Abstract:

The paper discusses the relationship between work and psychic suffering in police officers of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Data were obtained from self completed questionnaire applied to these professionals in three separate studies: Capital, Interior and Baixada. We investigated the socio demographic profile, quality of life, health and working conditions. The psychic suffering was measured by the SRQ-20. We used a logistic regression model to identify factors associated with psychic suffering. The results showed that the following variables were associated with psychic suffering: level of satisfaction with the ability to react to difficult situations, perform the work for which he was trained, having suffered some victimization, the location area of the unit (Capital, Interior, Baixada), problems in the nervous system and the degree of satisfaction with life as a whole. Those who reported problems of the nervous system and victimization showed an OR of 7.25 and 3.08, respectively. The degree of satisfaction with the ability to react to difficult situations and life as a whole, the professionals who considered themselves dissatisfied or very dissatisfied showed an OR of 10.85 and 6.69, respectively, when compared with those who considered themselves satisfied or very satisfied. Professionals from Baixada have increased risk of psychic suffering and from the Interior, reduced.
