Saúde do trabalhador na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande: a perspectiva dos servidores

Abstract

This dissertation aims to identify and study the health of the average worker at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG). For this reason, we chose to carry out a qualitative/descriptive study, having the University as the locus of the research. The topic is discussed based on the study of the average workers’ health operationalized by FURG contemplating their medical records, the current debate over the workers’ health care, the implement of health policies in the work environment, the view of the servers in relation to the workers’ health care and the attention to health given by the University. The methodological procedure used was a semi-structured interview and to limit the number of participants, the saturation criterion was used. This data is presented by two guided themes: the concept of workers’ health care among the servers from FURG and their perception about the attention to health given by the University. The results of this investigation indicate that the health of the worker shows several consequences in their professional life and have a direct repercussion in their personal life as well, also indicating that the University plays an important role so that the workers’ health care should be operationalized to the interests of theservers.
