“…A consideração da escala PSS em dois fatores, além de manter o modelo original de Cohen et al (1983), suscita a análise de que cada fator remete a um construto distinto na compreensão do fenômeno do estresse (Cerclé, Gadéa, Hartmann, & Lourel, 2008;Leung et al, 2010). Com efeito, o fator negativo parece objetivamente relacionado à uma concepção dual do estresse, neste caso, representando o distress, que é o estado de sofrimento ou desgaste provocado ao sujeito se deparar com condições adversas e não possuir recursos capazes de lidar com a situação (Cohen et al, 2007;Faro & Pereira, 2013;Goldstein & Kopin, 2007).…”

ResumoEste estudo teve como objetivos realizar a análise fatorial confi rmatória da Escala de Estresse Percebido (Perceived Stress Scale -PSS), nas versões traduzidas de 14, 10 e 4 itens; analisar sua validade concorrente com o Questionário de Saúde Geral (QSG-12); mapear o perfi l do estresse em uma amostra representativa da população; e estabelecer parâmetros de avaliação do estresse por meio da normatização dos escores da população total. A amostragem foi de base populacional, em formato de conglomerado por setores censitários. Participaram 1.154 habitantes de uma capital do Nordeste brasileiro, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (55,6%), com nível de escolaridade em ensino médio (51,7%), empregados (72,7%) e não tabagistas (90,6%). As medianas de renda e idade fi caram em R$ 1.200,00 e 29 anos. Ao fi nal, constatou-se que houve ajustes satisfatórios para as três versões da PSS apenas em seu modelo bifatorial e a escala com 10 itens se mostrou uma solução harmônica entre as versões completa e mais reduzida, considerando-se a relação entre a parcimônia na quantidade de itens e a robustez estatística deste instrumento. Ademais, a PSS ratifi cou sua validade concorrente com o QSG-12 e foi feita a normatização dos escores da PSS, estabelecendo-se parâmetros para comparação em futuros estudos.

AbstractThis study aimed to perform a confi rmatory factor analysis of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) in the Brazilian versions of 14, 10, 4 items; to analyze their concurrent validity with the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12); to map the profi le of the stress in a representative sampling; and to establish stress assessment parameters by the standardization of the scores from overall population. The sample was population-based by conglomerate designs and clusters tracts. Thus, 1,154 inhabitants from a capital city of a northeastern state of Brazil participated in the study, mostly female (55.6%), with high school degree (51.7%), employed (72.7%), and nonsmokers (90.6%). The average income and age were BRL 1,200.00 and 29 years old, respectively. By the end, it was found satisfactory adjustments for the three PSS versions but just in its two-factor model; the PSS with 10 items was shown as a harmonious solution between the full and reduced scales considering the relationship between parsimony and statistical robustness of the scale. Furthermore, the PSS ratifi ed its concurrent validity with the GHQ-12. It was also made the scores normalization of the PSS setting up parameters for future comparisons.

“…The likert-type response set ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 9 (strongly agree), such that higher values represent a higher degree of uncertainty about one's cultural identity. individuals experience situations as stressful as a result of overloading (Cohen, et aI., 1983), and is among the most common scales used to measure general stress (Cercle, Gadea, Hartmann, & Lourel, 2008). The items in this study were framed with fourmonth windows because university students tend to experience their lives in four-month increments.…”

“…Primary outcome: Using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS; 29,30), this variable was measured with 14 items rated on a 5-point scale that ranges from (1) ''never'' to (5) ''often.'' Higher scores indicate higher perceived stress.…”

“…Perceived stress is sensitivity to chronic stress stemming from a lifetime of negative circumstances, stress concerning expectations with regard to future events, and have stress reactions to specific events, which included events experienced by PFFs. 30 The second aim of the study was to evaluate SMPs' effectiveness on negative mood, mindfulness, and immunity (secondary outcome variables). A comparison between the two SMPs (TOP and CBF) was assessed.…”

Background: Chronic work-related stress is a well-known public health problem, and it concerns Military populations. Stress responses lead to specific changes in immunity, physiologic systems, and regulation of stress hormones. Overexposure to stress has an important role in the development and courses of mental diseases, as well as being a factor in increased abdominal obesity, osteoporosis, infections, and cardiovascular problems. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of two stress psychologic fitness management programs based on a mind-body approach to stress perception and stress reactivity in a Military population subjected to daily operational stress. Method: 180 young military fire fighter recruits were randomly assigned to a controlled intervention trial including three groups: a cognitive stress program (tactics to Optimized the Potential -TOP) group, an emotional CardioBioFeedback stress program (CBF) group, or a control group. The stress programs training lasted eight weeks, with one hour training per week. A placebo was administered as a nutriceutical in all three groups during the time of the training. Primary outcome variables included the perceived stress; second outcome variables included stress reactivity (mindfulness, negative mood, Immunoglobulin A levels). Post intervention effectiveness on the long-term programs' benefits was evaluated. Results: Both TOP and CBF stress programs reduce operational stress in military population. Although the size of the effects was small, they must be considered at the clinical level. Long-term effects depend on the frequency of daily practice. Results were discussed with reference to mind-body theory. Conclusions: Short stress programs intervention improved stress perception and stress reactivity in healthy workers. Recommendations about mind-body interventions were proposed for the military population.
