Health is understood here as a historical and social construction, fraught with the contradictions between capital and labor. The field research was conducted in two public institutions in the city of Jaragua-Go, a network of state and other municipal and articulated the empirical data collection through questionnaires, semi-structured interview, daily observation and analysis of the institutions documents. These data were analyzed in light of the principles of dialectical historical materialism, based primarily on Marx, Mészáros, Mascarenhas, A., Frigotto, Saviani and Paro, seeking to articulate the research object and determining its multiple historical, political, economic, social and cultural . By analyzing these data according to the theoretical frameworks adopted understand that overcoming the existing limits that teachers can raise better working conditions, thus contributing to improving their health depends on establishing a political identity, able to uncover the processes disposal of the capitalist mode of production, based on the understanding that the work is very founding of the humanization of individuals. / Este estudo está vinculado à linha de pesquisa Educação, Trabalho e Movimentos Sociais do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Goiás. E tem como objeto de pesquisa a saúde dos trabalhadores da educação, visando investigar como se dá a relação entre o trabalho docente e a saúde dos professores, na atual conjuntura da precarização e alienação do trabalho. A Saúde é aqui compreendida como uma construção histórica e social, permeada pelas contradições entre capital e trabalho. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada em duas instituições públicas da cidade de Jaraguá-Go, uma da rede estadual e outra da rede municipal e articulou o levantamento de dados empíricos por meio de questionários, entrevista semi-estruturada, observações do cotidiano das instituições e análise de documentos. Esses dados foram analisados a luz dos princípios do Materialismo Histórico Dialético, fundamentados principalmente em Marx, Mészáros, Mascarenhas, A., Frigotto, Saviani e Paro, buscando articular o objeto de pesquisa e seus múltiplos determinantes históricos, políticos, econômicos, sociais e culturais. Ao analisar estes dados de acordo com os referencias teóricos adotados entendemos que a superação dos limites existentes para que os docentes possam angariar melhores condições de trabalho, contribuindo assim para melhora de sua saúde, passa pela constituição de uma identidade política, capaz de desvendar os processos de alienação do modo de produção capitalista, partindo da compreensão de que o trabalho é fundante da própria humanização dos indivíduos.

It aimed to understand which main elements present in this organization has influenced the implementation process of the PNH. The PNH proposes to engage and enhance workers, managers and users, in order to qualify and cause changes in management and health care process through concrete and objective elements and valuing the subjective aspects of the labor relations in health services. The research appears as a case study, and as a methodological resource, it was adopted the documental research and conducting semi-structured interviews, which enabled the analysis from thematic groups. The PNH begins to be thought in the HUOP from the contracting process for the achievement of goals and financial transfers. Therefore, it was necessary to create a Working Humanization Group (GTH), named as Humanization Commission (CH), and this has become the space responsible for humanizing actions in this service. It is noteworthy that some provisions of PNH have been deployed in HUOP as openness and flexibility of schedules of visits, the presence of a companion in most hospital wards and ambience projects. Other provisions of PNH that involves changing process of management and include the discussion of the work and its consequences for the health of workers have not been prioritized. Thus the main difficulties for implementation of the HNP in this context stands out the model of centralized and vertical management, the absence of direct participation of management and segments of users in CH. Therefore, the management model change becomes an essential element to institute legitimate participation processes that include the different segments, aiming to establish more democratic practices that promote the necessary strategies for the implementation of the PNH in hospitals / Neste estudo propõe-se discutir como tem ocorrido a implantação da Política Nacional de Humanização (PNH) em um hospital geral público de ensino denominado Hospital Universitário do Oeste do Paraná (HUOP). Tem como objetivo compreender quais os principais elementos presentes nessa organização que têm influenciado no processo de implementação da PNH. A PNH propõe envolver e valorizar trabalhadores, gestores e usuários de hospitais com vistas a qualificar e provocar mudanças nos processos de gestão e cuidado em Saúde, através de elementos concretos e objetivos e, também, valorizando os aspectos subjetivos presentes nas relações do trabalho nos serviços de Saúde. A pesquisa configura-se como um estudo de caso, tendo recorrido, como recurso metodológico, à pesquisa documental e à realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas, o que possibilitou a análise a partir de núcleos temáticos. A PNH começa a ser pensada no HUOP a partir do processo de contratualização para o cumprimento de metas e repasses financeiros. Assim, houve a necessidade de criar a um Grupo de Trabalho de Humanização (GTH), grupo denominado, neste serviço, como Comissão de Humanização (CH), sendo que tal comissão se tornou o espaço responsável pelas ações de humanização no hospital. Destaca-se que alguns dispositivos da PNH têm sido implantados no HUOP, como abertura e flexibilização dos horários de visitas, a presença de acompanhante na maioria das alas de internação e projetos de melhorias de ambientes. Outros dispositivos da PNH que envolvem os processos de mudanças no modelo de gestão que contemplam a discussão do trabalho e suas consequências para a saúde dos trabalhadores não têm sido priorizados. Assim, entre as principais dificuldades para a implementação da PNH, nesse contexto, destacam-se: o modelo de gestão centralizado e verticalizado, a ausência da participação direta da gestão e dos segmentos dos usuários na CH. Assim, portanto, a mudança do modelo de gestão torna-se elemento essencial para instituir processos de participação legítimos que contemplem os diferentes segmentos com vistas ao estabelecimento de práticas mais democráticas e que favoreçam as estratégias necessárias para a implantação da PNH no âmbito hospitalar.

Cancer affects everyone; it does not distinguish between age, race, gender or social background. When a child is diagnosed with cancer, it does not only affect the child, but also the family system as a whole. The focus of this study was on the psychosocial aspects that are affected in the family system once a child diagnosed with cancer. These psychosocial aspects included the emotional impact, the spousal impact, the role changes that occur in the family system, the financial impact, the impact on siblings as well as the impact on religion and spirituality. These aspects were investigated by the researcher during the applied study. This applied study used a qualitative approach with a collective case study research design. The research population of this study included families who have a child diagnosed with cancer, who was treated at Nicus Lodge Cancer Treatment Centre in Pretoria which is a CANSA affiliate. The staff at Nicus Lodge selected participants who met the criteria based on purposive sampling, on behalf of the researcher. The researcher used semi-structured interviews and an interview schedule in order to obtain the participants’ experiences of their child diagnosed with cancer and the psychosocial effects it had on them as a family system. Nine participants participated in the study. The interviews were recorded with the permission of the participants and then later transcribed. Creswell’s steps for qualitative data analysis were implemented. By utilizing these measures and tools, the researcher was able to formulate findings from which conclusions and recommendations could be made. From the findings, the following themes and sub-themes were identified, demonstrating the psychosocial effect that a child diagnosed with cancer has on the family system and answering the research question: Theme 1: Protective measures with the sub-themes of religion, support structures and personality. Theme 2: Restrictive measures with the sub-themes of role changes, single parent, multiple children and date of diagnosis. Theme 3: Financial related aspects with the sub-themes of employment/unemployment, supportive employer, transport and medical aid. The findings demonstrated that many different aspects of a family system are affected when a child is diagnosed with cancer. It also demonstrated that a family system that had the necessary protective measures, were able to cope more effectively and maintain their quality of life when their child was diagnosed with cancer. The findings furthermore showed specific focus areas that a social worker in the health care setting, specifically in the oncology field, should focus on which hinder family systems from coping effectively. These focus areas enable the social workers to provide adequate supportive services to the families of a child diagnosed with cancer. Supportive services are imperative when dealing with a family of a child diagnosed with cancer, and this is one of the recommendations of the study and a focus area for future studies. Recommendations from this study can be used by social workers in the health care field to better understand the challenges that families of a child diagnosed with cancer experience and how to effectively address their needs. Social workers can also utilize the recommendations to find ways to make their services known to the communities and improve their intervention and supportive services to these families. It is important for social workers to improve awareness in the community and to provide them with the necessary resources to cope better with the situation. To better understand this paper, certain key terms were used by the researcher. / Dissertation (MSW)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / tm2015 / Social Work and Criminology / MSW / Unrestricted

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive disorder that affects movement, muscle control and balance. Second only to Alzheimer's disease, PD is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders in the United States (Lai & Tsui, 2001:135), affecting approximately one million people in the U.S. alone (Parkinson's disease Foundation [PDF], 2009). While the cause of Parkinson's disease remains unknown, there are certain known risk factors associated with the disease. One of the risk factors is increasing age. PD is most frequently associated with older adulthood, affecting one in 100 Americans 60 years and older (PDF). Over the next five decades, the incidence of PD is expected to triple, as the average age of the population increases (Lai & Tsui, 2001:135). Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive disorder, with no known cause or promising cure. While substantial information is known about the medical aspect of Parkinson's disease, little is known about the illness experience of living with the disease. The goal of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of people living with Parkinson's disease. The guiding research question was: What are the experiences of people living with Parkinson's disease? A qualitative research approach was followed, with a collective case study research design. The population for this study included people who are in the late stage of Parkinson's disease, thus being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease before 2012 and who are receiving support services from Parkinson's Association of South Africa (PASA). Non-probability purposive sampling was utilized to generate a sample. Ten participants who met the criteria were selected for this study. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with participants. Interviews were voice recorded with the permission of the participants and were transcribed. The data gathered were analysed by the researcher and themes and sub-themes were identified. The research findings were presented and critically discussed. Literature control and verbatim quotes were used to support the findings. The conclusions of this study reflected that the experiences of people living with Parkinson's disease are complex. Throughout the study it was found that Parkinson's disease impacts significantly on the physical, psychological and social well-being of people living with this disease in a number of ways. The recommendations offered by this study can be used by professionals working in the field of chronic, geriatric and neurodegenerative illnesses to understand the experiences of people living with Parkinson's disease. / Mini Dissertation (MSW)--University of Pretoria, 2016. / Social Work and Criminology / MSW / Unrestricted

Approximately 1,6 percent of Swedish employees work under a consultancy firm, which is a fast-growing market. The responsibility of consultant’s work environment is in accordance with Swedish legislation on systematic work environment (SAM) divided between consultant- and client company. This study investigated how 1) consultants experience that their consultant- and client company employers, respectively, work with work environment health; 2) both consultant- and client company employers, respectively, experience their work with implementing work environment/health practices based on SAM. Data collection consisted of 12 in-depth interviews with 8 consultants, 3 consultant managers, and 1 workplace manager. Based on thematic analysis of interviews with consultants three themes were identified: Communication and relation with managers; Justice and inclusion; Managers’ involvement in workplace health. Based on thematic analysis of interviews with managers four themes were identified: Working with SAM; Work environment goals, Relation between consultant- and workplace managers, Relation with consultants. Findings showed the importance of supportive and present leadership, workplace justice and inclusion for consultants’ wellbeing. This responsibility of consultant’s daily work environment was mainly taken by workplace managers. Conclusions are that clear communication and division of responsibility between consultant- and workplace managers regarding consultants’ work environment/health is vital for well-functioning SAM.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-03-30 / O estudo relata e analisa uma pesquisa-intervenção que realizei em uma unidade de saúde da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Campinas, onde atuo como apoiadora distrital. O empírico da tese começou em dezembro de 2008, com um pedido para que eu, como apoiadora, trabalhasse a “comunicação” na equipe. A intervenção, visando a atender tal demanda, cumpriu duas etapas principais. Na primeira, foram realizadas quatro “oficinas de comunicação”, envolvendo 69 funcionários da unidade. A partir das oficinas, foram mantidos encontros com os trabalhadores, escolhidos pelos grupos como facilitadores da comunicação, para trabalhar sobre o material produzido e viabilizar as propostas de solução por eles apresentadas. O trabalho transcorreu durante os seis meses seguintes, tendo como momentos fortes as reuniões gerais mensais para as quais todos os funcionários eram convidados, com suas agendas liberadas e a unidade trabalhando com um plantão de atendimento para os usuários que lá aparecerem. Foi um período de intensa conversão entre os trabalhadores e busca de reconstrução de relações e modos de se produzir o cuidado. A segunda etapa constituiu-se de “oficina de humanização”, preparada a partir de entrevistas com os trabalhadores e a gestora da unidade de saúde, sobre seu entendimento a respeito da humanização e de sua avaliação sobre o cuidado oferecido pela unidade de saúde. O desafio metodológico foi transitar da função institucional que exerço a partir de marcado lugar de poder, autoridade e de “exterioridade” em relação à equipe de trabalhadores, para uma inserção mais íntima e “interna” às suas relações micropolíticas, tentando produzir, com eles, reflexões e ações voltadas para a humanização das relações que regem seu cotidiano e, ao mesmo tempo, das relações que estabelecem com os usuários na produção do cuidado. Uma pesquisa implicada, portanto, porque tive que lidar, o tempo todo, com a tensa relação entre minha localização na hierarquia das relações de autoridade formal da organização - e a racionalidade, interesses e tempo que lhe são próprios -, com a dinâmica e modo de funcionamentos da equipe. O estudo apresenta e problematiza o nada simples movimento de interiorização/exteriorização em relação ao campo micropolítico quefoi sendo investigado, modificado e produzido, em intenso compartilhamento com os trabalhadores. Na tradição inaugurada pela pesquisa-ação e consolidada no campo da sociologia reflexiva, em particular nos escritos de Alberto Melucci, tive a preocupação de ir produzindo, o tempo todo, um diálogo teórico com autores que, de modo mais ou menos direto, contribuíssem para ir clareando os caminhos abertos pela investigação, em particular o conhecimento que ia sendo apropriado em ato pelos atores organizacionais, modificando suas relações e os modos de se produzir o cuidado. Uma intervenção que produzisse, ao mesmo tempo, o “objeto” e a teoria para pensar o “objeto” que estava sendo produzido. A tese foi a configuração da construção de um mapa. O mapa é composto por meridianos e paralelos que se cruzam o tempo todo e vão reconstruindo o caminho das minhas intervenções, sempre em diálogo com autores que contribuíam para uma melhor compreensão dos problemas práticos que ia enfrentando. Os meridianos produzem a “verticalidade” do mapa, delimitando “campos de observação e/ou reflexão”, recortes-referência, sempre atravessados pelos paralelos que vão produzindo a sua “horizontalidade”. Os meridianos surgem com a intervenção, são produzidos nela, sendo irregulares no seu tamanho e configuração. Três são os meridianos que compõem o mapa: 1- minha construção como sujeito epistêmico: apoiadora pesquisadora; 2- o CS da intervenção: cenário de sofrimento e conflitos; 3- a intervenção. Os três meridianos são atravessados por cinco paralelos: reflexões metodológicas; reflexões teóricas sobre o problema da pesquisa; reflexões sobre o cuidado; reflexões sobre a gestão e reflexões sobre o contexto. Os paralelos, apesar de preservarem sempre o mesmo enunciado nos três meridianos, modificam-se na especificidade de cada um deles. Estive sempre atenta às linhas de fuga produzidas no cruzamento dos paralelos com os meridianos, buscando nelas indicações sobre outros modos de pensar e fazer o que eu não experimentara antes. / This study describes and analyses an intervention-research that I conducted in one of the Health Centers of the Municipal Health Secretariat of Campinas, Brazil, where I work as a district supporter. The empirical phase of the thesis began in December 2008 after I was asked to work on the “communication” in the team. The intervention took two main steps, aiming at reaching that goal. First there were four “communication workshops”, which involved 69 employees of the unit. After the workshops meetings were held with the employees chosen as communication facilitators by the groups to work on the material produced and to manage the proposals for solving the problems that were presented. The work went on for the following six months and the highlights were the monthly general meetings. All the employees were invited for the meetings, their agendas were cleared and the unit had a group on duty just in case a patient might need it. That was a period when the workers proved intensive changes while searching for the reconstruction of relationships and ways of care. The second step consisted of “humanization workshops” based on interviews with the workers and the manager at the Health Center about the humanization and their evaluation about the care offered at the Heath Center. The methodological challenge was to move from my institutional role of power, authority and “externality” regarding the team of workers to a closer and inner insertion of micro political relationships, trying with them to bring up reflections and actions upon the humanization of their daily relationships and, at the same time, of their relationships with the patients as far as care is concerned. Therefore this was a participatory action-research, because during all the time I had to deal with the tense relationship between my position in the hierarchy of the formal authority of the organization and the rationality, interests and timing of the research itself as well as with the team.s dynamics and ways of working. The study presents and discusses the complex movement of internalization/externalization concerning the micro political field, which was investigated, modified and produced intensely together with the workers. Based on the tradition started by the action-research and consolidatedin the reflexive sociology, especially in Alberto Melucci.s writings, I was during all the time concerned with the production of a theoretical dialog with the authors that could in a more or less direct way contribute to clear the paths opened by investigation and especially by the knowledge gotten by the organizational actors who were modifying the relationships and approaches of providing care. I was concerned with an intervention that could provide at the same time the “object” and the theory to think over the “object” that was being produced. The thesis was the setting up of a map. The map consists of meridians and parallels that intersect all the time while rebuilding my interventions always keeping the dialog with the authors that contributed for a clearer understanding of the practical problems I faced. The meridians make the “verticality” of the map and define the “fields of observation and/or reflection”, as reference clippings. They are crossed by the parallels that make the “horizontality”. The meridians come up by means of the intervention in which they are produced and they are irregular regarding size and configuration. There are three meridians in the map: 1- my construction as epistemic subject: from being a supporter to being a researcher; 2- The Health Center of the intervention: a scenery of suffering and conflicts; 3- the intervention. The three meridians are crossed by five parallels: methodological reflections; theoretical reflections upon the problem of the research; reflections upon the care; reflections upon management and reflections upon the context. Though the parallels always preserve the same statement in the three meridians, they are different according to each respective specificity. I have always paid close attention to any vanishing line at each intersection of meridians and parallels in search for clues leading to other ways of thinking and doing which I had never experienced before. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

- 193 - Abstract This dissertation theses describes the topic of company health-care services. The thesis provides a complex analysis of providing company health-care services with particular focus on the connection of these services with the employment relations and the legal instruments governed by the Labour Code. The thesis focuses in particular on the topic of medical examinations and medical reports, as well as the unfitness to work due to health-related reasons as a reason for termination of employment or other employment-law consequences. Besides an analysis of the current legislation, the theses further deals with the current case law, and in particular the judicial decisions on medical reports and their review by administrative and civil courts. The thesis also describes related legal instruments in the field of personal data protection and liability for damages, and provides a short comparison of the analysed legal regulation and the regulation of public service.

PRAZERES, T. J. Na costura do sapato, o desmanche das operárias: um estudo das condições de trabalho e saúde das pespontadeiras da Indústria de Calçados de Franca (SP). 2010. 196 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências) Programa de Pós-Graduação em Saúde da Comunidade, Departamento de Medicina Social, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, 2010. O mundo do trabalho, nas últimas décadas, foi palco de grandes transformações organizacionais e tecnológicas que modificaram os processos e as relações de trabalho, resultando no aumento dos contratos precários e temporários e na intensificação da jornada de trabalho, aliada à depreciação salarial e à exploração do trabalho em domicílio. Nesse contexto, observa-se um significativo aumento de adoecimentos relacionados ao trabalho e suas precárias condições, que atingem principalmente a classe trabalhadora feminina, devido às características e qualidade do trabalho a ela destinado. A escolha do trabalho na indústria calçadista francana como objeto de estudo deveu-se ao fato de nesta atividade se observar facilmente o resultado dessas mudanças, em especial na seção de costura mecânica (pesponto), onde há maior emprego de mulheres. Tendo como pano de fundo este contexto de mudanças, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi investigar o trabalho de mulheres que realizam tarefas de pesponto de calçados em unidades produtivas de diferentes portes, no município de Franca e tentar estabelecer relações entre as condições de trabalho e os problemas de saúde por elas relatados. A pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, teve como principal técnica de coleta de dados a entrevista. Foram realizadas 30 entrevistas com trabalhadoras, o que permitiu reconstituir o processo de trabalho e relacionar as condições de trabalho com os problemas de saúde relatados. A análise dos dados da pesquisa denunciou um efeito nefasto do trabalho das pespontadeiras em sua saúde, caracterizado por sofrimentos de ordem física, como fortes dores no corpo, lesões por esforços repetitivos e outros sofrimentos decorrentes das más condições de seus trabalhos, e também de ordem psíquica, como estresse, tristeza, irritação, ansiedade, além de sentimentos de insatisfação e desvalorização no trabalho, sendo que tais sofrimentos, somados às demais consequências de seus trabalhos esvaziam o sentido da vida em todas as esferas do cotidiano, possibilitando a compreensão do preço pago por essas trabalhadoras na busca de sobrevivência. Essa realidade mostrou-se ainda mais agravante quando a atividade laboral é realizada fora do espaço fabril, pela precarização das condições desta, passando esse sofrimento, a coexistir com outros problemas invisíveis do ponto de vista epidemiológico, mas maléfico à vida e à saúde dessas mulheres que vivem nesta situação. / PRAZERES, T. J. In the shoe sewing, the female workers unmake: a reseach of the work conditions and health of the female sewing workers in the footwear industry of Franca (SP). 2010. 196 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências) Departamento de Medicina Social, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de são Paulo, 2010. Nowadays it is deeply lived a period of organizational and technological transformations that modifies the processes and the work relations wich is possible to notice the increase of precarious and temporary work contracts and the intensification of the workdays, all of them allied with salary depreciation and household labor exploration. In this context it is observed a significant increase of illness related to work and its precarious conditions that mainly reach female work class because of its directed characteristics and job quality. The choice of the research about the work in the footwear industry in the city of Franca is explained by the fact that in this activity it can be easily viewed the results of these transformations, especially in the mechanic sewing sector, where female work is largely employed. Using these transformations contexts as primordial basis, the purpose of the research was to investigate the labor of women that work in mechanic sewing sector of different scales of productions units in the city of Franca by the connection of the work with health problems mentioned by female workers. The qualitative research had as main technique of data collection the interview. 30 of them were applied to female workers allowing to reconstitute the process of labor as much as relating the work conditions with health problems mentioned during the interview. The data analysis of the investigation exhibited a disastrous effect in the health of sewing female workers. These effects can be represented by physical order suffering as strong body aches, repetitive strain injury and other agonies generated by labor bad conditions as much as psychosocial aspects as stress, sadness, anger, anxiety and work dissatisfaction and depreciation feelings. All these symptoms added with other job consequences turn female sewing workers life meaningless allowing the comprehension of the price paid by these workers when hunting for survival. This reality become worse when the labor activity is done out of the manufacture space because of its precariousness conditions, creating a coexistence among suffering and other invisible problems by a epidemiological point of view that still are prejudicial to the life and health of these women that live in this situation.

People spend much of their timeat work and health is affected by how we experience our everyday work situation. Health in the workplace is important for public health and seems to improve the occupational health of theemployees. The pace of work and requirements have hasincreased at work and it's not equal accepted to have an obstacle that makesyour work capacity decreases. Despite this, there are health factors that enable us meet therequirements and can maintaingood health in the workplace. Theaim of the studywas to see if there has beena change in healthcare workers work-related health over time. The Method entailed analysis of the existing data materials researchersfrom Kristianstad University have developed through cross-sectional studies in hospitals insouthern Sweden during the fouroccasions between 2005-2009. The result shows thatthe reported work-related health has improved markedly over the years within the professional categories. By looking at thevarious health factors, there wasa opportunity to see if the factors affect the occupational groupsdifferent. Conclusion, based on the results, it can be shown thathealthcare workers work-related health has been positively affected by various health factorswhich have enhanced in the workplace. Health promotionis therefore important for thepositive development of the work-relatedhealth. / Människan tillbringar en stor del av livet på arbetet och hälsan påverkas av hur vi upplever vår vardagliga arbetssituation. Hälsa i arbetslivet är därför ett viktigt folkhälsomål som verkar för att förbättra den arbetsrelaterade hälsan hos anställda. Arbetstempot och kraven har ökat ute på arbetsplatserna och det är inte lika accepterat att ha något hinder som gör att din arbetsförmåga minskar. Det finns hälsofaktorer som gör att vi klarar av kraven och kan behålla en god hälsa i arbetslivet. Syftet med studien var att påvisa om det har skett en positiv eller negativ förändring i sjukvårdspersonalens arbetsrelaterade hälsa genom att studera vilka faktorer som har förändrats under en fyraårs period. Metoden innebar analys av befintligt datamaterial som forskare från Högskolan Kristianstad har tagit fram genom tvärsnittsstudier på två olika sjukhus i södra Sverige under fyra tillfällen mellan åren 2005-2009. Resultatet visar att den rapporterade arbetsrelaterade hälsan har förbättrats markant mellan åren inom yrkeskategorierna. Genom att titta på olika hälsofaktorer fanns det möjlighet att se om de olika faktorerna påverkar yrkesgrupperna olika. Slutsats, utifrån resultatet kan det visas att sjukvårdspersonalens arbetsrelaterade hälsa har påverkats positivt vilket relateras till olika hälsofaktorer har förbättrats på arbetsplatsen. Det hälsofrämjande arbetet är därmed viktigt för att kunna fortsätta få en positiv utveckling av den arbetsrelaterade hälsan.
