Abstract:

Sociological studies indicate a malaise due to the forms of use of time in contemporary societies. This study aimed to develop a device that combines a quantitative instrument on time use, with a qualitative technique of interview, seeking to reveal possible relationships between time and health. Field research was conducted with nursesa hospital in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. The workers recorded the schedules of activities over the course of a week, through the use of a booklet of activities, adaptedtime-use diaries. The interviews were inspired on self-confrontation so as to lead workers to observe their own time through a colored image that identified the distribution of activities along the week. The device allowed to investigate how workers perceive their own time and how they relate it to health, considered in a broad sense. Among the issues brought by the group investigated as a source of discomfort and malaise, are the professional work overload, long time to others that articulates to a short time for him/herself and the simultaneity of activities especially related to housework, thus revealing a strong component of gender relations. The potency of that device as an investigative way of the relations between work and health indicates its suitability in studies with other groups of workers.
