“…The difference between average scores of physical and mental health's aspects of injured people's life quality and uninjured individuals was meaningful (P < 0.05). The results of the study demonstrated that preventive rules for the development of aspects linked to the physical domain are essential both in the workplace and outside the work environment (19). A survey on the occurrence of occupational accidents and health-related quality of life of hospital workers using the SF-36 questionnaire revealed that there was no significant differences relationship between injury and healthrelated quality of life although there were high average values in most of the analyzed domains, and the lowest score observed was vitality and bodily pain (17).…”

Background: Occupational accidents are a major problem in industries and work environments. Objectives: This study aimed to study the relationship between workers' life quality and occupational accidents. Materials and Methods: This historical cohort study was conducted on 114 wood industry workers (living in the North of Iran) involved in a job related accident over the past 10 years. Among those with no job-related accidents, 118 workers were randomly selected so that both groups were comparable in terms of age, work history and type of job. Standardized form of SF36 for the Iranian culture was used to determine the life quality of workers. Furthermore, demographic factors were added to the SF36 questionnaire. Data were analyzed with the two independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney and Chi-square test using the SPSS 19 software. Results: In this survey average scores for different aspects of life quality in the case group and control group were as follows, physical functioning 67.23 ± 2.413 and 81.99 ± 2.193 and mental health 59.12 ± 16.76 and 71.52 ± 18.14, respectively. There was an obvious and significant difference (P < 0.05) between physical and mental health of injured workers' life quality compared to the uninjured group (control group). The results showed that all eight domains of life quality except limitations due to emotional problems were significantly different between the study and control groups. Conclusions:The results of this study show that unsafe work condition and high-risk behavior of workers lead to job-related accidents which affect worker's health and their life quality.

“…Apesar da qualidade de vida ser um construto amplo, percebe-se que a capacidade está associada tanto aos fatores relacionados ao trabalho quanto fora do trabalho, envolvendo várias dimensões da vida dos trabalhadores 20 . Os resultados desta revisão sistemática foram semelhantes aos de outros estudos de revisão da mesma temática, os quais abordaram os fatores preditivos e determinantes da capacidade para o trabalho de trabalhadores de forma geral e de trabalhadores maiores de 65 anos de vários países [49][50][51] .…”

REVISÃO DE LITERATURARESUMO | Contexto: A capacidade para o trabalho é um conceito que envolve condições físicas, mentais e sociais, além de ser um construto subjetivo que poderá acompanhar trabalhadores em nível individual ou coletivo. Objetivos: Descrever o perfil das produções científicas sobre capacidade para o trabalho entre trabalhadores do Brasil e identificar a prevalência e os fatores associados à capacidade para o trabalho. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática realizada na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde e na Scopus. Os estudos selecionados foram aqueles publicados de 1996 a 2013, tendo como população-alvo os trabalhadores do Brasil e que utilizaram o índice de capacidade para o trabalho (ICT). Resultados: As produções científicas se concentraram nas áreas da Saúde Pública e de Enfermagem, nas regiões Sudeste e Sul do país e com trabalhadores de Enfermagem e do setor de produção. A prevalência da capacidade para o trabalho inadequada (0,0 a 81,2%) variou entre as diferentes categorias profissionais. Os fatores associados à capacidade para o trabalho foram os individuais, relacionados à saúde, e aqueles referentes às condições de trabalho ambiental e organizacional. Conclusões: Com base nos resultados e considerando a capacidade para o trabalho inadequada, um agravo evitável no campo da saúde do trabalhador, são necessárias ações e estratégias nos ambientes de trabalho para prevenção e promoção da saúde dos trabalhadores brasileiros. Também são necessários maiores investimentos em pesquisas longitudinais e de intervenção com diversos grupos de trabalhadores do Brasil. Palavras-chave | saúde do trabalhador; avaliação da capacidade de trabalho; envelhecimento prematuro. ABSTRACT | Context:The ability to work involves physical, mental, and social conditions, as well as being a subjective construct that can be related to workers at the individual or collective level. Objectives: To describe the profile of scientific productions on the ability to work among Brazilian workers and to identify the prevalence and factors associated with the ability to work. Methods: This is a systematic review carried out in the Virtual Health Library and in Scopus. Studies selected were those published from 1996 to 2013, whose target population was Brazilian workers and which used the work ability index (WAI). Results: The scientific productions focused on the fields of Public Health and Nursing, in the Southeast and South regions of the country, and on workers in the Nursing and production fields. The prevalence of inadequate work abilities (0.0 to 81.2%) varied among the different professional categories. Factors associated with the ability to work were individual, health-related, and those related to environmental and organizational working conditions. Conclusions: Based on the results and considering inadequate work ability, which is an avoidable problem in the worker's health field, actions and strategies are necessary for prevention and promotion of health among Brazilian workers. Further investments are also needed i...

“…It is thus correlated to the current scenario of the aging population, resulting in a greater burden of chronic diseases on Brazilian health care, with a decreased ability to work at older ages, which, combined, cause negative eff ects on quality of life (1,6) .…”
