Quality of Life and psychophysiological burden of ceramic production workers from the far South of Santa Catarina

ABSTRACT In the Southern region of the state of Santa Catarina are concentrated the largest ceramic companies in the Country. The objective of the study was to diagnose the psychophysiological burden and the Quality of Life of these workers. This is a cross-sectional study with 189 production workers. It was used NASA-TLX and WHOQOL-brefs. The total cognitive load was high for the vast majority. The Quality of Life proved to be regular for 60.8%. The environmental domain proved to be the most unfavorable. By knowing the work constraints, the stimulus for the implementation of health promotion actions and prevention of grievances, with the worker as an actor in his life and work condition, becomes more tangible.

摘要 圣卡塔琳娜州（Santa Catarina）南部地区集中了该国规模最大的陶瓷企业。本研究旨在评估该类产业工人的心理生理负荷与生活质量（Quality of Life）。本研究为横断面研究，共纳入189名生产工人。研究采用NASA任务负荷指数量表（NASA-TLX）与世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHOQOL-brefs）作为测评工具。绝大多数受访者的总体认知负荷处于较高水平。60.8%的受访者生活质量处于一般水平，其中生活质量的环境维度表现最为不佳。明晰工作中的制约因素后，将工人作为自身生活与工作状态的行动主体，推动健康促进行动实施与职场不满预防的相关举措将更具可操作性。
