Resumo

Introdução: O sedentarismo comportamental é considerado um grave problema de saúde pública no mundo. O estresse, lombalgia e a má qualidade do sono estão entre as maiores causas de presenteísmo e afastamento no ambiente de trabalho e uma melhor gestão do sedentarismo durante a jornada pode ser um promotor de saúde e produtividade dos trabalhadores. Objetivo: Investigar o impacto da introdução da rotina de pausas ativas na atividade física diária, na autopercepção do estresse, lombalgia e qualidade do sono em trabalhadores administrativos. Método: Estudo descritivo-exploratório realizado com 114 profissionais administrativos de ambos os sexos (76% mulheres). Os participantes foram orientados a seguir uma rotina de pausas ativas durante 12 semanas com apoio de um aplicativo (APP) e foi utilizado um questionário pré e pós intervenção. Resultados/Discussão: Antes da intervenção 75,4% dos trabalhadores não realizavam pausas ativas. Após intervenção 39,5% dos trabalhadores passaram a praticar pelo menos 1 pausa ativa diariamente e 44% passaram a fazer 2 ou mais pausas ativas por dia (p=0.01). Foi observada uma redução significativa na percepção do estresse (p=0,004) e de dores lombares durante a jornada (p<0,001), sendo que 32% dos participantes alegaram não sentirem mais dor após a intervenção. Além disso, observamos uma melhora na qualidade do sono (p=0,001) e aumento significativo na frequência de exercício semanal no grupo (p<0,0001) Os resultados indicam uma associação positiva entre a gestão do comportamento sedentário no ambiente de trabalho e percepção de sinais relacionados ao estresse físico e mental. Conclusão: A rotina de pausas ativas no ambiente de trabalho parece ter um impacto positivo no sedentarismo, na redução da percepção dor, estresse e qualidade do sono em trabalhadores administrativos, podendo fazer parte de orientações ergonômicas para empregadores e órgãos regulatórios. A incorporação dessa rotina pode resultar em funcionários mais ativos e menos reativos ao estresse físico e psicofisiológico relacionado ao trabalho, promovendo assim um ambiente de trabalho mais saudável e produtivo, além de impactar na qualidade do sono e ser um potencializador do aumento da atividade física no período de lazer.
