“…O estresse é um dos construtos mais estudados na atualidade, por meio de diferentes propostas instrumentais e aplicações, tais como o estresse no trabalho (Leite et al, 2021;Paschoal & Tamayo, 2004), o estresse percebido (Luft, Sanches, Mazo, & Andrade, 2007), o estresse na alimentação (Santos, Silva, Marôco, & Campos, 2021), o estresse em grupos minoritários sexualmente (Costa et. al., 2020), o estresse acadêmico (Freires, de Sousa, Loureto, Monteiro & Gouveia, 2018;França e Dias, 2021).…”

ResumoO estresse acadêmico impacta negativamente na vida de universitários. Diante disso, o estudo se propôs a investigar a possibilidade do novo cotidiano, derivado da pandemia da COVID-19, impactar nos parâmetros psicométricos da Escala de Estresse Acadêmico (EEA). Para tanto, foram estudadas duas amostras de estudantes universitários. A primeira amostra, denominada pré-pandemia, era composta por 306 sujeitos (coletada em 2018). A segunda amostra foi composta com 337 sujeitos, sendo denominada in-pandemia (coletada entre 2020 e 2021). Inicialmente, buscou-se estudar os parâmetros individuais dos itens e validade fatorial do instrumento nos contextos estudados. Os resultados apontam parâmetros de discriminação e dificuldade similares, com estrutura fatorial igual e ótimos índices de ajuste. Por fim, buscou-se investigar a invariância fatorial do instrumento e o funcionamento diferencial dos itens. Os achados indicam invariância configural e métrica para estudantes em turno único e misto. O funcionamento diferencial foi encontrado em dois momentos, porém com baixo impacto sobre o instrumento.

BACKGROUND: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders for upper limbs (UL-WMSDs) form a complex of occupational diseases common to many professions worldwide. UL-WMSDs are manifested in most cases by pain, resulting in musculoskeletal discomfort. OBJECTIVE: This research aimed to evaluate the perception of musculoskeletal discomfort in workers from the interior of the Brazilian states of Alagoas and Bahia through the construction of a scale to assess musculoskeletal discomfort for upper limb. METHODS: The discomfort assessment scale was constructed from self-reported pain symptoms by 420 workers from the inner regions of the Brazilian states of Alagoas and Bahia. The reliability and dimensionality of the collected data were analyzed by McDonald’s Omega and exploratory factor analysis, respectively. Item Response Theory (IRT) was used to create parameters for the discomfort scale. RESULTS: The musculoskeletal discomfort metric was constructed from the workers’ response with six levels (varying from minimum discomfort to maximum discomfort). At the lowest level of the scale, workers indicated symptoms in the shoulders and wrists were rare. At the highest level of the scale, daily pain symptoms are reported in all regions of the upper limbs. The shoulders are the last region to develop extreme pain symptoms. CONCLUSION: The metric was created to present satisfactory psychometric properties and capable measurement of the workers’ level of musculoskeletal discomfort based on self-reported pain symptoms. Therefore, the metric can support measuring discomfort, contributing to decisions that improve a healthier occupational environment for the worker.

The study analyzed respondents’ demographics, common stressors, coping mechanisms, and significant differences in stressors and coping mechanisms during the pandemic, revealing a significant correlation among sub-categories. It involves students of Sulu State College, Jolo, Sulu. The 214 respondents were selected using random sampling. Frequency and percentage were used to analyze problem 1. Mean and standard deviation for problems 2 and 3. A t-test and an ANOVA were used for problems 4 and 5. And correlational analysis were utilized in problem 6. It was revealed that the respondents often experienced physical stress, sometimes experienced academic and spiritual stress, seldom experienced psychological, social, and environmental stress. It was found that 107, or 50%, of the respondents are 18–25 years old, and only 43, or 20.09%, are below 18 years old. And none of the respondents are 31 years old or older. It was revealed that the respondents often experienced physical stress, sometimes experienced academic and spiritual stress, and seldom experienced psychological, social, and environmental stress. The respondents sometimes employ coping mechanisms for physical, psychological, social, and spiritual stressors. They, however, seldom employ coping mechanisms for academic and environmental stress. No significant differences were found between the stress experienced and the coping mechanisms employed by the respondents when they were grouped according to their demographic profile. No significant correlation was found between the stress experienced and the coping mechanisms employed by the respondents. It was concluded that the respondents suffered from common stressors, and they all employed coping mechanisms for the common stressors.
