Abstract(s)
Vários estudos têm demonstrado que o profissional de polícia exerce uma atividade que, fruto do contacto direto com o cidadão e seus problemas, interações essas constantes e com perigos latentes, torna-se promotora de stress, podendo levar a estádios de burnout e, em última análise, ao suicídio.
Este trabalho teve como objetivos conhecer os níveis de vulnerabilidade ao stress e de burnout nas forças e serviços de segurança portuguesas, nomeadamente na Polícia de Segurança Pública, sendo que, ao longo da revisão de bibliografia os dados apurados sugerem que a vulnerabilidade ao stress pode constituir um precursor de burnout, verificando-se correlações positivas entre algumas variáveis em estudo pelos vários autores.
As conclusões gerais mostram que os níveis de burnout nos vários profissionais em estudo, no panorama nacional, são pouco acentuados, não obstante o fato de alguns valores obtidos merecerem atenção, pelo que urge definir o caminho a atuar nesta área.
Several studies have shown that police personnel carries out an activity that, as a result of direct contact with the citizen and resulting problems, that represent constant interactions with latent dangers, becomes a stress promoter, leading to burnout stages and, in last case, to suicide. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of vulnerability to stress and burnout in Portuguese security forces and services, namely in the Public Security Police. Throughout the bibliography review, the data suggests that vulnerability to stress may constitute a precursor of burnout, and there were positive correlations between some of the variables studied by the various authors. The conclusions show that burnout levels in the various personnel under study in the national scene are not very marked, despite the fact that some values obtained deserve attention, so it is urgent to define the path to be taken in this area.
