Worker’s health in the context of family health strategy: integrative literature review

ABSTRACT

Objective

To identify the production of knowledge about Worker’s Health in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) based on the national scientific literature.

Method

Integrative literature review. The search was carried out in October 2019 and updated in April 2020, in the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), through the Virtual Health Library (VHL) portal.

Results

754 publications were found in which the final sample of 19 articles was obtained. The analysis culminated in the construction of three categories: Actions aimed at Continuing Education; Environmental conditions and work overload and; Illness and mental and emotional overload of workers.

Conclusion and implications for practice

The insertion of the line of health care for workers in the FHS is still fragile, both with regard to actions aimed at FHS workers and for other workers in the territory. The scarcity of studies points to the need to expand professional and managerial initiatives that are able to meet the needs of professionals in the territory, as well as those who work in the units.
