[Worker's life before and after repetive cumulative trauma (RCT) and osteomuscular work-related disease (OWRD)].
This is a qualitative work, which focused on workers routine before and after being affected by RCT/ OWRD. The study aimed at verifying and analyzing if workers' lives had changed after the disease diagnostic. The research took place at sections of the TRT-AL--a Court responsible for labor conciliations in Maceió - Alagoas. The information was collected based on semi-structured interviews and data were analyzed based on the following tematics: life before RCT/OWRD; the activity that caused it; the diagnosis; an answer to the repetitive work and a new perspective to the horizon. Results enabled researchers to suggest preventive care, as well as to contribute for reducing damages caused by repetitive activities and high pressure on workers.
