A pesquisa foi realizada numa cidade de porte médio do estado de São Paulo com todos os trabalhadores das várias categorias de uma equipe da Estratégia da Saúde da Família. A coleta de dados foi realizada através de entrevistas individuais com um roteiro semi-estruturado. Os dados coletados foram analisados segundo a abordagem sócio-histórica, através da elaboração de núcleos de significação de acordo com o método explicativo de Vigotski. Os resultados revelaram: A identificação dos transtornos de saúde mental é facilitada pela proximidade da equipe com a comunidade através da observação, escuta terapêutica e vínculo com a comunidade; A estrutura familiar é um dos principais fatores de adoecimento em saúde mental para a equipe, a fragilidade ou dissolução dos vínculos familiares e outros aspectos associados à questão social indicam a concepção da equipe sobre o transtorno mental. A equipe faz nexo entre o adoecimento mental e o trabalho nas instituições, ao associar a organização de trabalho corroído pela pressão, intensificação, exploração, assédio moral, e indiretamente quando o sofrimento físico e o desemprego levam ao adoecimento mental. Algumas intervenções são dirigidas diretamente aos usuários, através da escuta e orientação, outras buscam intervir diretamente na empresa e nas instituições de saúde como o INSS, entretanto esse trabalho é solitário inócuo, sem respaldo de uma rede de serviços ou a ação integrada com outros serviços, caracterizando uma falha na rede e o sentimento de impotência. Na unidade, a atuação em saúde mental é caracterizada pelos atendimentos individuais, esporádicos e o trabalho com grupos ...

The survey has been conducted in a medium-sized city of São Paulo with all the workers from various categories of the Family Health Strategy team. The data gathering was conducted through individual interviews with a semi-structured guide. The collected data was analyzed according to socio-historical approach, through elaboration of meaning core following the Vigotski explanation method. The results have shown: The identification of mental health disorders is facilitated by the closeness of the team with the community through observation, therapeutic listening and connection with the community. The family structure is a major factor in mental illness for the team, weakness or dissolution of family ties and other social aspects associated with social issues indicate the team conception on mental illness. The team makes nexus between mental illness and work in institutions, by combining the eroded work organization to the pressure, intensification, exploitation, bullying, and indirectly when the physical suffering and unemployment lead to mental illness. Some interventions are directly given over to users through listening and guidance, others seek to intervene directly in the company and in health institutions such as INSS, however, this work is innocuous solitary, without support of a service network or an integrated effort with other services, featuring a network failure and powerless feeling. In its own unity, mental health care job is characterized by individuals, sporadic and work with limited groups, the focus on drug treatment appears as a solution often used by staff and home visits play an important role in the care of users workers with mental disorders. The routing happens, it is neither effective in mental health ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Magister Social Work -MSW / Heroin usage is on the increase in the Western Cape province of South Africa owing to globalization and to increased access to the drug in this province. The goal of this study is to explore the experiences of coloured heroin users in the Metro South area of Cape Town, which stretches from Simons Town and Muizenberg to Retreat, Lavender Hill, Grassy Park, Parkwood and Wynberg. These individuals have been found to congregate in the Wynberg CBD. The overarching theoretical framework for the purpose of this research is social constructionism and symbolic interactionism, using a qualitative means of inquiry. Snowball sampling was used to recruit prospective participants and data was collected by means of in-depth interviews, with a semi structures interviewing schedule. The questions informed the subsequent themes and categories that arise from the data collection process. Snowball sampling was employed in this case, a non-probability sample, in which participants were recruited via key informants. The sample distribution included 13 participants, 10 of which were heroin users (5 female, 5 male) and the remaining 3 were key informants which contributed to triangulation of the data.

Este estudo se propôs a identificar os paradoxos existentes entre a intenção manifesta pelas empresas de preocupação com a saúde, bem-estar e qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores e a realidade praticada pelas mesmas através da gestão de Recursos Humanos. Os dados foram obtidos com pesquisa documental e tiveram como fonte os seguintes materiais que foram submetidos ao meu enfoque de pesquisa: publicações das melhores empresas para trabalhar de 2007, VII Congresso de stress da ISMA-BR/IX Fórum Internacional de Qualidade de Vida no trabalho, realizado em 2007 e resultados de pesquisas de dissertações da UFRGS publicadas no período de 31/12/01 à 15/05/07 envolvendo o tema saúde e trabalho. A técnica utilizada para análise dos dados foi o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo – DSC (LEFÉVRE e LEFÉVRE, 2003) e a Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 1979). Os pressupostos teóricos que fundamentaram o estudo foram constituídos por um conjunto bastante extenso e diversificado de autores, caracterizando a abrangência e interdisciplinaridade do estudo nas seguintes áreas: psicodinâmica do trabalho, psicologia social, sociologia do trabalho, sociologia da educação e administração de RH. Os resultados obtidos apontam para quinze paradoxos em relação à saúde do trabalhador nas práticas de gestão de RH, que em suma evidenciam que a questão da saúde no trabalho está subordinada à necessidade prioritária de produtividade das empresas. Assim entre a intenção e a prática há uma série de limitações, aqui identificadas como paradoxos, que fazem com que o discurso das empresas de preocupação com a saúde do trabalhador, longe de ser uma realidade, possa ser compreendido como mais uma prática de gestão que visa além de auxiliar na boa imagem da empresa, a submissão do trabalhador à organização. / The purpose of this study is to identify the paradox between company’s manifest intention in health concerning, well being and life quality of labors and the reality practiced through human resource management.

The thesis deals with social work with gypsy clients. The first chapter of the theoretical part 1.1 Social work aimed at the gypsy minority describes the specifics of social work with gypsy clients, which is based on preconditions that social workers should fulfill when working with this target group and their facilities for such work. It aims at the professional approach of the social workers to the clients who are members of the gipsy ethnicity and describes the value system of a social worker. The research proved that the workers approach the clients professionally based on an ethical code. Factors which influence the perception of the clients from the gipsy minority by the social workers became clear from the research. The approach is most commonly influenced by the more difficult communication with the clients and low motivation of the gipsy clients to change their burdensome situation through their own endeavors. The workers do not distinguish their clients according to their membership in a minority but according to the specific problem they wish to help them solve. The biggest problem of the gipsy ethnicity became education. The majority of the workers believe that if the education of the gipsy clients can be improved it will reduce the impact of other social problems.

The final hypothsys were made based on the methodological triangulation, an in-depth analysis of the interviews with the social workers and thier observation and also the burnout syndrom test. The results could be used as a base for an improvement of working conditions of social workers and for identifying the most serious occupational stress factors that occur at the Department of Employment Labor Services and also other office departments dealing with people with disabilities. The research also points out the fact of an extensive number of burnout symptoms among social workers. Finally, this research creates opportunities for further exploration of various topics, especially how to reduce or eliminate the job stressors occurring on the exercise of this profession.
