Doenças ocupacionais: uma pesquisa realizada com taquígrafos da Assembleia Legislativa do Piauí em 2020

Abstract

Shorthand is an art associated with the secretary since its origin, due to its creation being made by a slave who exercised the function of secretary in the Roman Empire. Currently, this art is taught in technological courses and a bachelor’s degree in secretarial work and developed by shorthand professionals who are responsible for registering speeches in parliaments, plenary sessions, assemblies, etc. In this sense, the study aims to analyze the occurrences of occupational diseases in shorthands of the Legislative Assembly of Piauí. The research is classified as bibliographic research and case study, with a qualitative approach, based on Cury (2020); Monteiro and Bertagni, (2016); Lima, (2017), among others. Data collection was also carried out through the application of a questionnaire, consisting of open and closed questions. In view of this reality, the present study aims to survey the records of occupational diseases that are presented by ALEPI shorthand writes, in order to verify how often the tachograph professionals go to the occupational doctor and which are the cases of occupational diseases found, to suggest preventive actions.
