“…This result is in line with previous studies that showed that psychological demands scale of the JCQ (Karasek, 1985) tends to be the borderline and presenting low satisfactory levels of internal consistency (Choi et al. , 2012; Vilas-Boas and Cerqueira, 2017).…”

PurposeBuilding on prior studies on the role of health-related and job-related issues in affecting presenteeism, the present study tested a mediation model of the relationship between job demands and presenteeism by exploring the mediation effect of menopausal symptoms.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through a self-report questionnaire involving social service menopausal employees (N = 204) from a public municipal organization. The survey was cross-sectional and non-randomized.FindingsResults revealed that job demands, namely emotional, cognitive and physical demands, were significantly and positively associated with presenteeism. Furthermore, mediation analysis evidenced that physical job demands were also associated with higher levels of menopausal physical symptom bothersomeness, which in turn serves as a condition to increase the act of presenteeism.Originality/valueThe findings of this study widen the perspective on presenteeism research by evidencing the role of an overlooked health-related factor in relation to the act of presenteeism, that is the menopausal transition. Insights for the development of targeted preventive measures of the act of presenteeism and menopausal symptom management in the workplace may also be derived from these results.

Background: The Demand Control Support model is useful for studying work-related stress. The combination of high demand and a low level of control generates “job strain” (“job iso-strain” if poor support is added), with implications for the worker’s health and well-being. The aims of this study were to adapt, examine the factor structure of, and determine the reliability of, the Demand Control Support Questionnaire (DCSQ) short version for European Portuguese (DCSQ-PT). Methods: The scale was translated into Portuguese following a rigorous process and then applied to 501 workers from various professional sectors. An online survey was used to collect sociodemographic, professional, and Demand Control Support data. Validation was based on reliability and validity tests. Results: The mean age of the sample was 41.8 ± 10.3 years, and 50.1% of the participants were female. The results reveal good reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.807) and validity. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that a four-factor solution of the DCSQ-PT scale had a good fit to the data, as was the case for the original scale. The DCSQ-PT© with 16 items is composed of the following factors: social support at work; psychological demands; skill discretion; and decision authority. Conclusions: This validation allows an instrument to be obtained with 16 items for studying work-related stress in Portuguese workers.

Evidenciado na atualidade que as condições de trabalho podem contribuir para alterações da saúde física e mental dos indivíduos, estudos apontam a relação destes transtornos com a insatisfação, falta de reconhecimento profissional, desgaste provocado pelo contato direto com o paciente, as recompensas insuficientes, a falta de autonomia, as relações interpessoais disfuncionais, os conflitos de valores, a falta de recursos humanos e materiais, a longa jornada de trabalho, a baixa remuneração, o estreitamento do mercado de trabalho, a alta exposição a riscos ocupacionais e a indefinição do papel profissional. A pesquisa emergiu das vivências iniciais do projeto PET-Saúde Interprofissionalidade. Objetivo: Analisar níveis de estresse entre os profissionais de um Centro de Saúde da Família (CSF), através da aplicação do teste de Lipp - Inventário de Sintomas de Stress Lipp (ISSL). Metodologia: Realizou-se a pesquisa quantitativa, descritiva, transversal. Participaram da pesquisa 30 profissionais que atuavam no serviço. Resultados: Dos profissionais avaliados, 6,7% apresentaram-se na fase de alerta, 56,6% em fase de resistência e 16,7% em fasede exaustão. Os sintomas mais identificados foram os físicos, uma vez que, os sintomas psicológicos encontrados são intrínsecos e identificados mediante informações dadas pelos profissionais. Conclusão: Desta forma, torna se necessário a realização de estratégias para prevenção e controle de transtornos que acometem e/ou tendem a acometer estes profissionais, melhorando, assim, sua qualidade de vida, bem como a assistência aos usuários.
