GUILLAND, ROMILDA  y  MORAES-CRUZ, ROBERTO. Mental and Behavioral Disorders in Workers at Pig and Poultry Slaughterhouses in the South of Brazil. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.1, pp.163-177. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v26n1.57479.

In Paraná, Brazil, the production of food of animal origin is one of the economic activities that most employs the workforce, but it also most contributes to the emergence of illnesses; however, there is little knowledge concerning mental disorders. This study is a descriptive epidemiological investigation on mental and behavioral disorders in workers at pig and poultry slaughterhouses in the department of Paraná. Secondary Brazilian Social Security data from 2008 to 2014 was used. The results indicate that the majority of disabled workers are between 28 and 38 years, are women and show signs of depression. There was a prevalence of social security benefits for illness in comparison with benefits for work-related accidents. In addition, there was an annual reduction of accident benefits granted. The study concludes that it is difficult for workers to receive recognition of work-related illnesses, especially for mental disorders.
