Determinações do suicídio de trabalhadore(a)s no agronegócio na região da Bacia do Rio Juruena, Mato Grosso / Determinations of worker's suicides in agribusiness from Juruena river basis region in the State of Mato Grosso
This research aims to analyze the social determination of suicides of male and femaleagribusiness in Mato Grosso. Based in authors such as Marx and Breilh, we understand the workerssuicides as a symptom of social organization in territories dominated by human exploitation and environmental exposure of agribusiness. A quanti-qualitative social research was carried out in three cities of the northwestern region of the state of Mato Grosso. For data collection, a survey of self-reported morbidities was carried out, applied to 1,384 families of workers in three cities, then interviews were conducted to reconstruct the state of physical/mental health, social and work relationships and other motivating circumstances through psychosocial autopsy. Sixteen suicides cases were identified that occurred between 2000 and 2017, and the majority of cases involved agricultural workers linked to soybean, corn and cotton farms. The analysis of the interviews showed socioeconomic, labor, political, cultural and socio-environmental aspects as determinants of these cases. The paper contributes to advance prevention strategies and surveillance in workers' health, which focus on the sources of exposure to pesticides and the various aspects identified that make up the social determinations of suicide cases, expanding the attention to the multiple factors of these events.
