RESUMO
Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo traçar um perfil de bem-estar psicológico em profissionais de limpeza urbana da cidade de Campina Grande (PB), tomando por base cinco dimensões de saúde mental propostas no modelo ecológico de Peter Warr (bem-estar afetivo, competência pessoal, aspiração, autonomia e funcionamento integrado). Trata-se de um estudo exploratório e descritivo, em que participaram 170 profissionais, correspondendo a uma amostra de 30,3% do total dos trabalhadores. Os dados foram coletados por meio dos seguintes instrumentos Questionário de Saúde Geral (QSG-12), Escala de Afetos Positivos e Negativos e Escala de Aspiração, sendo os fatores empíricos dessas escalas usados para avaliar cada uma das dimensões mencionadas, bem como uma ficha sociodemográfica. Os resultados identificaram quatro grupos com os seguintes perfis de bem-estar psicológico instável, ansioso, satisfatório e equilibrado, sendo que os homens tendem a apresentar mais bem-estar psicológico (perfis equilibrado e satisfatório) do que as mulheres (perfil ansioso). Os resultados permitem concluir que o bem-estar psicológico está preservado para a maioria, mas 31% da amostra se encontra em processo de desgaste, devendo servir como alerta para que medidas sejam tomadas a fim de reaver o equilíbrio emocional(AU)
ABSTRACT
The objective of this research was to trace a profile of psychological well-being in urban sanitation professionals in the City of Campina Grande (PB), taking as a base the five dimensions of mental health proposed in Peter Warr's ecological model (namely; affective well-being, personal competence, aspiration, autonomy, and integrated functioning). This is an exploratory and descriptive study, in which 170 professionals participated, corresponding to a sample of 30.3% of the total workers. The data were collected using the following instruments the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Scale of Positive and Negative Affects, and the Scale of Aspiration. The empirical factors of those scales were then used to evaluate each of the aforementioned dimensions, and to make a socio- demographic profile. The results identified four groups with the following psychological well-being profiles Unstable, Anxious, Satisfactory, Level-headed, where men tended to have more psychological well-being (Level-headed and Satisfactory profiles) than women (Anxious). It was possible to conclude from the results that psychological wellbeing was maintained in the majority of the individuals of the sample, but 31% of the sample exhibited signs of stress, which should serve to signal the necessity for measures in terms of emotional well-being balance(AU)
