This study aimed to assess psychosocial risk factors and Minor Mental Disorders (MMD), as well as the possible effects of the pandemic on 85 healthcare workers working in two hospitals in the city of Campinas, SP (Brazil). This was an exploratory-descriptive, cross-sectional study, conducted through convenience sampling, utilizing an online platform. The study employed a Sociodemographic and Occupational Questionnaire, as well as the SRQ-20 and COPSOQ II instruments. The results indicated a risk level for emotional demands, cognitive demands, and work pace. Suspicion for MMD was 65.9%, being moderately associated with Quantitative Demands and Emotional Demands. The group that perceived a worsening of the work routine had a significantly higher score in the suspicion of MMD, as well as being more subject to emotional demands, cognitive demands, Demands for hiding emotions and quantitative demands. It is concluded that healthcare professionals who worked on the front line in the Covid-19 pandemic were subject to several psychosocial risk factors for the development of MMD. Awareness of these factors enhances the understanding of the challenges and needs faced by this group of professionals. It is hoped that his contribution will support future studies aimed at further exploring these issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The integration of occupational risk management initiatives and health promotion and well-being in the workplace poses a challenge to organizations from different sectors., Objective: Cross-cultural adaptation of the Dimensions of Corporate Well-Being Scorecard (DCWS) to the Brazilian Portuguese language., Method: The process of cross-cultural adaptation of the Dimensions of Corporate Well-Being Scorecard to the Brazilian Portuguese language evolved along six steps: translation, reconciliation, back-translation, revision by internal expert committee, revision by expert panel (pretest) and final revision., Results: The stringent protocols adopted in the present study resulted in a satisfactory and adequate instrument to analyze programs which target workers' health, safety and well-being at organizations operating in Brazil., Conclusion: The Brazilian version of DCWS, entitled Questionário sobre as Dimensões do Bem-Estar Corporativo (QDBC) represents an advance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of integrated actions for health promotion and workers' well-being in different work environments.

Rural workers represent the typical population of workers in the Brazilian Pantanal, their work environment being characterized by exuberant fauna and flora, but also countless hazards. The aim of the present study was to analyze work, health and disease aspects of rural workers in Pantanal and the corresponding risk factors. It consists in an integrative review of studies published from 2006 to 2016 located in databases Regional Library of Medicine (BIREME), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), MEDLINE, PubMed, Periódicos Eletrônicos em Psicologia (PePSIC), the journal portal and dissertation database of the Brazilian Federal Agency of Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES), dissertation databases of Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Católica Dom Bosco (Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul) and Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul, and Google Scholar. We retrieved 27 publications, being 18 scientific studies, 2 PhD and 5 MA dissertations and 2 e-books. Evidenced hazards include accidents involving animals, work overload, and exposure to weather conditions, viruses, bacteria and chemicals, among others. The results point to the need to implement actions considered in public policies for prevention, health promotion and recovery, with particular focus on safety and health at work.

Background: Broad-encompassing approaches to the evaluation, documentation and discussion of workplace health assets are needed to implement effective interventions and promote health and well-being among workers through effective efforts in programs and initiatives to maintain and improve workplace health and safety., Objective: To perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the Indicators of Integration (II) scorecard to the Brazilian Portuguese language to enable its use in Brazil and thus provide organizations a means to evaluate the integration of workers' health and well-being programs, policies and practices., Methods: We followed scientific recommendations described in previous studies and carried out the process of adaptation along six steps: translation, reconciliation of translations, back translation into the original language, revision of the Portuguese version by an internal expert committee, pretest with an expert panel, and final review., Results: The methods applied resulted in an adequate instrument for self-evaluation of the integration of workers' health and well-being programs and practices in organizations; the adapted version conserves the properties of the original., Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the II scorecard - entitled Indicadores Integrados de Práticas de Saúde na Organização (IIPSO) - obtained in the present study is appropriate to be administered and to measure the implementation and integration of health, safety and well-being actions.
