“…Such work starts with the assumption that powerlessness or a "lack of control over destiny" severely undermines the health of people in chronically marginalized or demanding situations (Wallerstein, 1992). Disempowered people, who have little control over important aspects of their lives, are less likely to feel that they can take control over their health, and are less likely to engage in health-enhancing behaviours (Bandura, 1996).…”

“…On the one hand the activities of this programme are fairly typical, including the aggressive detection and treatment of other sexually transmitted diseases (STD's), which increase a person's vulnerability to HIV infection, as well as health education and condom promotion. However, project design is based on the insight that changes in sexual behaviour (in particular increased condom use) and health-seeking behaviour (including the appropriate and speedy accessing of appropriate STD treatment) are unlikely to occur without three interlocking factors: the widespread renegotiation of the social and sexual identities of persons living in highrisk communities (Stockdale, 1995); increased levels of perceived control over their health (Bandura, 1996); and the promotion of community contexts which enable and support the desired behaviour changes (Tawil et al, 1995).…”

This paper provides a detailed account of the social organisation of commercial sex work in a squatter camp in a South African gold mining community. On the basis of in-depth interviews with 21 women, living in conditions of poverty and violence, the paper examines factors which might serve to help or hinder a newly implemented community-based peer education and condom distribution project aimed at vulnerable single women. Attention is given to the way in which the routine organisation of sex workers' everyday working and living conditions, as well as the strategies they use to construct positive social identities despite working in the most stigmatised of professions, serve to undermine their confidence in their ability to insist on condom use in sexual encounters with reluctant clients. However, even amongst this disadvantaged group of women, the interviews suggest that the tendency to speak of women's 'powerlessness' (as is the case in many studies of African women in the context of the HIV epidemic) is unduly simplistic and fails to take account of the range of coping strategies and social support networks that women have constructed to deal with their day to day life challenges. These strategies and networks could serve as potentially strong resources for community-based sexual health promotion programmes.

“…De acordo com Bandura (1995), esse comportamento ativo se dá por meio de um mecanismo-chave, conhecido como autoefi cácia. Trata-se das crenças que os indivíduos têm sobre sua capacidade de organizar e desempenhar condutas necessárias para alcançar suas metas e objetivos (Bandura, 1995).…”

ResumoEste trabalho tem por objetivo testar a hipótese de que a autoefi cácia atua como mediador entre o bem-estar subjetivo e o burnout. Participaram 228 cadetes, com idade média de 24 anos (DP = 0,85), sendo 148 policiais e 80 bombeiros. As análises de regressão demonstram que as variáveis do bem--estar subjetivo, principalmente a vitalidade subjetiva e os afetos negativos, predizem signifi cativamente o burnout e suas subdimensões. As análises de mediação feitas provêm evidências empíricas satisfatórias para o papel mediador desempenhado pela autoefi cácia. Esses resultados poderão apoiar o planejamento de intervenções que visem o fortalecimento da autoefi cácia em cadetes. A academia deve fornecer aos cadetes não apenas as técnicas e conhecimentos imprescindíveis para a atuação profi ssional, mas também proporcionar o desenvolvimento de mecanismos de autorregulação que possibilitem um senso maior de autoefi cácia, além de condições educacionais e laborais adequadas. Palavras-chave: Autoefi cácia, burnout, bem-estar subjetivo. AbstractThis study aimed to test the hypothesis of the mediating role of self-effi cacy between subjective well-being and burnout in military cadets. The participants were 228 cadets at a military academy, 148 police offi ces and 80 fi refi ghters, at a mean age of 24 years (SD = .85). Regression analyses showed that the subjective well-being variables, mainly subjective vitality and negative affects, signifi cantly predict burnout and its subdimensions. The analyses of mediation provide satisfactory empirical evidence for the mediating role played by belief in self-effi cacy. These results can support the planning of interventions aimed at strengthening self-effi cacy in cadets. The academy should provide cadets not only with the technical and essential knowledge for professional practice, but also provide the development of self-regulation mechanisms that allow for a greater sense of self-effi cacy, in addition to appropriate educational and working conditions.

Este é o caso, por exemplo, de policiais e bombeiros militares, que estão sujeitos a situações que podem por em risco suas vidas, além de terem que lidar com condições precárias de trabalho decorrentes de uma estrutura pública por vezes defi citária. De acordo com alguns estudos, estes profi ssionais são mais susceptíveis a apresentar sintomatologia de estresse no trabalho, níveis elevados de sofrimento físico e psíquico e burnout (E. R.
