The object of interest in the paper was the health of Brazilian public higher education teachers. The methodology applied was Integrative Review, with the objectives: 1) to analyze the relationship between the labor situations and their possible consequence on health conditions; 2) to survey the illnesses that have been detected; 3) to describe workloads, based on those publications. The scientific studies were investigated by crossing some related descriptors in ten databases. The survey identified 2,892 publications, 76 fit the selection criteria. The most frequent problems were related to psychological issues, linked to workloads. The labor situations expressed in subjective experiences reported in terms of conditions, management, social-economic policies and University restructuring, permeated by productivism and work overload, proved to be determinant in illnesses and weariness.
