O Trabalho na produção intelectual em Saúde Coletiva: uma análise da experiência brasileira de 1990 a 2008

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on the intellectual production of the work subject held in the form of dissertations and doctoral theses defended between 1990 and 2008. In the survey, gave priority to production in Public Health, being investigated 25 research centers affiliated to ABRASCO (Brazilian Association of Collective Health). Were identified between 1990 and 2008, a total of 564 academic productions distributed between dissertations and doctoral theses. This production, 75% are dissertations and 25% are theses. Total production was presented concentrated in the states of São Paulo (221 posts) and Rio de Janeiro (208 posts), together composing 76% of all production in the country. The five universities that stand out in the production area are: FIOCRUZ (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation), with 26.06% of the national production; USP (University of São Paulo), with 18.79%; UNICAMP (University of Campinas), with 14.54%; UFBa (Federal University of Bahia), with 7.98% and UERJ (State University of Rio de Janeiro), with 6.56%. Besides the spatial production, the theses were classified by thematic areas and are classified into 13 descriptors. The results show a concentration in the areas of worker health, worker safety and human resources. Issues relating to labor and technological development; employment and income; changes in labor relations; quality of life and work, gender and health were identified as the lowest density. These segments are gaps to be overcome by non-hegemonic centers. One suggestion is to consolidate lines research through institutional alliances around issues with low production. Institutions with smaller publishing indexes can focus their efforts on an expansion of production on the theme of work, ensuring growth and devolution of intellectual production in Brazil.
