The drug abuse in the workplace creates consequences such as absenteeism, low productivity, increased costs for employees and employers; worsening health of the individual and workplace accidents.
Objectives
: Conduct a systematic review of scientific articles on interventions in the workplace for the use of drugs, published from 2002 until 2012.
Method
: Articles were searched six databases: Medline (PubMed), PsychINFO, Web of Science, LILACS, and SciELO PEPSIC. The descriptors varied by controlling each vocabulary database. Initially found 97 articles that were ranked Descriptions, Reviews, Measurements and Interventions. The content analysis was applied to ten articles that these were interventions in the workplace.
Results
: All articles of the systematic review were positive about their research objectives, but all had methodological flaws.
Conclusion
: We conclude that the set of evaluated studies is still insufficient scientific evidence and demand more studies that seek to investigate the validity of the interventions and their applicability in the work context.
