“…A study of minor psychiatric disorders among truck drivers in Brazil and the related stress factors in this category showed that fear of being robbed (64.4%) and having a road traffic accident (50.7%) were the most important causes of fear at work, contributing to increased stress levels. Other statistically significant factors referred to by drivers as stressful conditions were long journeys, heavy traffic and high job demand, combined with low job autonomy and weak social support 36 .…”

This study aims to determine the prevalence and duration of sickness benefit claims due to mental disorders and their association with economic activity, sex, age, work-relatedness and income replacement using a population-based study of sickness benefit claims (> 15 days) due to mental disorders in Brazil carried out in 2008. The prevalence of mental disorders was 45.1 claims per 10,000 workers. Prevalence and duration of sickness benefit claims due to mental disorder were higher and longer in workers aged over 40 years. Prevalence of claims was 73% higher in women but duration of sickness benefit claims was longer in men. Prevalence rates for claims differed widely according to economic activity, with sewage, residential care and programming and broadcasting activities showing the highest rates. Claims were deemed to be work-related in 8.5% of cases with mental disorder showing low work-relatedness in Brazil. A wide variation of prevalence and duration between age, economic activity and work-relatedness was observed, suggesting that working conditions are a more important factor in mental disorder work disability than previously assumed.

“…These variables were considered confounding factors, since both are occupational stressors 23 and exert a negative effect on physical health, such as cardiovascular function. 26 Since this was a cross-sectional study, there is no evidence of cause-effect available for the variables studied.…”

Efeitos do turno irregular de trabalho e atividade física nos fatores de risco cardiovasculares em motoristas de caminhão ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE:To analyze the putative effect of type of shift and its interaction with leisure-time physical activity on cardiovascular risk factors in truck drivers. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was undertaken on 57 male truck drivers working at a transportation company, of whom 31 worked irregular shifts and 26 worked on the day-shift. Participants recorded their physical activity using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire along with measurements of blood pressure, body mass index and waist-hip ratio. Participants also provided a fasting blood sample for analysis of lipid-related outcomes. Data were analyzed using a factorial model which was covariate-controlled for age, smoking, work demand, control at work and social support. RESULTS:Most of the irregular-shift and day-shift workers worked more than 8 hours per day (67.7% and 73.1%, respectively). The mean duration of experience working the irregular schedule was 15.7 years. Day-shift workers had never engaged in irregular-shift work and had been working as a truck driver for 10.8 years on average. The irregular-shift drivers had lower work demand but less control compared to day-shift drivers (p < 0.05). Moderately-active irregular-shift workers had higher systolic and diastolic arterial pressures (143.7 and 93.2 mmHg, respectively) than moderately-active day-shift workers (116 and 73.3 mmHg, respectively) (p < 0.05) as well as higher total cholesterol concentrations (232.1 and 145 mg/dl, respectively) (p = 0.01). Irrespective of their physical activity, irregular-shift drivers had higher total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations (211.8 and 135.7 mg/dl, respectively) than day-shift workers (161.9 and 96.7 mg/dl, respectively (ANCOVA, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Truck drivers are exposed to cardiovascular risk factors due to the characteristics of the job, such as high work demand, long working hours and time in this profession, regardless of shift type or leisure-time physical activity. DESCRIPTORS: MÉTODOS:Um estudo transversal foi conduzido com 57 motoristas de caminhão do sexo masculino que trabalhavam em uma transportadora de cargas, dos quais 31 trabalhavam no turno irregular e 26 no turno diurno. Os participantes registraram sua atividade física por meio do questionário Internacional de atividade física; foi aferida a pressão arterial, calculado o índice de massa corporal e a relação cintura-quadril; e também forneceram uma amostra de sangue dos motoristas de caminhão, em jejum, para análise dos fatores lipídicos. Os dados foram avaliados utilizando modelo fatorial controlado pelas covariáveis: idade, tabagismo, demanda de trabalho, controle no trabalho e apoio social. RESULTADOS:A maioria dos motoristas do turno irregular e do turno diurno trabalhava mais de oito horas por dia (67,7% e 73,1%, respectivamente). O tempo de experiência no trabalho no horário irregular foi de 15,7 anos. Trabalhadores diurno...

RESUMOObjetivo: Determinar a prevalência de transtornos mentais comuns (TMC) e sua associação a fatores sociodemográficos e profissionais em residentes de medicina, enfermagem, nutrição e saúde coletiva da cidade do Recife (PE). Métodos: Estudo transversal foi conduzido, em 2007, envolvendo uma amostra aleatória de 178 residentes que responderam a questões sociodemográficas e sobre a formação profissional e ao Self-Reporting Questionnaire . Calcularam-se as prevalências de TMC e estimaram-se as razões de prevalên-cia (RP) e os intervalos de confiança. Resultados: A prevalência total dos TMC foi de 51,1% e não se observou associação aos fatores sociodemográficos. A prevalência do evento foi 39% maior nos médicos que nos não médicos (p = 0,049) e 46% maior em residentes mé-dicos das especialidades cirúrgicas que entre os de enfermagem, nutrição e saúde coletiva (p = 0,048). Cinco das queixas do SRQ-20 foram mais frequentes no sexo feminino (p < 0,05). Conclusão: Os dados demonstram a elevada magnitude dos TMC nessa população, principalmente nos residentes médicos, e servem para educadores e gestores de serviços de saúde no sentido de viabilizar estratégias para prevenir e recuperar a qualidade de vida dos residentes.
