The objective of this study is to analyze the health reasons for the employees attending the SIASS-UFRN unit, in order to contribute to the identification of the social determinants that go through the health-disease process. It has as specific objectives: to identify the individual determinants and living and working conditions of remote servers to recognize the profiles most vulnerable to illness; To give visibility to the social determinants of the health-disease process of the employees that affect the health remoteness, in order to face situations of risk to the health of the worker; To evidence the acquired / aggravated pathologies in the work in order to establish relation with the distance; And contribute to the team's understanding of the social determinants of health, with a view to qualifying the work processes in health.

We found that the social determinants related to the work dimension, in the health and illness process of the servants served, are the most frequently mentioned in the analysis of the team, in a scenario that the mental disorders lead the departures in number of days in the SIASS-UFRN Unit. In this sense, mental disorder is identified as a recurrent pathology in the cases of intervention by the multiprofessional team, due to the complexity and specificity of psychic suffering. Finally, we recognize the significant relationship between work and illness in the eyes of the interviewees, in which teachers and health professionals deserve greater attention because of the particularities involved in these categories, such as: great mental demand, overload, pressure, stress; Among health workers, the suffering of others is added.
