Explanative and intervention models in workers' health promotion

Abstract

Objective: To search for scientific evidence in literature of explanative and intervention models to promote workers' health and prevent occupational accidents with biological material. Methods: Integrative literature review. Results: Eleven articles met the inclusion criteria, with 36.4% of them using explanative models centered on the individual behavior or enabling the interaction between individuals and service providers; 63.6% used intervention models to promote the health of workers exposed to biological risks. Conclusion: Intervention models are more relevant in the worker health area, since they organize the technical and scientific means to intervene in risks and damage to health, incorporating a logic that guides the technical interventions for the problems and necessities of the workers.
