“…Particularly in Brazil, violence was observed both between prisoners and officers, and prisoners with each other [23,50], which probably raises great concern among POs. The sustained level of violence inside prisons can make people apprehensive, particularly if these prisons fail to implement serious measures to prevent and manage violence.…”

This study analyzed factors associated with the quality of life (QoL) of prison officers (POs) in the Midwest Region of Brazil. POs in five penitentiary units participated in this cross-sectional study. Sociodemographic data were obtained through face to face interview and a World Health Organization Quality of Life abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire was applied to assess QoL. Student’s t-test or ANOVA were used for bivariate analysis and multiple linear regression was applied for adjusted analysis. The domains used for outcomes were: physical, psychological, social relations, and the environment. The lowest score among WHOQOL-BREF domains was environment (59.9; 95%CI 58.0–61.5). After adjustment, the factors associated with the physical domain were ‘female sex’ and ‘no history of workplace PO-PO violence’; factors associated with the psychological domain were ‘female sex’, ‘without spouse’, and ‘no history of inmate-PO violence’; factors associated with the social relationships domain were ‘female sex’, ‘work experience in years’, ‘no higher education’, ‘no private health insurance’, and ‘no history of inmate-PO violence’; and factors associated with environment domain were ‘female sex’, ‘work experience in years’, ‘no private health insurance’, and ‘no history of PO-PO violence’. This study showed that female workers and those with a history of violence at work had worse QoL scores. This investigation highlights the importance of prison management in promoting QoL of POs, as well as support and development of strategies to prevent workplace violence.

“…Despite the occupancy rate of 171.62%, the prison population has been growing at a rate of approximately 6% per year [21]. Additionally, in Brazil as well as in other countries there are other aggravating conditions such as an increase in inmate members of organized crime, unsafe working conditions, and riots [22][23][24].…”

“…Studies conducted among COs in several countries showed that the tension, stress, psychological/emotional suffering, night shifts, and work overload are factors that can explain how the prison environment influences the health of the group in question. 26,27 Generalized stress and stress in the workplace affect between 19% and 30% of employees in different sectors. 28 In prisons, this proportion grows, and about 41.2% of COs show signs of stress related to the type of work and environment in which they perform their duties.…”

Objectives To estimate hypertension prevalence and associated factors among female correctional officers (FCO) in female Brazilian prisons. Methods Cross‐sectional, analytical study conducted in 15 female prisons in all five Brazilian regions between January 2014 and December 2015. The study population consisted of correctional officers with at least 6 months in the position. The sampling included 40% of FCO present in the prison during data collection, yielding 295 FCOs. Data were collected via Audio Computer‐Assisted Self‐Interview . A physical examination of participants was conducted including blood pressure, weight, and waist and hip circumference. The Odds Ratio and confidence intervals for independent factors were estimated. Results Hypertension prevalence in correctional officers was 37.9%, (95% CI 32.1‐44.0). Hypertension was associated with obesity (95% CI = 1.884‐9.947), cardiovascular disease (95% CI = 3.348‐16.724), and participation in the specific training course for the relevant position (95% CI = 1.413‐9.564). Conclusions While findings, except for the last factor, are not novel, this is the first such study conducted in Brazil. Hypertension prevalence among this pool of all female correctional officers is higher than in the average population, and FCOs associate this with the prison environment. Current training does not appear to address this problem. Especially since prison populations are growing in Brazil, this problem needs to be addressed for the health of the FCOs and the prisoners in their care.

“…A respeito do trabalho em equipe, Ferreira et al (2017) verificaram a prevalência e fatores associados à violência no ambiente de trabalho em ASP do sexo feminino no Brasil e constatou diversos aspectos que deterioram as boas relações entre os colegas de uma mesma equipe, colaborando para um aumento na tensão já pré-existente devido a função. Jaskowiak e Fontana (2015) reconhecem que mediante às condições precárias de trabalho e a rotina de suas atividades funcionais a saúde dos ASP fica exposta à riscos físicos e mentais.…”

Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo de caráter exploratório com o objetivo de analisar a concepção de saúde dos agentes penitenciários de uma cadeia pública feminina de município do médio norte mato-grossense. O estudo foi realizado em outubro de 2016, através de entrevistas com auxílio de roteiro semiestruturado elaborado pelos próprios pesquisadores. As entrevistas foram transcrita na íntegra e organizadas de forma sistematizada, submetendo a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram trabalhadores jovens, predominância do sexo feminino, casadas, com alto nível de instrução e renda mensal que ultrapassam à da maioria da população brasileira. Esses profissionais apresentam uma concepção de que a saúde se refere a ausência de patologias, acesso ao serviço e o bom atendimento, além de estar atrelada ao ambiente de trabalho e as relações interpessoais. Estudos nesse ambiente podem oferecer maior nitidez sobre as vulnerabilidades dos profissionais, de modo a subsidiar o desenvolvimento de ações de promoção de saúde e garantia dos direitos humanos.Palavras-chave: Promoção da Saúde.

CONCEPTION OF HEALTH BY PROFESSIONALS FROM A FEMALE PUBLIC PRISON IN THE INTERIOR OF MATO GROSSOABSTRACT: This is a qualitative study of an exploratory nature with the objective of analyzing the health conception of penitentiary agents in a female public chain in a municipality in the middle north of Mato Grosso. The study was conducted in October 2016, through interviews with a semi-structured script prepared by the researchers themselves. The interviews were transcribed in full and organized in a systematized manner, submitting the content analysis. The results revealed young workers, predominantly female, married, with a high level of education and a monthly income that surpasses that of the majority of the Brazilian population. These professionals present a concept that health refers to the absence of pathologies, access to the service and good care, in addition to being linked to the work environment and interpersonal relationships. Studies in this environment can offer greater clarity about the vulnerabilities of professionals, in order to subsidize the development of health promotion actions and guarantee of human rights.Keywords: Health Promotion.
