Resumo
Background: Sickness absence, as work absenteeism justified by medical certificate, is an
important health status indicator of the employees and, overall, sociodemographic and occupational
characteristics are among the main factors associated with sickness absence. Public administration accounts
for 21.8% of the formal job positions in Brazil. This population allows the study of a wide range of
professional categories. Objective: To assess the profile and indicators of sickness absence among public
workers from the municipality of Goiania, in the State of Goiás, Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study on
certified sick leaves, lasting longer than three days, of all civil servants from January 2005 to December 2010.
Prevalence rates were calculated using as main criteria the number of individuals, episodes and sick days.
Results: 40,578 certified sick leaves were granted for health treatment among 13,408 public workers, in an
annual average population of 17,270 people, which resulted in 944,722 days of absenteeism. The cumulative
prevalence of sick leave for the period was of 143.7%, with annual average of 39.2% and duration of 23
days per episode. The cumulative prevalence of sickness absence was higher among women (52.0%), older
than 40 years old (55.9%), with a partner (49.9%), low schooling (54.4%), education professionals (54.7%),
> 10 years of service (61.9%), and with multiple work contracts (53.7%). Diagnoses groups (ICD-10) with
higher cumulative prevalence of sick leaves were those with mental disorders (26.5%), musculoskeletal
diseases (25.1%), and injuries (23.6%). Conclusions: Indicators of sickness absence express the magnitude of
this phenomenon in the public sector and can assist in planning health actions for the worker, prioritizing
the most vulnerable occupational groups.
