The contradiction between efficiency and solidarity, which excludes workers from the formal labor market, finds in the associations a solution for people with different capacities. This social technology offers much more than simple survival or exoticism. The wastepickers create a sustainable mode of production, putting together economic, social and environmental criteria in an innovative and fair production technology.

Esta pesquisa objetivou mapear as principais evidências de pesquisas brasileiras de abordagem qualitativa, de modo a trazer as principais percepções e demandas trazidas por quem está no centro do processo produtivo: os trabalhadores. Trata-se de uma Revisão de Escopo realizada nas bases de dados, LILACS, SciElo e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Dos 156 estudos encontrados, 10 compuseram esta revisão, trazendo como resultados para discussão desta pesquisa: os sentidos do trabalho e a autonomia do trabalhador, as relações interpessoais no trabalho, a questão de gênero no trabalho, território e acesso aos serviços de saúde e as condições de trabalho para promoção da saúde. Ao dialogar com as atuais políticas de promoção da saúde e saúde do trabalhador foi possível evidenciar lacunas importantes para construção de um instrumento legal que unifique, ou proponha abranger tais aspectos não contemplados, que foram discutidos nesta revisão.

A experiência, assim como os processos de subjetivação que decorrem das transformações do sujeito por meio da atividade, evidenciam-se na produção de novos saberes, na aquisição de habilidades, no desenvolvimento de competências. O corpo é a base dessas transformações. Ele sustenta o conjunto de elementos que se apresentam no debate de normas e valores que caracterizam a atividade. Esta se produz num sistema de interações entre indivíduo e ambiente, em que as estruturas internas dos atores envolvidos se determinaram. Nosso objetivo neste artigo é refletir sobre os processos constitutivos de experiências que têm no corpo, na atividade e na dinâmica saúde-doença seus elementos norteadores. Palavras-chaves:Experiência. Atividade. Corpo. Psicossociologia do trabalho. Ergologia. ABSTRACTThe experience, as well as the processes of subjectivation that result from the transformations of the subject through the activity, are evidenced in the * Graduada em Terapia Ocupacional, mestre e doutora em Psicologia pela UFMG.

BackgroundIt is known that the investment in promoting health, both at the individual level and at the organizational level can bring benefits to all individuals included in this process. This Scoping Review compares the main results addressed in Brazilian qualitative researches and in other countries that addressed the topic of workers’ health promotion.Methods Thirty-three articles were selected for analysis from the SciELO, BVS - BDENF/Index, PubMed, and LILACS databases. Scientific articles that used a qualitative or quantitative-qualitative approach in Portuguese, English or Spanish, during the period from 2009 to the present moment of our Review (October 2019) were included. This Scoping Review was guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s framework.Results The literature review allowed the discussion on the following related topics: worker’s social participation in health decisions, perceptions/meanings about health promotion, working conditions and worker’s suffering, working conditions and the risk of illness, worker’s awareness, and changes in lifestyles, employers’ stereotypes about their workers and health promotion, the use of technology in health promotion interventions, the importance of communication in promoting workers’ health and social support at work for carrying out health promotion actions.ConclusionThis study showed differences in the research analyzed and provided the mapping of the main results that may support future research and changes in worker’s health policies in general. While in Brazil, studies are still focused on workers’ perceptions about health promotion and the assessment of working conditions risks to their health, in other countries, most qualitative research has been used to assess workers’ perceptions after a given workplace health promotion intervention.

BACKGROUND: Health promotion is an important strategy for companies as it helps identify risks at work and the health needs of workers. Nursing, as a profession committed to promoting decent work, plays an important role in this strategy. OBJECTIVE: This manuscript aims to discuss the experience of the Nursing Service in the construction of knowledge about work, to support actions in favor of health promotion. METHODS: This is a discussion article in the field of occupational health conducted at a Research Center in the nuclear area. RESULTS: Based on actions centered on guidelines on lifestyles and scheduling visits to the workplace, with the Internal Public Health Commission, limitations were identified that allowed us to discuss and understand the role of nurses as occupational health professionals. CONCLUSION: Knowing the work and understanding it in its specificities and limitations of the production process has allowed to expand the possibilities of action with workers to transform working conditions and promote health.
