“…(20) Specifically in relation to the pattern of hazardous use or dependence symptoms, 44% (n=32) of the participants (n=72) fell into this consumption pattern. This percentage is greater than the percentage identified in previous studies among general workers (13.4% for migrant workers in Florida (21) and 13.7% for industry workers in Tanzania (22)) and among public officials in Brazil (12.7% for health workers (10) and 13.5% for transport workers). (11) These studies, however, were not specifically designed for maintenance workers.…”

“…This result corroborates the findings of previous studies that addressed the variables frequency and quantity together. (10,24,25,30) The higher use of alcohol by men has been pointed out in studies conducted in different regions of the world. (10,21,22,31) This tendency is attributed to some cultural and physiological aspects.…”

“…(3)(4)(5)(6) Some researchers have investigated the sociodemographic factors associated with alcohol use among workers; (7,8) however, studies with the specific population of maintenance workers were not identified. Most prior studies on alcoholism among workers (1,4,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) chiefly consider hazardous use or dependence symptoms without specifically analyzing factors such as frequency of consumption or binge drinking. According to the World Health Organization, binge drinking, also known as heavy episodic drinking, is the consumption of high levels (60 grams or more) of alcohol on a single occasion.…”

“…(2) Consequently, people engaged in productive activities are increasingly resorting to daily alcohol consumption, which eventually causes decreased productivity, changes in work, interpersonal, social, and family relations, and damage to their health. (1,3) Several authors have conducted studies to identify professions with working conditions that promote alcohol consumption, such as gravediggers, nurses, truckers, street cleaners, and self-employed workers. (3,(4)(5)(6) In addition, socially under-privileged activities, work in dry, hot or polluted locations, and positions that cause mental or physical fatigue leading to burnout have been associated with the use of alcohol as relief for tension and suffering.…”

Objective: To analyze alcohol consumption among public maintenance workers and identify the associated sociodemographic factors. Methods: This is a quantitative cross-sectional study conducted with the public maintenance workers of a university in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identifi cation Test (AUDIT). Results: It was found that 78% of the workers had consumed alcoholic beverages in the last 12 months. Of these workers, 43% were low-risk consumers, 50% were heavy drinkers, and 7% showed a pattern of consumption that is indicative of dependency. Moreover, 54% reported they had four or more drinks and 82% reported they were binge drinkers. The factors associated with consumption were years of schooling, position, gender, income, and skin color, and the consumption of four or more doses was associated with the position of manual laborer. Conclusion: It was identifi ed that the prevalence of workers with "hazardous use" or "dependence symptoms" was greater (in descriptive terms) than the prevalence identifi ed in a major national survey. Years of schooling was the most relevant demographic factor since the chances of "hazardous use" or "dependence symptoms" increased by 20% as each year of schooling decreased. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar o consumo de álcool entre trabalhadores públicos da manutenção e identifi car os fatores sociodemográfi cos associados. Métodos: Estudo quantitativo transversal, realizado com trabalhadores públicos da manutenção de uma universidade do interior do estado de São Paulo. Foi utilizado um questionário de dados sociodemográfi cos e o Teste para Identifi cação de Problemas Relacionados ao uso de Álcool (AUDIT). Resultados: Identifi cou-se que 78% dos trabalhadores consumiram bebidas alcoólicas nos últimos 12 meses. Dentre os participantes não abstêmios, 43% apresentaram consumo de baixo risco, 50% eram bebedores abusivos e 7% se encontravam no padrão de consumo indicativa de dependência. Destaca-se que 54% referiram o consumo de quatro doses ou mais quando bebiam e 82% dos participantes referiram consumo em binge. Os fatores associados ao consumo foram anos de estudo, função, gênero, renda e cor e o consumo de quatro doses ou mais foi associado com a função de trabalhador braçal. Conclusão: Identifi cou-se que a prevalência do consumo de trabalhadores no padrão "consumo abusivo ou provável dependência" foi maior (em termos descritivos) do que a identifi cada em um dos principais levantamentos nacionais. Os anos de estudo foi o fator sociodemográfi co de maior relevância, uma vez que, cada ano a menos de estudo aumentava cerca de 20% as chances de "consumo abusivo ou provável dependência".

RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar a Qualidade de Vida e os fatores associados em servidores aposentados por invalidez de uma universidade pública. Material e método: Estudo analítico realizado com 40 servidores aposentados por invalidez entre 2000 e 2014 de uma universidade pública brasileira. Foi utilizado um questionário para obtenção dos dados de caracterização dos participantes e o Short Form Health Survey (SF36v2) para avaliar a qualidade de vida. Para análise estatística utilizou-se regressão linear múltipla pela técnica de Bootstrap. Resultados: Os aposentados apresentaram escores médios de qualidade de vida de 42,3 (DP 12,1) no componente físico e 41,1 (DP 16,4) no mental. As menores percepções nos domínios de qualidade de vida estiveram associadas sobretudo às doenças crônicas, enquanto que as melhores percepções de alguns domínios foram associadas ao lazer e possuir relacionamento conjugal. Conclusão: Os participantes apresentaram uma qualidade de vida insatisfatória. Faz-se necessário o controle das doenças crônicas, estímulo aos hábitos de vida saudáveis e promoção de saúde, a fim de melhorar a qualidade de vida destas pessoas.

ABSTRACTObjective: To evaluate the Quality of Life and the associated factors in civil servants retired due to disability. Method: Analytical study with 40 retired public employees due to disability from a Brazilian public university between the years 2000-2014. A questionnaire was used to obtain the data characterizing the participants, and the Short Form Health Survey (SF36v2) was used to evaluate their quality of life. For statistical analysis, multiple linear regression and bootstrapping were used. Results: Disabled retirees presented mean scores of 42.3 (DS 12.1) in the physical component and 41.1 (DS 16.4) in the mental component. The lower perceptions in the domains of quality of life were mainly associated with chronic disease, while the highest perceptions of some domains were associated with leisure and being in a marital relationship. Conclusion: The participants presented an unsatisfactory quality of life. It is necessary to control chronic diseases, stimulate healthy living habits and promote health in order to improve the quality of life of these people.
