Abstract

The field of Worker Healt, willing to study and intervene in health and disease processes, has dialogued with different areas of knowledge in order to better understand the complexity present in this interaction, considering the diversity factors that can interfere in the health levels experienced by people. Amid the growing interest in the field, it is pertinent to question how psychological science has positioned about the repercussions of work on the human mind. Therefore, this study intends to identify to what extent the psychologist in worker health has contemplated the assumptions of psychosociology approach. Through SciELO (Scientific Eletronic Library Online) and LILACS (Latino Literature American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences) databases we used an integrative literature review, in order to compile information that would enable the synthesis of the state of knowledge of the subject in question. It was possible to identify the need for greater investment in research and reasoned intervention in psychosociology assumptions of the universe of the health workers.
