Intervenções psicoeducativas para manejo de estresse ocupacional: um estudo comparativo

Abstract

This study implemented and evaluated an occupational stress management program for a group of 74 non-academics from a private university in the state of Goiás, Brazil. Forty-two employees attended a multimodal intervention for stress management while the other 32 attended social skills training. Both were conducted in 12 group sessions of 60 minutes each, during working hours. Preand post-test measurements were taken for immunity, blood pressure, and verbal stress responses, social skills and coping with problems at work. Covariance analyses and analyses of variance with stratification has demonstrated that the participants in both interventions presented similar levels of stress symptoms, coping with problems at work, social skills and immunity. They only differed in terms of diastolic blood pressure: The participants from the stress management intervention showed lower mean results (F (3.73) = 15.69, p< .05) for this variable. The results did not indicate that one type of intervention was superior to the other.

Qualidade metodológica de programas de intervenção baseados em fortalezas na América Latina: uma revisão sistemática da literatura

“…These studies were included in this review due to presenting other variables of interest as unexpected secondary outcome measures (as a results of interaction effects of primary outcome measures) following a social skills educational programme -also expected to improve Coping and Empathy (Rocha et al, 2013) and a brief intervention for chronically ill patients -expected to improve Gratitude and Assertiveness (Quiceno et al, 2011). Similar interaction effects were detected in two other studies following a stress management intervention -to improve Coping (Murta and Tróccoli, 2009), and a Positive Psychology programme -Forgiveness, Gratitude and Optimism as secondary outcome measures (Cuadra-Peralta et al, 2012).…”

“…Only two studies (Murta and Tróccoli, 2009;Pinheiro et al, 2006) reported clear in the text whether the loss of participants and/or the data lost was correctly addressed, or at least that the quality of the data had been reviewed before statistical analysis. All studies reported results in line with the objectives proposed, despite seven studies having reported the variables of interest for this review as secondary outcome measures (e.g., Borges and Seidl 2014;Coelho and Murta, 2007;Cuadra-Peralta et al, 2012;Murta and Tróccoli, 2009;Pivaral et al, 2015;Pureza et al, 2012;Rocha et al, 2013). The majority of studies published achieved good standards in terms of methodology quality.…”

“…Although the studies compiled in this review were drawn from samples of a diverse cultural background including countries like Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Chile and Cuba, the predominant target population identified amongst the studies was workers/labours (Murta and Tróccoli, 2009;Pivaral et al, 2015;Toledo et al, 2011), including teachers (Vera-Villarroel et al, 2005), firemen (Murta and Tróccoli, 2007), hospital staff (Murta and Tróccoli, 2004) and carers of demented people (Espín-Andrade, 2009). For those, the variables of interest manipulated in intervention programmes include Assertiveness, Coping, Empathy and Optimism.…”

Propriedades psicométricas da escala de percepção de estressores ocupacionais dos professores (EPEOP)

“…Assim, o estresse ocupacional advém, principalmente, de uma variedade de fontes que estão relacionadas às condições de trabalho em que o trabalhador desenvolve suas atividades laborais, isto é, fatores ambientais e características do trabalho. No entanto, fatores pessoais também são considerados importantes na gênese do estresse (Murta, & Tróccoli 2009;Paschoal, & Tamayo, 2004). Na teoria do enfrentamento (coping) (Lazarus, 1993), a percepção do trabalhador de seus recursos frente às demandas e suas habilidades para enfrentá-las são determinantes no aparecimento do estresse (Lipp, & Malagris, 2001).…”

Enfrentamento da morte fetal pela enfermagem na abordagem disposicional e na Teoria Motivacional do Coping

“…Com este embasamento, foi proposto este estudo do enfrentamento das demandas ocupacionais específicas do trabalho de profissionais de enfermagem, sob um enfoque multidimensional e contextual de análise do coping, o qual tem sido pouco investigado (Rodrigues & Chaves, 2008;Murta & Tróccoli, 2009). As poucas pesquisas sobre o tema têm abordado as estratégias individuais e organizacionais presentes no enfrentamento das demandas ocupacionais do ambiente hospitalar em geral (Araújo, Santo, & Servo, 2009;Martins, 2014), sem considerar especificamente o coping ocupacional diante da situação de morte fetal, por exemplo.…”
