Abstract(s)
O trabalho desenvolvido, realizado numa empresa multinacional do setor industrial, teve como objetivos principais: Avaliar a incidência de queixas músculo-esqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho; Avaliar a compatibilidade homem-trabalho na empresa em estudo; Avaliar a qualidade de vida no trabalho na organização em estudo.
Para o efeito, foi aplicado um inquérito por questionário a uma amostra de 49 trabalhadores afetos à área operacional da empresa em estudo.
O questionário aplicado encontra-se dividido em 4 instrumentos: 1.ª parte: Caraterização sociodemográfica; 2.ª parte: Inventário da Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (IQVT); 3.ª parte: Compatibilidade do Trabalho (CT) e 4.ª parte: Questionário Nórdico Músculo-Esquelético (QNME).
Pretendeu-se, com a aplicação destes instrumentos, avaliar a importância e a frequência da qualidade de vida no trabalho na empresa, avaliar a compatibilidade homem-trabalho e ainda aferir a presença de sintomas músculo-esqueléticos. Além disso, foram efetuadas diversas correlações entre as variáveis dos diferentes instrumentos aplicados (IQVT, CT e QNME) e entre estas e as variáveis sociodemográficas, no sentido de se perceber de que forma as mesmas influenciam a QVT e a CT.
Os resultados obtidos permitem verificar que relativamente à QVT, a média global da escala de “Importância” (4,44-grau de importante) é superior à da “Frequência” (3,56-grau de frequente) em todas as dimensões. No que se refere à CT, os resultados obtidos com a aplicação do instrumento demonstram que o grau de exigência do trabalho é de nível moderado (3,00) para os trabalhadores. Quanto aos resultados alcançados com a aplicação do QNME, é possível verificar que, cerca de 80% da amostra em estudo apresenta queixas relacionadas com as LMERT. Quanto às possíveis correlações entre os instrumentos aplicados e variáveis sociodemográficas, não se verificou qualquer correlação.
Através dos resultados alcançados, foi ainda possível elencar algumas recomendações de melhoria, com o intuito de apoiar a organização na implementação de medidas que visem a melhoria das condições de trabalho e de saúde dos trabalhadores.
Abstract: The work, carried out in a multinational company in the industrial sector, had as main objectives, to evaluate the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms at work, the worker-job compatibility and the working life quality. To achieve these objectives, a questionnaire was used on a sample of 49 employees affects to the operational area of the company. The questionnaire is divided into four sections: Part 1: Socio-demographic characterization; Part 2: Quality of Life at Work Inventory (QLWI); 3rd part: Labor Compatibility (LC) and 4th part: Nordic Musculoskeletal (NM). It was intended, with the application of this questionnaire, to evaluate the importance and frequency of worker’s QLW, assess the Worker-Labor Compatibility and still measure the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms. In addition, different correlations have been made between the different sections used (QLWI, WLC and NM) and between sociodemographic variables, in order to understand how they influence QLW and LC of the workers. The results, show that in relation to QLW, the global average of the range of "Importance" (4,44-importance level) is superior to the "Frequency" one (3,56-frequecy level), in all dimensions. Regarding the LC, the results with the application of the section, demonstrate that the degree of labor requirement is moderate (3,00) for the workers. As for the results achieved with the application of QNME it can see that about 80% of the sample under study have complaints related to MSDs. As for possible correlations between sections applied and sociodemographic variables, there was no correlation. Through the results achieved, it was also possible to list some recommendations for improvement, in order to support the organization in implementing measures to improve working conditions and workers health.
