Resumo
Estudo epidemiológico transversal que descreve condições de trabalho nas penitenciárias estaduais de Avaré-SP, ocorrência de transtornos mentais comuns (TMC) entre os trabalhadores e existência de associação entre condições de trabalho e TMC. A coleta de informações foi efetuada pelo autor, utilizando questionário autoaplicado e não identificado. Nas duas penitenciárias, do efetivo de 631 trabalhadores, 479 encontravam-se em exercício e destes, 301 aceitaram participar do estudo. A casuística compôs-se predominantemente por homens (84,4%); idades de 30 a 59 anos (73,8%); casados / com companheiros (74,8%); escolaridade média (50,8%) e tempo médio de trabalho na penitenciária de 12,7 anos. De acordo como o Job Content Questionnaire, 36,6% enquadravam-se na situação de alto desgaste. A ocorrência de transtornos mentais comuns, detectada por meio do Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), evidenciou positividade de 51,8%, sendo que 68,2% dos trabalhadores em situação alto desgaste apresentaram TMC. Dentre outras, observouse associação estatisticamente significante (p=0,05) entre ocorrência de transtornos mentais comuns e: (a) situação de trabalho segundo modelo de Karasek; (b) ter sofrido agressão por parte de detentos; (c) importância atribuída ao período de trabalho; (d) grau de satisfação no trabalho; (e) possibilidade de continuar trabalhando se mantidas as mesmas condições de trabalho. A elevada proporção de trabalhadores penitenciários com sintomas de sofrimento psíquico associado a vários aspectos das condições de trabalho analisadas indica necessidade urgente de intervenção nesses ambientes de trabalho, dependente de decisões de instâncias administrativas do primeiro escalão do governo do estado de São Paulo. Entretanto, medidas de suporte social no trabalho podem – e devem - ser tomadas em caráter de urgência...
Transversal epidemiological study that describes the working conditions in São Paulo state prisons of Avaré-SP, the occurrence of common mental disorders (CMD) among the workers and the existence of an association between working conditions and TMC. Data collection was performed by the author, using selfapplied and not identified questionnaires. In both prisons, the 631 workers, 479 of which worked in the office, 301 of them agreed to participate in the study. The sample is composed predominantly of men (84.4%), ages 30 through 59 (73.8%), married / living together (74.8%), secondary education (50.8%) and average of 12.7 years in prison. According to the Job Content Questionnaire, 36.6% fit into the situation of high wearing. The occurrence of common mental disorders, detected by means of the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), turned out positive in 51.8% and 68.2% of workers in high-wearing situation had TMC. Among others, there was a significant statistic (p= 0.05) between occurrence of common mental disorders and: (a) status of work according to Karasek model, (b) having suffered injury by inmates, (c) importance assigned to working period, (d) level of satisfaction at work, (e) ability to continue working if working conditions are kept unchanged. The high proportion of prison workers with symptoms of psychological distress, associated with various aspects of working conditions indicate the urgent need for intervention in the workplace, largely dependent on decisions by first level administrative bodies of the state government of São Paulo. However, measures of social support at work can - and should - be taken on urgently to minimize the harmful wearing effects of working conditions that are causing illness and attrition among prison workers. It is also recommended further studies on working conditions in prisons in the State of São Paulo and the whole country, particularly... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
