WORK AND MENTAL HEALTH OF INTENSIVE CARE PROFESSIONALS - A CONCEPTUAL APPROACH
Keywords
Abstract
It is understood the work with one of the structures responsible for structuring the identity of the human being. Thus, through work, man modifies his way of acting, thinking and relates to himself and to the world. In health, work is a theme of much discussion with regard to the general aspects of work; however, with little focus on the hospital setting, specifically in the intensive care unit. This theoretical manuscript in the form of an essay aims to analyze the theoretical and conceptual aspects of work and its repercussion on the mental health of workers who work in the intensive care unit setting. After analyzing the pertinent bibliography regarding conceptual, historical and social aspects, its articulation with the conceptions, its complexity in health and its impact on the mental health of workers, specifically in intensive care, was produced. The analysis points to the need to implement strategies that awaken to the elaboration of actions focused on health policy aimed at the promotion, protection and recovery of workers' health in this context of action.
