Experience of a transdisciplinary team’s work along with servers in sick leave

Introduction: Actions towards public servers in sick leave in a transdisciplinary perspective are necessary, however, such studies are rare in a national context. Objective: This study aimed to present an overview of the work done by a transdisciplinary team, formed by an occupational therapy, a psychotherapist, and a social worker, in evaluating, monitoring and work reinsertion of public servers during sick leave from a city in São Paulo State. Method: The work consists in reporting a transdisciplinary team’s experience from a documental study of 326 servers in sick leave, attended by the team and whose absence of work occurred from March 2014 to January 2017. To this end, as experience qualifiers, the presented data was associated with the outlined profile of the attended servers and their period of absence, to the outcome of the cases after the team’s interventions. Results: The number of servers away from work was reduced, especially those cases distinguished by chronic periods, after work reinsertion interventions through adequate conditions, as well as prevention of new chronic cases, by early actions from the transdisciplinary team’s actions and intersectoral work. Conclusion: The article opens the discussion about the importance of a transdisciplinary work toward servers in sick leave, not only in a holistic evaluation of the functionality and incapability but also in the preparation to job reinsertion by fostering the work conditions compatible to servers functionalities
