Abstract

Objective: To estimate the prevalence and analyze factors associated with inadequate work ability among community health workers (CHWs).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted with CHWs, from July to October 2018, in Montes Claros, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil; work ability, sociodemographic, occupational, and clinical factors were investigated; prevalence ratios (PRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using Poisson regression.

Results: Of the 675 CHWs, 25.8% (95%CI 22.7;29.2) showed inadequate work ability; length of service greater than five years (PR = 1.64; 95%CI 1.24;2.18), poor health status (PR = 2.10; 95%CI 1.56;2.83), depressive symptoms (PR = 1.98; 95%CI 1.54;2.55) and voice disorders (PR = 1.85; 95%CI 1.26;2.73) were associated with the event.

Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of inadequate work ability, associated with occupational and clinical factors.

Main results: There was a high prevalence of inadequate work ability among community health workers (CHWs), associated with occupational and clinical factors.

Implications for services: This study can contribute to the planning of preventive actions and the promotion of the work ability of CHWs, with repercussions on the quality of service provided by these professionals.

Perspectives: Longitudinal studies are strongly recommended in order to establish cause-and-effect relationships between the variables investigated.

巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州蒙特斯克拉罗斯社区卫生工作者工作能力不足的患病率及相关因素：一项横断面研究，2018年。

目的估计社区医疗工作者（CHWs）工作能力不足的发生率并分析相关因素：这是一项横断面研究，于 2018 年 7 月至 10 月在巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州蒙特斯克拉罗斯对社区卫生工作人员进行了调查；调查了工作能力、社会人口学、职业和临床因素；使用泊松回归法计算了患病率（PR）及 95% 置信区间（95%CI）：结果：在 675 名社区保健工作者中，25.8%（95%CI 22.7;29.2）显示工作能力不足；服务年限超过五年（PR = 1.64; 95%CI 1.24;2.18）、健康状况差（PR = 2.10; 95%CI 1.56;2.83）、抑郁症状（PR = 1.98; 95%CI 1.54;2.55）和嗓音失调（PR = 1.85; 95%CI 1.26;2.73）与该事件有关：结论：工作能力不足的发生率很高，与职业和临床因素有关：主要结果：社区卫生工作人员工作能力不足的发生率较高，与职业和临床因素有关：这项研究有助于制定预防措施和提高社区保健员的工作能力，并对这些专业人员的服务质量产生影响：展望：强烈建议开展纵向研究，以确定所调查变量之间的因果关系。
