“…It is also a source of suffering due to the feeling of exclusion and social segregation. Although work alludes to negative feelings, it is felt as something positive, and health professionals should therefore facilitate a return to work [12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

The objective of this article is to present a reading of the labor reintegration process. This study addresses the labor reintegration process of people who return to work after having been disabled for long periods of time regardless of the origin (common or work). This phenomenon has received different names in Spanish: reincorporation, return and reintegration. Thus, it has been difficult to understand. In some studies, it has been viewed as a result, while in others, it has been viewed as a process. Method: A qualitative study was conducted using the biographical method and the discursive interview technique with 11 participants. Content analysis and narrative lines were used. Results: Labor reintegration is a complex, multidimensional, multitemporal and multidirectional phenomenon. It is not a single process. It can entail multiple processes, since it depends on the experiences of those who live it, the contexts and the organizations where it is developed in a regulatory-administrative process that begins with the end of the period of labor inability, whose onset occurs with the same health-disease event. Conclusion: The phenomenon must be understood in terms of the psychosocial aspect and transcend the normative reading related to safety and health at work. It must shift from being a model focused on insurability to a model focused on workers’ health.

“…Different studies address aspects concerning RT regarding the positive impact of work on people's health [18], the construction of expectations and perceived uncertainty [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. In relation to the RT process, a linear perspective was found in the literature.…”

Objective To evaluate the health locus of control, self-esteem, and body image in patients with an intestinal stoma. Method A descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical study conducted at the pole of the ostomates of the city of Pouso Alegre. The study was approved by Research Ethics Committee of Universidade do Vale do Sapucaí. Opinion: 620,459. Patients: 44 patients with an intestinal stoma. Four instruments were used: a questionnaire with demographic and stomatologic data, the Health Locus of Control Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale/UNIFESP-EPM, and the Body Investment Scale. Statistics: Chi-square, Pearson, Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests. p < 0.05 was determined. Results The majority of patients were over 70 years, 16 (36.4%) were female, 30 (68.2%) were married, 31 (70.5%) were retirees, 31 (70.5%) had an income of 1–3 minimum wages, 32 (72.7%) did not practice physical activity, 18 (40.9%) had an incomplete elementary education, and 35 (79.5%) participated in a support or association group. 33 (75%) participants received the stoma because of a neoplasia; and 33 (75%) had a definitive stoma. In 36 (81.8%) participants, the type of stoma used was a colostomy, and 22 (50%) measured 20–40 mm in diameter; 32 (72.7%) participants used a two-piece device. With regard to complications, there were 29 (65.9%) cases of dermatitis. The mean total score for the Health Locus of Control Scale was 62.84; for the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, 27.66; and for the Body Investment Scale, 39.48. The mean scores for the dimensions internal, powerful others, and chance of the Health Locus of Control Scale were 22.68, 20.68, and 19.50, respectively. With respect to the Body Investment Scale, for the dimensions body image, body care, and body touch, the mean scores were 11.64, 11.00, and 13.09, respectively. Conclusion In this study, the participants showed changes in self-esteem and body image and also showed negative feelings about their body. Ostomized individuals believe that they themselves control their state of health and do not believe that other persons or entities (physician, nurse, friends, family, god, etc.) can assist them in their improvement or cure and, in addition, believe that their health is controlled by chance, without personal or other people's interference.

Objective To evaluate the sociodemographic and clinical factors related to patients with an intestinal stoma and to correlate them with locus of health control, self-esteem and self-image. Method 44 patients with an intestinal stoma participated in the study. The following instruments were used: Scale for Locus of Health Control, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale/UNIFESP-EPM and Body Investment Scale. Results With regard to Locus Health Control variables, sociodemographic variables with alterations were: unemployed (28.13); retirees (27.79); age up to 50 years (28.44); and singles (27.89). Regarding Body Investment Scale, the sociodemographic variables with alterations were: age up to 50 years (21.79); single (19.15) or married (17.53); retired (18.79) or unemployed (19.83); and can read and write (20.13). Regarding Rosenberg-EPM Self-esteem Scale, all sociodemographic variables were altered. Conclusions Ostomized patients presented alterations in the following variables: unemployed, retired, aged up to 50 years and unmarried. There were also alterations in individuals whose cause of the stoma was neoplasia, a temporary stoma, stoma time <4 years, and ostomized non-participants of an association or support group, and who also did not practice physical activities. We conclude from these findings that ostomized individuals who participated in the study and who were included in these variables showed negative feelings about their body and believed that only they could control their health and that the people involved in their care and rehabilitation did not could contribute to their improvement.
