• Abstract:

  Introduction: Universities are considered by Motta (2014) conducive environments for the development of occupational diseases in professors, as there is a race for serial production of research and scientific publications, with the goal of achieving the excellence required by graduate programs, in particular. As a consequence, we have a teacher directly exposed to constant mental and physical pressure, which leads to early illness (CASSANDRE, 2011). Goal: This research aimed to present the state of the art of research on the subject of worker's health. Methodology: This is an art essay, which addresses a literature review on the topic of worker health, the research used articles published in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) as a database and the following descriptors were used: worker and teachers. A total of 80 articles were analyzed, of which only 9 articles were selected based on the inclusion criteria. Results: The regulation of the time dedicated to work proved to be fundamental, constituting inspection devices that reduce or eliminate the excesses and overloads of teachers in the home environment. (PINHO, et al., 2021) Final considerations: As possible consequences of the teacher's health problems are early retirement and abandonment of the profession. It is necessary to investigate the causal circumstances and the appropriate intervention, in appropriate situations of repair, in the environment, organization and work conditions of the educators, resulting, consequently, in the improvement of the ability to work.
