Isto é crucial porque os dados de saúde dos trabalhadores são geralmente sub-notificados, incompletos, e os relatórios oficiais estão longe de fornecer informações precisas sobre as necessidades dos trabalhadores, especialmente para os grupos mais vulneráveis, como os da economia informal ou que mantém emprego informal, os trabalhadores domésticos, crianças que trabalham, entre outros grupos. Assim, as políticas e programas desenvolvidos com base na análise de saúde de todos trabalhadores podem estar mais adequadas para cumprir o princípio da equidade do SUS. Este estudo descreve a SST da Microrregião de Brumado, estado da Bahia, que abrange 21 municípios e 117.651 pessoas ocupadas. Os dados são do Ministério da Saúde e Ministério da Previdência Social, entre outras fontes. Trabalhadores desta região são em sua maioria do sexo masculino (67%), informais (70%) e com grande parte de analfabetos (27%). Na agricultura e na mineração, atividades de alto risco potencial, há grande contingente de trabalhadores empregados (44.707; 37%). A incidência cumulativa de acidentes de trabalho típicos entre os trabalhadores segurados foi 4,1x1.000 em 2005, 3,3x1.000 em 2006 e 4,8x1.000 em 2007, enquanto para as doenças relacionadas ao trabalho foi 6,4x1.000 em 2005, 3,7x1.000 em 2006 e 21,7x1.000 trabalhadores em 2007. A mortalidade por acidentes e doenças relacionadas ao trabalho entre os trabalhadores segurados foi 5,72x100.000 em 2007, inferior à estimada para o estado da Bahia (8,54x100. 000). Foi elevada a proporção de intoxicações por agrotóxicos entre trabalhadores rurais. Especificamente em um ano, 94,34 de 10.000 propriedades rurais relataram ao menos um caso de intoxicação por agrotóxico na região, maior que a estadual (53.65x10, 000). Esses resultados revelam a grande extensão e gravidade de problemas de saúde dos trabalhadores. A atuação das instituições de saúde é ainda incipiente, com cobertura por inspeções em ambientes de trabalho de somente 1% dos trabalhadores formais no período de 2007 a 2009. Recomenda-se o fortalecimento do cuidado à saúde dos trabalhadores, por meio do aumento da cobertura por vigilância das empresas de maior risco (grau definido pelo MTE) e o estabelecimento de programas para os grupos mais vulneráveis como os trabalhadores da agricultura que utilizam agrotóxicos, sejam formais ou informais. / Salvador

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / O monitoramento e a avaliaÃÃo nos serviÃos de saÃde sÃo etapas imprescindÃveis na implantaÃÃo das polÃticas de saÃde. InformaÃÃes em saÃde fidedignas sÃo relevantes para subsidiar o planejamento e a tomada de decisÃes. A EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia, entendida como o mecanismo de acesso primÃrio dos usuÃrios Ãs aÃÃes de saÃde, fornece, por meio dos Sistemas de InformaÃÃo, dados relativos à execuÃÃo de atividades em seu Ãmbito de atuaÃÃo. Este estudo objetivou analisar os indicadores de SaÃde Bucal do Pacto da AtenÃÃo BÃsica no Estado do CearÃ, verificando o percentual de cobertura populacional por equipes de SaÃde da FamÃlia (ESF) e SaÃde Bucal (ESB), a apresentaÃÃo dos indicadores de SaÃde Bucal na sÃrie histÃrica proposta e o modo como as informaÃÃes, que ensejam os indicadores, sÃo fornecidas pelos profissionais responsÃveis. O trabalho constituiu-se de duas fases. Na fase 1 compilou-se dados referentes à cobertura populacional das aÃÃes de SaÃde da FamÃlia e SaÃde Bucal e os indicadores de SaÃde Bucal do Pacto da AtenÃÃo BÃsica preconizados pelo MinistÃrio da SaÃde, no Ãmbito do Estado do CearÃ. Utilizou-se de informaÃÃes relativas à sÃrie histÃrica entre os anos de 2001 e 2007; no ano de 2001 o MinistÃrio da SaÃde iniciou repasse financeiro para os municÃpios, como incentivo para inserÃÃo de cirurgiÃes-dentistas nas equipes de SaÃde da FamÃlia no Brasil. Estes dados foram obtidos em sÃtio eletrÃnico do MinistÃrio da SaÃde e complementados pelos relatÃrios do NÃcleo de AtenÃÃo à SaÃde Bucal da Secretaria da SaÃde do Estado do CearÃ. Foram dispostos em tabelas do Programa Excel, sendo consideradas estatisticamente significantes as anÃlises cujo valor de p fosse menor do que 0,05. Tais dados foram processados no Programa SPSS. Na fase 2, utilizou-se um instrumento (questionÃrio) aplicado aos cirurgiÃes-dentistas atuantes na EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia do Estado, onde se indagou a respeito do conhecimento deles sobre os indicadores de SaÃde Bucal e como costumavam informar as aÃÃes de SaÃde Bucal que realizavam diariamente nas Unidades BÃsicas de SaÃde da FamÃlia (UBASF) e nos demais espaÃos sociais em que atuavam. Os dados da fase 1 foram analisados por intermÃdio de regressÃo linear e associaÃÃo entre variÃveis, cuja anÃlise demonstrou que houve crescimento percentual estatisticamente significante de cobertura populacional por equipes de SaÃde da FamÃlia e SaÃde Bucal.NÃo houve melhoria significante nos indicadores de SaÃde Bucal, evidenciando-se sua estagnaÃÃo no decorrer da sÃrie histÃrica. Observou-se que hà divergÃncias entre a interpretaÃÃo dos objetivos dos indicadores e o registro dos dados relativos Ãs aÃÃes de SaÃde Bucal pelos cirurgiÃes-dentistas atuantes na EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia e as orientaÃÃes do MinistÃrio da SaÃde, havendo a necessidade de serem implementadas medidas de capacitaÃÃo permanente para esclarecer aspectos relacionados aos indicadores de SaÃde Bucal. / Monitoring and evaluation of health services are indispensable steps in the process of implementation of health policies. Trustworthy health information is relevant to subsidize the planning and the decision-making. Familyâs Health Strategy, understood as the primary access mechanism of the users to health actions, provides data related to the implementation of activities within its scope through the information systems. This study aimed to analyze the Oral Health Indicators of the Primary Attention Pact within the State of CearÃ, checking the percentage of the population assisted by the Familyâs Health Strategy and Oral Health Program, the presentation of Oral Health Indicators in the historical series proposed and how the information, which generates indicators, is provided by the professionals in charge. This work consisted of two stages. In stage 1 it was compiled data on the populationâs coverage of the actions of the Familyâs Health Strategy and Oral Health Program and the Oral Health Indicators of the Primary Care recommended by the Ministry of Health within the State of CearÃ. It was used information concerning the historical series between the years 2001 and 2007, when the Ministry of Health began to fund cities, as an incentive for inserting dentist surgeons in the Familyâs Health teams in Brazil. These data were obtained through the website of the Ministry of Health and complemented by the Oral Health Care Department of the Secretary of Health of the State of CearÃ. They were arranged in Excel charts and it was considered statistically significant the differential analyses whose p-value was less than 0.05. The data were processed in the program so-called SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). In stage 2, it was used an instrument (questionnaire) applied to dentist surgeons who participate in the Familyâs Health Strategy in CearÃ, where they were asked about their knowledge about the Oral Health Indicators and how they used to inform the Oral Health actions that they carried out daily in the Basic Units of Health Family and some other social spaces where they worked in. The stage 1 data were analyzed using linear regression and association between variables. It was verified that there was percentage growth of populationâs coverage of the historical series of the Familyâs Health Teams and Oral Health was statistically relevant. There was no statistically significant improvement in the Oral Health indicators, giving evidence of the stagnation of the members during the historical series. It was noticed that there are misunderstandings about the interpretation of the indicators and in the registry of the data related to the Oral Health actions by dentist surgeons operating in the Familyâs Health Strategy and orientation of Ministry of Health, with the necessity of implementation of measures of permanent training to clarify aspects concerning the Oral Health Indicators.

Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent) / Introduction: Children with disabilities and other special needs present unique challenges for oral health professionals in the planning and execution of dental treatment. The oral health of children with special health care needs is influenced by various socio-demographic factors, including their living conditions and severity of the impairment. According to United States (US) Maternal and Child Health Bureau, special health care needs (SHCN) children are defined as “those who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally”. Aim and Objectives: The aim was to determine the oral health status of children with special needs. The objectives were to determine the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal disease and oral mucosal lesions among children with special needs in Khartoum State aged 5 to 15 years old attending educational and rehabilitation institutions. Methodology: A descriptive cross–sectional study was carried out. Data were collected with a data capture sheet that was a modified WHO Oral Health Assessment Clinical Oral Examination Guideline. Demographic variables, dmft, periodontal disease and oral mucosal lesions were recorded. Results: The mean dmft /DMFT scores was 2.02/1.25. The DMFT score increased with age, girls showed higher score than boys and autistic children had the poorest oral health among other disabilities. More than two third of the examined sextants were healthy, less than quarter had bleeding (18.3%) and 5% calculus accumulation. Fissured tongue was the most frequent oral lesion found. Conclusion: Children with special needs in Khartoum State demonstrated a high prevalence of dental caries and periodontal disease and do not receive adequate dental care. There is an urgent need for both preventive and treatment programmes to improve the oral health of children with special needs.

From the 1650s and corresponding with a trade in African slaves, the livelihood, health and life expectancy of indigenous groups were reported to decline as many Zimbabwean settlements changed their identities due to European influence. In this study, human skeletal remains from three archaeological sites from northern Zimbabwe were investigated to compare the health status of the people that it represents, pre-and post-European contact, to ascertain whether this was indeed the case. The Monk’s Kop (A.D. 1270-1285) and Ashford Farms sites (A.D. 1330-1440) date back to a period prior to European contact, whereas the Dambarare site (A.D. 1630-1693) represents a population consisting of both Africans and the Europeans they were in contact with. This study led to the re-discovery of the Monk’s Kop archaeological site and in particular indicated that the remains most probably resemble the high social status members of the society. In the Monk’s Kop’s skeletal collection (n =43), 14% of individuals presented with signs of skeletal pathology while the corresponding figure was 43% in the Ashford Farms individuals (n=7). The Dambarare sample comprised a total of 40 individuals (both African and European ancestry) of which 43% of the Africans had visible signs of skeletal pathology and included the southernmost case reported for trephination in Africa. Although the pre-European contact populations of Monk’s Kop and Ashford Farms therefore seemed to have suffered less (28% combined average) from pathological conditions in comparison to that of the Dambarare individuals of African ancestry (43%), the difference was not statistically significant. Although most preversus post-contact investigations report that the biological and cultural effects on the native population was catastrophic to their health, it seems that the first Europeans (particularly the Portuguese) that came into contact with the previously isolated indigenous northern Zimbabwean population, had a minor effect on the people that they interacted with during the 17th century. The Europeans from Dambarare, in contrast, showed many skeletal signs that reflect a less healthy population which, most probably, was due to both the poor socio-economic conditions in their home country and the impact of a long voyage to Africa. It should be kept in mind that the skeletons may not have represented all of the once living populations. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2015. / tm2015 / Anatomy / PhD / Unrestricted

Esse comportamento, denominado de presenteísmo, é um problema emergente que devido as suas repercussões sociais e econômicas tem despertado a atenção de pesquisadores em diversas áreas e preocupação de gestores por ser difícil de ser percebido. Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de presenteísmo entre os trabalhadores em uma indústria do setor alimentício. Método: Estudo epidemiológico, de corte transversal, com população de 1.224 trabalhadores, utilizando o Stanford Presenteeism Scale ¿ SPS-6 como método de investigação do presenteísmo. Resultados e Discussão: a avaliação do presenteísmo por meio do SPS-6 revelou que 50,9% dos trabalhadores são presenteístas. Foi possível observar que a prevalência do presenteísmo tende a ser a mais elevada nas seguintes condições de saúde: diabetes (83,3%), doença de pele (62,5%), doenças respiratórias (59,1%), doença renal (53,7). As informações obtidas revelaram que entre os trabalhadores presenteístas a prevalência dos sintomas neuropsíquicos (51,5%) é mais elevada, seguido pelos sintomas gastrointestinais (49,3%), sintomas cardiovasculares (46,2%) e sintomas osteomusculares (45,3%). Também foi possível observar maior frequência de presenteísmo entre trabalhadores que não praticam atividade física e com sobrepeso e obesos (52%). Conclusão: Os resultados encontrados por meio do SPS-6 evidenciam elevada prevalência de presenteísmo entre os trabalhadores da indústria pesquisada. Entre os presenteístas observou-se associação significativa entre obesidade e sedentarismo afetando o desempenho no trabalho. A introdução de programas de educação em saúde, relacionado com alimentação adequada e prática de exercícios poderá contribuir para a redução do presenteísmo nesta empresa / Abstract: to work ill has been a common behavior for workers.
