Saúde mental e trabalho na universidade pública: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

Neoliberalism caused changes in the organization of public service work, including in universities, impacting the lives and health of workers. Thus, the aim of this research was to carry out a systematic review of scientific articles on mental illness among workers at Brazilian public universities, identifying the causes, illnesses and consequences for the lives of workers and for the institutions to which they are linked. For this, a search was made in three databases, two digital libraries and a database, whose final sample was 21 articles. It was noted that civil servants are mainly affected by occupational stress and burnout, in addition to other consequences for civil servants. There is a prevalence of studies with professors to the detriment of administrative servers. There was a scarcity of publications about the impact of these illnesses on institutions. The importance of the data found for future research on the mental health of workers in public universities is highlighted.
