0170/2023 - Associações entre as características sócio-demográficas e de saúde dos trabalhadores do Ministério da Saúde e COVID-19 Associações entre as características sócio-demográficas e de saúde dos trabalhadores do Ministério da Saúde e COVID-19
O estudo objetivou descrever características sócio-demográficas e de saúde dos trabalhadores do Ministério da Saúde e possíveis associações com o trabalho afetado pela Covid-19. Estudo observacional, descritivo e transversal, realizado entre julho e outubro de 2021. Participaram 821 trabalhadores (67,6% mulheres e 32,4% homens), 53,3% da raça/cor branca, 66,7% com pós-graduação, 38,7% com renda de 5 a 10 salários-mínimos. 65,4% referiram ter alguma doença, 69,2% tinham plano de saúde, 64,5% consumiam bebida alcoólica, 6,1% fumavam e 67,4% praticavam atividade física, 53,8% e 52,2% consideravam sua saúde física e mental boa, respectivamente. Para 81,8% o trabalho foi afetado pela pandemia. Os fatores associados ao trabalho afetado pela pandemia, após controle das variáveis de confundimento, foram escolaridade e saúde mental. Segundo 55% os aspectos emocionais representam a variável que mais afetou o trabalho. Os resultados apontaram características dos trabalhadores do Ministério da Saúde que podem contribuir para o planejamento de ações de proteção e promoção da saúde. São necessários investimentos em pesquisas relacionadas aos trabalhadores da saúde não diretamente da “linha de frente” da Covid-19, mas fundamentais para a gestão da crise em tempos de pandemia.
