Análise da Política de Saúde do Trabalhador e da Trabalhadora (PNSTT) no contexto da Paraíba: uma visão a partir dos profissionais dos CERESTs

Abstract

The present study aimed to conduct an analysis of the National Workers' Health Policy (PNSTT) in light of Ergology, taking into consideration the political, social, and structural aspects that intersect the experiences of professional workers at the Workers' Health Reference Center (CEREST). This is a qualitative research in worker health, with semi-structured interviews conducted with professionals from different CERESTs in Paraíba. From the interviews, a gap between the prescribed and the actual regarding the PNSTT was observed, as well as the difficulties faced by the professional workers of CERESTs in their activities. Additionally, it highlights how these professional workers experience their health-disease processes within a context of precarization and flexibilization, and how they act in their reality, utilizing self-practices to continue their fight for worker health. There is an urgent need for the improvement of actions and policies related to mental health, for both user-workers and professional-workers of CERESTs
