0266/2025 - Trinta anos da Revista Ciência e Saúde Coletiva e a Saúde do Trabalhador: características e desafios contemporâneos Trinta anos da Revista Ciência e Saúde Coletiva e a Saúde do Trabalhador: características e desafios contemporâneos
A Revista Ciência e Saúde Coletiva consolidou-se como espaço de excelência na difusão do conhecimento científico em Saúde e Trabalho. No marco dos 30 anos da revista, este artigo apresenta uma reflexão crítica sobre os avanços, desafios e novos cenários para a Saúde do Trabalhador/a (ST), a partir de suas publicações. Foram analisados artigos entre 1998 e 2024, com base em dados do SciELO e dos arquivos da C&SC. No período analisado, foram publicados 292 artigos em ST, dos quais 171 consistem de estudos empíricos voltados a categorias ocupacionais específicas, com destaque para trabalhadores da indústria (14%), dos serviços de saúde (12,9%) e trabalhadores rurais (9,9%). As publicações apresentam abordagens teórico-metodológicas diversas, com predomínio de estudos qualitativos (35,9%), epidemiológicos (32,7%) e em políticas de ST (17,1%). Observou-se ausência de estudos sobre temas recentes como trabalho remoto e gestão algorítmica, além da invisibilidade de grupos como quilombolas, povos originários, trabalhadores domésticos e LGBTQIA+. Tais lacunas evidenciam desigualdades étnico-raciais, de gênero e epistemológicas, refletidas na sub-representação de temas e grupos. A análise reafirma o papel da C&SC na valorização da ST e na promoção de conhecimento inclusivo e transformador, com potencial para fortalecer políticas públicas e garantir equidade na saúde dos trabalhadores.

Abstract:
Science and Collective Health Journal has become a recognized reference in the dissemination of scientific knowledge in the field of Health and Work. As part of the journal's 30th anniversary, this article presents a critical reflection on the advances, challenges, and emerging scenarios in Workers' Health (WH), based on its publications. Articles published between 1998 and 2024 were analyzed using data from SciELO and C&SC archives. In this period, 292 articles on WH were published, of which 171 were empirical studies focused on specific occupational groups, with particular emphasis on industrial workers (14%), healthcare workers (12.9%), and rural workers (9.9%). The publications featured diverse theoretical and methodological approaches, with a predominance of qualitative studies (35.9%), epidemiological studies (32.7%), and studies on WH policies (17.1%). A lack of research on emerging topics such as remote work and algorithmic management was noted, along with the invisibility of groups such as quilombolas, Indigenous peoples, domestic workers, and LGBTQIA+ workers. These gaps highlight ethnic-racial, gender, and epistemological inequalities, reflected in the underrepresentation of specific topics and groups. The analysis reaffirms C&SC's role in promoting the value of Workers' Health and fostering inclusive and transformative knowledge with the potential to strengthen public policies and ensure equity in workers' health.
