Health conditioning factors work-related to health professors: an integrative review

Abstract

Objective:

to systematize studies that address the occupational determinants of health of university health professors.

Methods:

descriptive and analytical integrative review conducted in Brazilian and international electronic databases, based on studies published in Portuguese and English between January 2005 and March 2016.

Results:

application of the selection criteria resulted in the inclusion of twenty studies (three master dissertations, five doctoral theses and twelve articles). Predominantly, the studies pointed out that professors identify physical and psychological working conditions as negative aspects to health and, as health promoting aspects, the satisfaction with their profession - involving production and systematized sharing of knowledge - and the social impacts that their activities exert in and outside their workplace.

Conclusion:

evidences of health professors’ perception on their own processes of health and illness at work indicate that personal, social and institutional spheres should work together to meet the contemporary complex health needs.

Keywords:
professor; university, health promotion; work satisfaction
