Abstract:

The aim of the study was to verify the prevalence of stress and associated factors in technical-administrative employees from a federal university of southern Brazil. The sample was composed by 371 public servers. Were collected sociodemographic, behavioral and occupational variables. The occupational stress was measured by Job Stress Scale (JSS). Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics, through bivariate and multivariate analysis. Most subjects were female (57.4%) and the age and education average of the sample were, respectively, 45.1 years and 18 years of study. The working structure was classified as inadequate for 42% of subjects. Among technical-administrative, 22.7% were classified as high strain and 28% as passive work. In the adjusted analysis, the occupational stress was associated with lower level of education, poor structure at work and lower social support. Subjects with adequate structure had odds 2.79 and 2.30 respectively for low strain and passive job. These aspects should be focus of interventions by university managers to reduce the level of stress and illness risk.
