Abstract(s)
Na atualidade, o stress tem repercussões cada vez maiores e preocupantes nas diversas instituições, provocando, consequentemente, um grande impacto na sociedade.
Efetivamente, o stress é um fator que influencia o bem-estar e a saúde das pessoas, afetando o seu desempenho pessoal e a sua produtividade, diminuindo-a. O mesmo sucede na Guarda Nacional Republicana. Ora, o presente trabalho teve como principal objetivo a perceção dos níveis de stress que os militares vivenciam na atividade operacional, apurar as suas principais fontes, descortinar algumas medidas que poderão contribuir para a sua diminuição, bem como comparar os níveis de stress percecionados na GNR com os dados relativos a outras profissões.
A presente investigação iniciou-se com o enquadramento teórico, seguido de uma
pesquisa bibliográfica, que teve particular incidência em obras e trabalhos alusivos ao tema em análise, de forma a poder sustentar o trabalho de campo. A investigação de campo teve por base a recolha de dados, através da aplicação de inquéritos por questionário, cuja análise e discussão permitiu dar resposta às perguntas de partida/hipóteses, bem como
extrair algumas reflexões relativas ao stress.
Conclui-se que as principais fontes de stress existentes na GNR não estão
relacionadas com a especificidade da profissão (como por exemplo o facto destes profissionais terem de lidar com pessoas perigosas), mas com aspetos relativos a interesses de cariz pessoal e ao bem-estar dos militares (como é o caso da remuneração ser considerada insuficiente, das instalações não oferecerem as condições desejáveis, da dificuldade em conciliar a vida profissional com a vida pessoal, entre outros).
Existem formas simples para diminuir a perceção do stress nos militares, sendo que
uma das medidas mais viáveis passaria pela intensificação, aperfeiçoamento e
consolidação da formação.
As organizações são um potencial foco de acontecimentos stressantes, não sendo
exceção a Guarda Nacional Republicana. Como tal, torna-se premente desenvolver
algumas estratégias que previnam os seus efeitos.
Abstract Stress has been exerting greater and more serious repercussions inside various institutions, causing significant impact in society. Stress has influence over people’s wellbeing and health and reflects necessarily on one’s personal performance and productivity, diminishing them. This is also the case in the National Republican Guard. This study focuses on the perception of stress experienced by the military in operational activity and its aim is to discover the main sources of stress these individuals are subject to, to envisage measures capable of contributing to reducing stress, and to compare the stress levels found in this profession with data relative to other professions. The present investigation began with the theoretical framework, followed by bibliographical research related to the subject matter of this report, as a means to support the field work, which consisted in the collection of data with an enquiry through questionnaire. The analysis and discussion of the data provided the answers to the starting questions/hypotheses, and enabled some considerations concerning stress. The conclusions suggest that the main sources of stress in the National Republican Guard are not related to specificity of the profession (which involves, for example, dealing with dangerous persons), but, instead, with the personal interests and wellbeing of the military (regarding issues such as insufficient pay, deficient facilities, among other factors). There are simple measures that can be taken to diminish the perception of stress of the military and one of the most viable is the intensification, improvement and consolidation of training. Organizations are a potential locus of stressful events, and the National Republican Guard is no exception. It is therefore urgent to develop strategies to prevent their effects.
