Resumo(s)
Este estudo quantitativo, transversal e descritivo-correlacional, avaliou a saúde mental, o bem-estar mental, o coping, a procura de ajuda e a literacia em saúde mental em
253 agentes da Polícia de Segurança Pública recém-formados. Os resultados descreveram um perfil globalmente não clínico, com níveis reduzidos de sofrimento psicológico (avaliado pela DASS-21). Verificou-se que 83,4% dos participantes se situaram no nível de flourishing (florescimento) de bem-estar, sendo o bem-estar social a dimensão mais frágil. As estratégias de coping adaptativas (planeamento e coping ativo) predominaram, enquanto as atitudes face à procura de apoio foram moderadamente favoráveis. Contudo, o exercício de funções operacionais esteve associado a um aumento do sofrimento psicológico (stress, ansiedade e depressão) e a menor bem-estar social. Concluiu-se que o início do exercício profissional representa um momento previsível de risco, recomendando-se a implementação de intervenções precoces estruturadas, focadas na promoção da saúde mental, do bem-estar social e em vias seguras de apoio e que garantam a confidencialidade.
This quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive–correlational study assessed mental health, mental well-being, coping, help-seeking, and mental health literacy in 253 newly graduated officers of the Public Security Police. Findings indicated an overall non-clinical profile, with low levels of psychological distress (assessed by the DASS-21). Notably, 83.4% of participants were classified as flourishing in terms of well-being, with social well-being emerging as the most vulnerable dimension. Adaptive coping strategies (planning and active coping) predominated, while attitudes toward help-seeking were moderately favourable. However, engagement in operational duties was associated with increased psychological distress (stress, anxiety, and depression) and lower social well-being. It is concluded that the onset of professional practice constitutes a predictable period of risk, and the implementation of structured early interventions is recommended, focusing on the promotion of mental health, enhancement of social well-being, and secure, confidential pathways to support.
