ANTUNES, Marcos Henrique and MORE, Carmen Leontina Ojeda Ocampo. Retirement, elderly health, and worker health: an integrative review of the brazilian literature. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.3, pp.248-258. ISSN 1984-6657. https://doi.org/10.17652/rpot/2016.3.681.
This study aimed at presenting an integrated review of the Brazilian scientific production on the issues of retirement, elderly health, and worker health. The SciELO and LILACS data bases were searched for articles published between 2004 and May 2015. Search keywords used were retirement, elderly health, and worker health, for which 82 articles were found. After verifying the previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria, 20 articles were selected for analysis. Results showed a predominance of studies discussing the interface between retirement and elderly health, suggesting a lack of publications exploring the relation between retirement and worker health, as well as between elderly and worker health. The need is highlighted for publications dealing with these issues, enabling a better understanding of the relationship between these issues, fostering policies and actions directed towards this population in different social spheres, within which lie the contexts of work and organization.
Keywords : Retirement; elderly health; worker health.
