Abstract:

This article presents the main results of a study developed in a Graduate Program, between 2016 and 2018, with all workersthe Intra-Hospital Commission for Donating Organs and Tissues for Transplants, of a Public Tertiary Hospital, in which the general proposal was to analyze the organization and the work process of this team, trying to investigate if there was mental wear in the workers involved. This is an exploratory research on a qualitative basis in the field of Worker’s Health, with a focus on Work-Related Mental Health, in which the material ed for the study, obtained through a bibliographic survey, participant observation, social questionnaire and semi-directed individual interview, was subjected to thematic content analysis and referred to the theoretical category of mental wear and tear. The organization and work process analysis showed that workers are subject to risks of biomechanical, biological and mental health accidents. This condition characterizes the wear process of these workers, in particular the mental wear, which can lead to health loss. Nevertheless, workers are emotionally connected to work, which can be a source of sublimation, providing pleasure and satisfaction.
