“…Nestas, além de eventuais condições inapropriadas e insalubres de exercício da atividade, são frequentes os problemas relacionados, por exemplo, ao consumo excessivo de álcool e à depressão (DOOLEY et al, 2000). Analogamente, jornadas excessivas costumam associarse a uma ampla variedade de impactos na saúde, incluindo acidentes de trabalho, fadiga, problemas osteomusculares, problemas cardiovasculares, entre outros (SPURGEON et al, 1997;LANDSBERGIS, 2004).…”

Resumo: Este trabalho analisa as diferenças no estado de saúde entre e dentro dos grupos de ocupados agrícolas e não agrícolas no Brasil, utilizando medidas de autoavaliação do estado de saúde captadas no suplemento da PNAD (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios) de 2008. As análises baseiam-se na composição socioeconômica dos ocupados agrícolas e não agrícolas e nas estimativas de equações simultâneas para captar as relações não lineares entre saúde, renda e jornada de trabalho. Um dos pressupostos do trabalho é que a baixa prevalência de saudáveis entre os ocupados agrícolas estaria associada, sobretudo, à composição socioeconômica desse grupo, e não à maior insalubridade a que os ocupados das atividades agrícolas estariam submetidos em condições socioeconômicas semelhantes às dos não agrícolas. Analogamente, a desigualdade no estado de saúde seria menor entre os ocupados agrícolas devido aos hábitos mais homogêneos, não só no que se refere ao tipo de atividade, mas também em relação à qualidade de vida e ao acesso a uma série de itens de consumo, típico das localidades menos desenvolvidas onde as atividades agrícolas prevalecem.Palavras-chaves: estado de saúde, mercado de trabalho agrícola e não agrícola, desigualdade.

“…These are categorized as quantitative workload (1-3), qualitative workload (4-6), physical workload (7), job latitude (8-10), application of technology (11), interpersonal conflict (12)(13)(14), workplace environment (15), and appropriateness of work (16,17). The section on psychological stress response (Table 2) has a total of 18 items to measure positive responses (activity (1-3)) and negative responses (anger (4-6), fatigue (7)(8)(9), tension/anxiety (10)(11)(12), and depression (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)). The section to assess physical stress response (Table 2) has a total of 11 items.…”

Objective: To examine a possible relationship between obesity, job stress, and eating behavior in male Japanese workers. Method: A questionnaire on life style, job stress, and eating behavior was conducted with 208 male workers aged 19-60 years (33.7712.3 years) in a manufacturing industry in Japan. Height and weight were measured in an annual health examination. The relation between obesity, job stress, and eating behavior were analyzed between 141 nonobese subjects (BMI p24.9 kg/ m 2 ) and 67 obese subjects (BMI X25.0 kg/m 2 ). Results: Obesity was associated with psychological stress responses of tension/anxiety, especially tension. Tension/anxiety was also related to job demands positively and job latitudes negatively. The eating behaviors of subjects with tension/anxiety resembled those of the obese subjects. Conclusions: The present study suggests that obese male Japanese workers tend to be in a stressful state from high job demands and low job latitudes in the workplace. Such stressful conditions may affect eating behaviors to eat much and contribute to obesity. Stress management might be necessary in the workplace for the prevention of obesity among male Japanese workers.

“…Negative job characteristics have been examined in depth with reference to cardiovascular diseases (e.g., Hemingway & Marmot, 1999;Landsbergis, Schnall, Belkic, Baker, Schwartz, & Pickering, 2001;Schnall, Landsbergis, & Baker, 1994;Siegrist & Rugulies, 2002). Comparatively less is known about the relationship between work and mental disorders, in particular with regard to established diagnoses (as opposed to dimensional measures of depressive states).…”

Most previous studies concerning the associations between work and mental ill-health have used dimensional self-report questionnaires for mental health problems (e.g., depressive symptoms). This study contributes to occupational health research by providing standardized clinical diagnoses based on DSM-IV criteria. A total of 2329 employees (age 18 Á65 years) took part in a structured, computer-assisted clinical interview (DIA-X/M-CIDI). Further, they specified whether their job was characterized by physical workload, overtime, or stress, and evaluated whether they feel impaired by each job characteristic. Results show that substance abuse/dependence (including nicotine dependence) was the highest prevalent mental disorder in German employees (12 month prevalence: 14.4%; only alcohol and illicit substance abuse/dependence: 4.9%) followed by anxiety (12.0%) somatoform (9.7%), and affective (9.3%) disorders. Sequential logistic regression analyses showed significant associations between the presence of stress at work and affective and somatoform disorders. Furthermore, feeling impaired by stress at work was strongly associated with anxiety, affective, somatoform disorders, and substance abuse/dependence. Beside work, personal characteristics, primarily gender, were associated with mental disorders in employees. However, except for affective disorders, gender did not modify the association between job characteristics and mental disorders. Taken together, results corroborate the necessity of considering mental disorders at work. Further studies to define the relation between work and mental disorders in employees are strongly recommended and should include objective analyses of job characteristics.
