Anxiety, Depression and Quality of Life in Industry 4.0: A literature review

Abstract

With an increasingly competitive labor market and rising unemployment rates, inadequate working conditions such as: low wages, unhealthy environments, excessive noise and heat, accumulation of functions, excess working hours and regime in different shifts, are factors that may contribute to the emergence of mental and behavioral disorders. In order to carry out this study, a systematic literature review was carried out using the Methodi Ordinatio method, through the following steps: selection of databases; definition of keywords and their combinations; definition of search criteria; extraction of searches from databases; elimination of duplicate articles; definition and application criteria for the exclusion of articles that are not compatible with the proposed theme. It was possible to identify that there is a low number of scientific productions that address the themes of quality of life, anxiety and depression, and industry 4.0, which is an opportunity for future studies.
