Resumo: | The aim of this study was to analyze how community health agents evaluate the work context and possible factors that contribute to their suffering/illness. This was a cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative-qualitative study carried out with health agents from 13 municipalities in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in 2014. The ‘Work and Risk of Illness Inventory’ sociodemographic questionnaire and interview were used to collect data. The data were analyzed through content analysis. The situations of suffering were related to the lack of professional recognition, an excessive pace, work overload, conflicts with the community, lack of resolution of actions, unavailability of materials and inputs, in addition to the geographic location of the health unit and of the users’ homes, type of health strategy, and management. It was concluded that the health agent’s working environment can cause suffering/illness among these workers. |

Se trató de un estudio transversal, descriptivo, de enfoque cuantitativo y cualitativo, con agentes de salud de 13 municipios de la región central del estado de Río Grande do Sul, Brasil, en el año 2014. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó un cuestionario sociodemográfico, el “Inventario de trabajo y riesgo de padecimiento” y entrevista. Los datos se estudiaron mediante el análisis de contenido. Las situaciones de sufrimiento se relacionaron con la falta de reconocimiento profesional, ritmos excesivos, sobrecarga de trabajo, conflictos con la comunidad, falta de resolutividad de las acciones, no disponibilidad de materiales e insumos aunados a la ubicación geográfica de la unidad de salud y de las residencias de los usuarios, tipo de estrategia y gestión de la salud. Se concluyó que el contexto de trabajo del agente de salud puede resultar en sufrimiento/padecimiento de estos trabajadores.O estudo que deu origem a este artigo teve por objetivo analisar como o agente comunitário de saúde avalia seu contexto de trabalho e os possíveis fatores que contribuem para seu sofrimento/adoecimento. Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, de abordagem quantitativo-qualitativa, com agentes de saúde de 13 municípios da região central do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, no ano de 2014. Utilizaram-se para a coleta de dados um questionário sociodemográfico, o ‘Inventário de trabalho e risco de adoecimento’ e entrevista. Os dados foram examinados por meio da análise de conteúdo. As situações de sofrimento relacionaram-se ao não reconhecimento profissional, ritmos excessivos, sobrecarga de trabalho, conflitos com a comunidade, não resolutividade das ações, indisponibilidade de materiais e insumos somados à localização geográfica da unidade de saúde e das residências dos usuários, tipo de estratégia e gestão da saúde.
