Abstract

The dissertation developed in the scope of the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAED / UFJF) addresses the issue of absenteeism due to teacher illness. This study is justified by the high number of teachers who seek the Program of Psychosocial Attendance of the Servants of Education (PAPSE) of the State of Amazonas, presenting a picture of stress, signs of depression and without the need to continue teaching. The aim of this research is to understand the challenges involved in reducing teacher absenteeism due to illness in the state education system of the Amazon and to contribute to effective actions based on the improvement of the PAPSE. To achieve this purpose, the qualitative methodology was adopted with the use of instruments such as the semi-structured interview with two teachers, two PAPSE technicians, the director of the Personnel Management Department and the person responsible for the Management of Promotion and Valorization of Server and the documentary analysis of records of attendance, with medical reports of 2015 and 2016, of the servers served in this management. The theoretical foundation was formed by authors like Holanda (1999); Chiavenato (2014); Gesqui (2008); Silva (2014); Vilela e Coelho (2006); Zaponi e Silva (2007); Strierd (2009); Gouvêa (2016); Ozólio et al. (2015) that addressed the concept, causes and consequences of absenteeism. From the documentary analysis of 605 records of attendance, of which 419 were teachers and 186 of the other positions, it was found that 268 teachers left work for health reasons, and 49 of the medical reports presented the International Code of Disease ( ICD 10), Depressive Episodes and Anxious Disorders, identified as F (F31, F32, F33, F41, F43 among others). As for the analysis of the data obtained through the interviews with the teachers involved in this study, they revealed the lack of working conditions in the classroom and their relation with the process of illness experienced by these professionals, besides pointing out the difficulty of the schools to deal with with the teacher sickness due to disorders, besides the need for the PAPSE to invest in preventive and collaborative actions. In this sense, the Educational Action Plan (PAE), which starts from the results of the research where the pathologies that most affect the teachers are verified, seeks to meet the needs of the schools in relation to the permanence of these teachers in the classroom in satisfactory conditions of health by means of integrated actions and in the perspective of the collective. There are four proposed actions that will be carried out at school by the technical team of the program, namely: Meeting with the Coordinators and school managers; Training of managers; Strengthening of partnerships with CAPS (Centro de Atenção Psicossocial), CERESTE (Reference Center for Worker's Health) and other institutions involved with worker's health; and the Construction of an Action Plan that is configured as a support tool to improve the actions of the PAPSE in reducing absenteeism due to illness.
