Condições de trabalho e morbidade referida de policiais militares, Recife-PE, Brasil

O objetivo foi analisar as condições de trabalho e a morbidade referida por Policiais Militares (PM) do Recife-PE. Estudo epidemiológico de corte transversal do qual participaram 288 PMs do Comando de Policiamento da Capital, Recife-PE. Os dados foram coletados mediante questionário semiestruturado, sobre aspectos sociodemográficos, morbidades referidas, demandas e controle no trabalho (Job Content Questionnaire). O perfil sociodemográfico revelou que a maioria dos PMs tinha 39 anos ou mais de idade, era cor parda ou negra (71,3%), era casada (77,3%), possuía dois ou mais filhos (63,7%), tinha cursado até o ensino médio (64,9%) e estava no nível econômico C1 e C2 (61,8%). A maior parte identificou seu trabalho como de baixo controle (56,4%), alta demanda física (53,9%) e baixo suporte social (59,8%). Sendo classificado para 27,8% como de alta exigência; para estes os riscos de sofrimento psíquico e de doenças são maiores, necessitando mudanças na organização do trabalho. O maior tempo de serviço (OR=2,99) e a ausência de folgas semanais (OR=0,47) revelaram-se condicionantes mais importantes da morbidade referida. Sugere-se a utilização de estratégias que promovam maior integração social e cooperação entre os níveis hierárquicos superiores e os comandados, e redução da carga excessiva de trabalho.The aim was to analyse the working conditions and referred morbidity of military police officers in the city of Recife (Northeastern Brazil). This was a cross-sectional epidemiological study in which 288 officers in the Policing Command of the state capital (Recife) participated. Sociodemographic, working conditions and referred morbidity data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire (Job Content Questionnaire). The sociodemographic profile showed that most were 39 years of age or older, were of mixed ethnicity or had black skin color (71.3%), were married (77.3%), had two or more children (63.7%), had attended school up to high school level (64.9%), and were in the C1 or C2 economic level (61.8%). Most identified their work as presenting low control (56.4%), high physical demand (53.9%) and low social support (59.8%). According to 27.8% of the officers, the work was highly demanding. For these officers, the risks of psychological stress and diseases were greater, and they believe that changes are required in the work organization. The higher number of years of service (OR = 2.99) and the absence of weekly days off (OR = 0.47) proved to be the most important determinants of the referred morbidity. It is suggested that strategies promoting greater social integration and cooperation between hierarchically superior and subordinate levels should be used, and the excessive workload should be reduced

OS SIGNIFICADOS DO CONCEITO DE ABORDAGEM TEÓRICA E AS IMPLICAÇÕES NA PRÁTICA DO PSICÓLOGO: UM ESTUDO COM GRADUANDOS DE PSICOLOGIA

Desencadeado a partir da carência de conteúdo acerca da temática, o vigente estudo objetivou investigar o conceito de Abordagem Teórica, suas representações sociais e implicações destas no fazer psicológico através da perspectiva de discentes do curso de Psicologia de uma instituição privada da capital da Bahia. A amostra da pesquisa teve sua composição contemplada por 21 estudantes no total, com idades entre 16 e 50 anos, sendo quinze sujeitos do 9° semestre e seis do 10° semestre. Pôde-se notar por meio deste estudo que a noção de abordagem teórica ainda está muito vinculada à concepção de visão de mundo e de homem do estudante. Foi corroborado que as linhas teóricas mais conhecidas são as tradicionais como Psicanálise, Gestalt-Terapia, Terapia Cognitiva, porém, no cenário contemporâneo, os estudantes revelaram interesse por abordagens mais atuais como: Análise Bioenergética e Logoterapia. Além disso, foi possível inferir que os sistemas teóricos servem como importante instrumento para auxiliar o psicólogo na condução de seu trabalho.

Artistas sobre outras obras

Refletindo sobre a arte enfenta-se coisa difícil, e não raro temos de encarar o regresso à partida: é coisa antiga, ligação funda ao que diferencia o humano, assentando na arbitrariedade da sua cultura e na sua transmissão sígnica. A pergunta, na busca dos grandes signos, é quase simples: o que há de novo?
