Abordagens da terapia ocupacional na interface com saúde e trabalho: revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

This study aims to identify the theoretical and methodological approaches adopted more scientific production of Occupational Therapists in the area of Occupational Health and through a literature review of the literature. Specifically, it aims to identify possible scientific production gaps of Occupational Therapy in the area of health and labor, with the purpose of stimulating future publications in this particular area of expertise as well as know the interdisciplinarity of Occupational Therapy and other sciences that interface in healthcare and work. The review was carried out in two major journals of Occupational Therapy in Brazil: Occupational Therapy Journal of the University of São Paulo (USP) and Occupational Therapy Notebooks of Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), published from 2000 to 2014. We used themselves as online search descriptors in February 2015, the following terms: Occupational Health, Ergonomics, RSI / MSDs, Gymnastics, Biosecurity and psychodynamics of the work. The search resulted in the general survey of 52 articles, 30 articles were analyzed second inclusion criteria, 23 articles and 07 articles USP UFSCar. The second data were grouped and organized the following criteria: year of publication and theoretical and methodological approaches adopted. After analyzing the data, the result shows that the publications on the subject begin in 2002 and fluctuates, interspersing years more publications and smaller numbers. The years 2002, 2003, 2009 and 2012 were those who had a greater number of publications. It is also observed the predominance of work in the area of Occupational Health and published in Occupational Therapy Journal of USP. Articles produced in two journals show that the most discussed theoretical approaches are: Ergonomics, AET - Ergonomic Analysis of Work and Psychodynamic Labour. We conclude that the outlook of the scientific production of articles in journals of occupational therapy linked to theoretical and methodological approaches in the Health and Work interface is still scarce, lacking be expanded. It is hoped that the knowledge of such a scarcity of scientific production in these journals encourage professionals to produce scientific research, discussing theories and exposing practices, as thus give greater visibility to the work of the Occupational Therapist at the interface with the Health and Job.
