Abstract:RESUMO O trabalho mediado por plataformas como a Uber vende uma ideia ilusória de ‘empreendedorismo’ para descaracterizar vínculos trabalhistas, sem perder o controle sobre os motoristas. Na pandemia da Covid-19, motoristas de aplicativos arcaram com custos adicionais para adotar medidas de proteção para evitar o risco de contaminação pelo Sars-CoV-2. Estudo descritivo e comparativo conduzido a partir de uma amostra de conveniência com motoristas da plataforma Uber. O instrumento de pesquisa foi a aplicação vi… Show more
“…The working conditions found concern the form of work (outsourced, apps-based, directly), means of delivery (bicycle or motorcycle), platform served, employment link, other jobs performed, hours worked per day and days worked per week, rest time and conditions, bathroom use, meals, and shelter. Since no clear conceptualization of the term was found, the survey of working conditions was carried out based on aspects raised in other studies in the same field (Abilio et al, 2020;Greggo et al, 2022;Manzano;Krein, 2020;Tarrão;Santos;Lourenço, 2022).…”
The COVID-19 pandemic aggravated the scenario of low income, hunger, unemployment, and informality generated by the 2017 Labor Reform and the dismantling of social policies, leading many workers to enter the food delivery business that misses labor rights or protection. Thus, this study aimed at investigating how such working conditions impacted food delivery workers’ health and quality of life in Curitiba, Brazil, during the pandemic according to delivery categories. Field research, based on saturation of discourse, was conducted in 10 delivery points using a semi-structured instrument. Despite mentioning several negative aspects regarding working conditions, most delivery workers perceived a positive quality of life, mainly associated with the possibility of work and financial return. App-based delivery workers felt more intensely the negative impacts on health and quality of life. These findings point to the need for further discussions on how these new contemporary and precarious labor arrangements impact occupational health in different contexts and categories.

“…As condições de trabalho levantadas dizem respeito à forma de trabalho (terceirizada, por aplicativos, de forma direta), meio de entrega (bicicleta ou motocicleta), plataforma atendida, vínculo empregatício, outros trabalhos performados, horas trabalhadas por dia e dias trabalhados por semana, tempo e condições de descanso, uso de banheiro, alimentação e abrigo. Uma vez que não foi encontrada uma conceituação clara sobre o termo, o levantamento das condições de trabalho foi realizado com base nos aspectos levantados em outros estudos do mesmo campo (Abílio et al, 2020;Greggo et al, 2022;Manzano;Krein, 2020;Tarrão;Santos;Lourenço, 2022).…”
Resumo A pandemia de covid-19 agravou as situações de renda, fome, desemprego e informalidade provocados pela Reforma Trabalhista de 2017 e pelo desmonte de políticas sociais, levando muitos trabalhadores ao ramo da entrega de comida sem direitos ou garantias de proteção. Este trabalho procurou investigar as condições de trabalho e o impacto na saúde e qualidade de vida de entregadores de comida de Curitiba/PR, de acordo com as categorias de entrega, durante a pandemia de covid-19. Foi realizada pesquisa de campo em 10 points de entrega, seguindo a lógica da saturação de discursos, com o auxílio de instrumento de pesquisa com perguntas semiestruturadas. Paradoxalmente, apesar da menção a vários aspectos negativos das condições de trabalho, a qualidade de vida foi percebida como positiva por grande parte dos entregadores, sendo associada à possiblidade de trabalho e retorno financeiro. Os aspectos negativos das condições de trabalho e seus impactos na saúde e qualidade de vida foram sentidos com mais intensidade por entregadores de aplicativo. Esses achados trazem a necessidade de aprofundamento da discussão das condições de trabalho nos novos arranjos contemporâneos e precarizados e seus impactos na saúde dos trabalhadores, a partir de diferentes contextos e categorias de trabalhadores.
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) workers providing care to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients in a referral hospital in Pernambuco, Brazil. A descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted with 140 ICU workers from the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital, including physicians, nurses, and nursing technicians. The workers completed a sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire, the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The prevalence of anxiety was 38.6%, with a higher rate among nursing technicians (42.2%). The prevalence of depression was 41.4%, with a higher rate among physicians (46.4%). Younger workers or those who lacked leisure time had a higher rate of anxiety and depression. An association was also found between working both day and night shifts and the presence of depressive symptoms. It is concluded that ICU healthcare professionals are experiencing distress due to intensified work caused by the pandemic, highlighting the importance of mental health prevention and care policies.
