THE INSTRUMENT USED WAS THE JOB CONTENT QUESTIONNAIRE (JCQ); RELIABILITY COEFFICIENTS WERE BETWEEN 0.55 AND 0.83 CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE INDICATORS OF INTERNAL CONSISTENCY OF THE SCALES. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT WORKERS FROM IN BOTH URBAN AND RURAL HEALTH CENTERS WOULDFALL IN THE SECOND QUADRANT OF KARASEK?S MODEL, REFLECTING """"""""""""""""ACTIVE WORK"""""""""""""""", CHARACTERIZED BY ELEVATED JOB DEMANDS BUT AN ELEVATED DEGREE OF JOB CONTROL, TURNING THE RESULT INTO A CHALLENGE.
