Work context of people with disabilities in the federal public service: contributions of the inventory of work and illness risks

This study aimed to identify the antecedents, effects and gauges of work in the illness process of civil servants with disabilities, who work in the federal public service in the municipality of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, through the application of the Inventory of Work and Illness Risks (ITRA). This instrument consists of 4 scales (EACT; ECHT; EIPST; EADRT;) and aims to draw a profile of the antecedents, effects and gauges of work in illness processes to evaluate some aspects of the relationship between work and process of subjectivation. We interviewed 14 people with disabilities distributed in a total of 6 public institutions belonging to the indirect administration. The main results show that factors which indicate suffering are not representative of damage related to work in the population studied, and the aspects that denote positive experiences, such as "freedom of expression" and "professional achievement", showed higher representativeness among the component factors of the scales used.
