LEITE, Wilza Karla dos Santos et al. Presenteeism in the footwear industry: an analysis of the workloads. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.1, pp. 1804-1814. ISSN 1984-6657.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/RPOT/2022.1.22829.

Presenteeism represents the fact of being at work in adverse health and well-being conditions. The objective was to analyze the factors related to health complaints and severity of recurrence among workers in the footwear industry over a two-year period. A total of 9106 cases were investigated, in which the physical loads were assessed using the Occupational Repetitive Actions method, and the psychological loads using the Job Stress scale. Univariate models were used to verify the risk of illness and the effects in terms of recurrence. Tasks present a risk for musculoskeletal disorders and low decision latitude for workers; women, productive sectors, and the second shift of work have a higher recurrence estimate; dysfunctions of the neuromusculoskeletal system and prescription of muscle relaxants are among the most recurrent; and, the illness is seasonal, increasing with time and demands. Complaints may be related to inappropriate range of motion, short cycles, repetitiveness, and low autonomy.

Keywords : occupational diseases; working conditions; musculoskeletal disorders; pain.
