Resumo:
Condições de saúde dos trabalhadores da atenção primária ainda são pouco estudas no Brasil. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o padrão de morbidade auto-referida por trabalhadores de Equipes de Saúde da Família (ESF) na macrorregião nordeste de Minas Gerais. Realizou-se estudo transversal, com questionários auto-aplicáveis, contendo dados sociodemográficos, condições de trabalho e de saúde para todos os trabalhadores das ESF. A morbidade auto-referida foi considerada a partir da Classificação Internacional de Cuidados Primários, versão 2 (ICPC-2). Foram coletadas informações de 1.731 trabalhadores em 204 unidades básicas de saúde. O grupo foi formado predominantemente por agentes comunitários de saúde, do gênero feminino. A prevalência de pelo menos um problema de saúde foi de 26,1% para mulheres e 18,3% para homens. Os principais problemas de saúde foram relacionadas aos sistemas circulatório, músculo-esquelético, respiratório, endócrino-metabólico e nervoso. As variáveis associadas a problemas de saúde, após a análise múltipla, foram sexo feminino, idade de 30 anos ou mais e tempo na equipe igual ou superior a 5 anos. A morbidade referida pelos trabalhadores da ESF mostrou-se semelhante a observada para a população em geral, destacando a necessidade de estratégias de promoção da saúde também para esses trabalhadores.

Abstract:
Health conditions of workers in the primary health care network are still little studied in Brazil. The aim of this study was to describe the pattern of self-reported morbidity by workers in Family Health Teams (FHT) in the northeast macro-region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. We carried out a transversal study, with self-applicable questionnaires, including socio-demographical data, labor and health situations to all workers in FHT. Self-related morbidity was categorized with the use of the International Classification of Primary Care, version 2 (ICPC-2). Information was collected from 1,731 workers in 204 primary care facilities. The group was formed predominantly by community health workers and women. The prevalence of at least one health problem was 26.1% for women and 18.3% for men. The main health problems were related to circulatory, muscular-skeletal, respiratory, endocrine-metabolic and nervous systems. The variables associated to health problems, after multiple analysis, were the feminine gender, age of 30 years old or more and time in the team equal to or superior to 5 years. The morbidity reported by the workers of the FHT is similar to that observed for the general population, highlighting the need for strategies to promote health as well for these workers.
