Resumo: This study aims to describe the prevalence and factors associated of physical and psychosocial demands among Brazilian workers. Data were obtained from the 2013 Brazilian National Health Survey. Physical demand was defined as jobs that require intense physical effort or excessive walking, whereas psychosocial demand was defined as involvement in stressful activities. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate the association between demands and health conditions, occupational characteristics, and work conditions. Out of 39,590 participants, 54.4% reported physical demands and 35.5% psychosocial demands at work. After adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, occupational characteristics, and work conditions remained significantly associated with physical or psychosocial workload. The results suggest that in Brazil the work has a high level of physical and psychosocial demands, which are associated with occupational features and health conditions. It is necessary to incorporate work activities as significant factors to investigate the causes of diseases. And the interventions and policies aimed at preventing the negative occupational exposures are urgent, and can contribute to improve physical and psychosocial health at the workplace.

Los datos se obtuvieron de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud de 2013 en Brasil. La exigencia física fue definida como trabajos que requieren un esfuerzo físico intenso o caminar excesivamente. La exigencia psicosocial fue definida como la implicación en actividades que conducen al nerviosismo. Se utilizó una regresión logística multivariada para estimar la asociación entre exigencias y condiciones de salud, características ocupacionales y condiciones laborales. De los 39.590 participantes, un 54,4% informó de exigencias físicas y un 35,5% de psicosociales en el trabajo. Tras el ajuste por características sociodemográficas, las condiciones de salud, características y condiciones laborales continuaron significativamente asociadas a la carga de trabajo física o psicosocial. Los resultados sugieren que en Brasil el trabajo posse una alta exigencia física y psicosocial. Asimismo, esta exigencia está asociada con características laborales y condiciones de salud. Es necesario incorporar las actividades laborales como factores importantes para investigar las causas de enfermedades. Asimismo, son urgentes las intervenciones y políticas con el objetivo de prevenir exposiciones laborales negativas, y pueden contribuir a mejorar la salud física y psicosocial en el lugar de trabajo.O objetivo do estudo foi descrever a prevalência de demandas físicas e psicossociais e fatores associados entre trabalhadores brasileiros. Os dados foram obtidos da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2013. A demanda física foi definida como trabalhos que exigem esforço físico intenso ou caminhadas excessivas. A demanda psicossocial foi definida como envolvimento em atividades que levam ao nervosismo. A regressão logística multivariada foi utilizada para estimar a associação entre demandas e condições de saúde, características ocupacionais e condições de trabalho. Dos 39.590 participantes, 54,4% relataram demandas físicas e 35,5% demandas psicossociais no trabalho. Depois de ajustar para características sociodemográficas, as condições de saúde, características ocupacionais e condições de trabalho permaneceram associadas significativamente com a carga de trabalho física ou psicossocial. Os resultados sugerem que o trabalho no Brasil apresenta níveis elevados de demandas físicas e psicossociais. Essa demanda está associada a características ocupacionais e condições de saúde. É necessário incorporar as atividades laborais enquanto fatores importantes na investigação das causas de doenças. Além disso, são urgentes as intervenções e políticas de prevenção das exposições ocupacionais negativas, podendo contribuir para melhorar a saúde física e psicossocial no local de trabalho.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2021-09-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/7563Reports in Public Health; Vol. 37 No. 9 (2021): SeptemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 37 n. 9 (2021): Setembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/7563/16822https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/7563/16823Patrícia Pinheiro de FreitasMariana Souza LopesAda Ávila AssunçãoAline Cristine Souza Lopesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:30:01Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/7563Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:08:42.406403Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
