ABSTRACT
Work in the prison system can present a high risk to the mental and physical health of prison officers due to the dangerousness, diversity, and complexity associated with this job. Therefore, knowing that prison officers play a key role in prisons, it is essential to explore variables that help understand the health and well-being of these professionals. Thus, this study aims to explore and describe the relationship between social support, generalized anxiety, and life satisfaction in a sample of 100 Portuguese prison officers. The results showed the existence of a significant positive relationship between social support and life satisfaction. Social support also shows a significant negative relationship, decreasing anxiety. It was also found that increased anxiety significantly contributed to a decrease in the participants’ satisfaction with life. It was also possible to verify the existence of a mediating relationship between social support and satisfaction with life through anxiety. The results are subsequently discussed and translated into implications for research and professional practice. (AU)
RESUMEN
El trabajo en el sistema penitenciario puede presentar un alto riesgo para la salud mental y física de los funcionarios de prisiones debido a la peligrosidad, diversidad y complejidad asociadas a este trabajo. Por lo tanto, sabiendo que los agentes penitenciarios desempeñan un papel clave en las prisiones, es esencial explorar variables que ayuden a comprender la salud y el bienestar de estos profesionales. Así, este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar y describir la relación entre el apoyo social, la ansiedad generalizada y la satisfacción con la vida en una muestra de 100 agentes penitenciarios portugueses. Los resultados mostraron la existencia de una relación positiva significativa entre el apoyo social y la satisfacción con la vida. El apoyo social también muestra una relación negativa significativa, disminuyendo la ansiedad. También se comprobó que el aumento de la ansiedad contribuía significativamente a la disminución de la satisfacción con la vida de los participantes. También se pudo comprobar la existencia de una relación mediadora entre el apoyo social y la satisfacción con la vida a través de la ansiedad. Posteriormente, se discuten los resultados y se traducen en implicaciones para la investigación y la práctica profesional. (AU)
