Worker Health Promotion and Protection: Integrative Literature Review
| Summary: | Insertion as a resident of the Multidisciplinary Residency Program in Public Health allowed us to observe that the implementation of actions in Occupational Health is hampered by political, economic and cultural aspects. Thus, the objective is to analyze the actions/practices for the Promotion and Protection of Occupational Health developed by Primary Care (PHC) and Secondary Health Care. This is an Integrative Literature Review. The Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) database was used, using descriptors related to the theme. The final sample consisted of 30 articles. There were several practices that cover the following areas of activity: Care for Collective and Individual Health Needs and Management and Organization of the Work Process. In this article, the actions relating to the first area are presented, thus, at this moment, 15 publications are exposed. Care for Collective Needs covers Health Education and Occupational Health Surveillance (VISAT). This first included lectures, training and campaigns and the provision of information materials. Specific themes such as social control and situations of vulnerability were addressed, most often using active methodologies. The second included investigating work environments, mapping the reference territory and applying protocols. The situational diagnosis of living conditions with subsequent development of an intervention plan could be identified in some studies. Furthermore, the notification of illnesses and diseases was predominant. Several practices aimed at workers were identified. However, the transformations that have occurred in work processes and the repercussions caused on the health of individuals, it is necessary to effectively incorporate actions aimed at workers in the daily lives of PHC teams and specialized services, in addition to their articulation in a network; promoting and encouraging practices that seek comprehensive care. |
