Foram utilizados o questionário EAMETA e as ferramentas RULA, OWAS e Suzanne Rodgers. A coleta de informações ocorreu por meio de observações in loco, entrevistas semiestruturadas, registro fotográfico, gravações de áudio e em diário de campo. Um dos principais problemas evidenciados está relacionado ao layout, organização das instalações físicas, de forma a promover a utilização eficiente de equipamentos, materiais e pessoas. As recomendações seguem o princípio da adequação dos problemas ergonômicos e deve ser analisadas quanto a sua viabilidade. A distribuidora de alimentos deve implementar as melhorias e oferecer um ambiente de trabalho seguro e produtivo, de acordo com os princípios ergonômicos.
