Psychosocial aspects of work and minor psychic disorders in nursing: use of combined models

Abstract

Objective:to analyze the combined use of models for the evaluation of work-related psychosocial aspects and their association with the prevalence of Minor Psychics Disorders among nursing workers. Method:cross-sectional study with a sample of 285 nursing workers. Data collection was performed through the application of a structured sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire and the Demand-Control-Support, Effort-Reward Imbalance and Self-Reporting Questionnaire. Descriptive analysis and a multiple logistic regression were performed. Results:the prevalence of suspicion of minor psychics disorders was 32.6%. The dimensions of both models were associated with mental health. The full Effort-Reward Imbalance and Demand-Control and Social Support models predict Minor Psychics Disorders to a greater extent than the combined use of partial models. Conclusion:it was found that the Effort-Reward Imbalance model captured better the magnitude of the Minor Psychics Disorders in this sample of workers compared to the Demand-Control and Social Support model. However, the concomitant use of the theoretical models revealed unique contributions in the evaluation of Minor Psychics Disorders. Considering the complexity of mental illnesses, it is important that different factors be evaluated.

Occupational stress and job dissatisfaction with health work

“…After adjusting the confounding variables, the measures of association for the combined model exceeded the prevalence ratios of the partial and full models. This has confirmed a better performance of combined models for investigating the outcomes among health workers (Araújo et al, 2016;Griep et al, 2011;Pinhatti et al, 2018). As the DC and ERI models measure different psychosocial aspects of work, the combined model is empowered to better predict outcomes in the workers' health (Yu et al, 2013).…”

“…More recently, studies in Brazil have also used these models. Additionally, studies have shown the use of combined models for investigating outcomes of the worker's health as each model addresses a specific set of occupational stressors (Araújo, Mattos, MMG, & Santos, 2016;Griep, Rotenberg, Landsbergis, & Vasconcellos-Silva, 2011;Pinhatti et al, 2018;Yu et al, 2013). This is an attempt to minimize the limitations of the isolated models to understand the work environment complexity.…”

“…Em consequência desses fatores, tem-se um profissional desgastado física e mentalmente, com comprometimento da saúde, do desempenho/atenção e da qualidade de vida em geral (PINHATTI, 2018).…”

Estresse ocupacional em enfermeiros que atuam em cuidados paliativos oncológicos: Revisão Integrativa da Literatura

“…Apesar da expressiva importância da enfermagem na estruturação dos serviços de saúde, a fragmentação na forma de organização do trabalho: de forma rígida, com demanda intensa, ritmo e fluxos encharcados e baixa autonomia; somadas às jornadas de trabalho exaustivas e mal remuneradas, cansam e adoecem gradualmente os trabalhadores, física e mentalmente (Carvalho et al, 2020;Pinhatti et al, 2018;Pousa & Lucca, 2021).…”

“…Infere-se que o apoio das instituições aos profissionais, com vista a melhorar o relacionamento interpessoal e pessoal se mostra uma boa conduta no enfrentamento do estresse laboral e prevenção do adoecimento mental (Pinhatti et al, 2018).…”
