Adquired limitation in work performance and unemployment. Implementation of professional requalifing in a group of workers from the argentin provices of Rio Negro, Neuquen, Mendoza, among others (1997-2010)
Abstract
The aim of the present study is to improve the service of Professional Rehabilitation in order to promote self-sufficient labor continuity for accident victims with activity limitation (OMS, 2001) (1) those who were dismissed from their jobs after an accident or professional disease.
The universe of cases considered was the total of dismissed workers as a result of limited work performance (39 cases out of a total of 619 treated), under the different nationwide economic circumstances, related to fruit and vegetable productions, oilseeds, and linked industries placed in argentine districts of Rio Negro, Neuquén, Mendoza and Entre Ríos, between the months of August 1997 and December 2010.
The first step of the research was centered in detecting common variables in this group and in defining those aspects to take into consideration for future cases. Secondly, three resources to promote self-sufficient labor continuity and the obtained benefits from the use of Professional Rehabilitation were evaluated.
The investigation based on clinical evidence was used as method of analysis. The sample was divided into three options of execution: 1) Professional training 2) Machinery and tools provision 3) Assistance and deliverance of utilities for businesses.
From the obtained results, the option of “small businesses” was determined as priority and in second place “machinery and tools”. However, “professional training” was discarded for the cases of unemployed workers due to acquired limitation, because of the lack of benefits found
Conclusion: This study allowed us to obtain clinical evidence of the resource that brought the greatest benefit of the service to promote self-sufficient labour continuity in the cases of dismissed workers as the result of an acquired limitation in work performance
