Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo compreender a forma como as empresas portuguesas lidaram com a emergente problemática da saúde mental em contexto laboral, durante a pandemia. Para tal, realizou-se um estudo de caso para identificar eventuais respostas de empresas portuguesas tendo por base uma análise de pertinência e recetividade ao “Toolkit para empresas: saúde mental em contexto laboral”, desenvolvido pelo GRACE – empresas responsáveis para os seus cerca de 200 Associados. Da resposta de vinte e sete Associados ao inquérito online conclui-se que: a) os principais fatores de pressão foram o confinamento e quarentenas e a perceção de insegurança, ameaça e risco de contágio; b) os fatores moderadores, mais positivos, foram o teletrabalho e os programas e medidas governamentais e, os mais negativos, o histórico clínico sobre saúde mental e a perceção de vulnerabilidade da saúde física; c) as medidas mitigadoras mais utilizadas foram a gestão do teletrabalho e prevenção do isolamento social, bem como o desenvolvimento de um plano de retorno ao local de trabalho. Parece também ser possível afirmar que os novos desafios éticos que emergiram neste período estão relacionados com o medo, designadamente medo do vírus, medo do desconhecido e medo sobre o equilíbrio mental, mas também com a equidade e com a conciliação trabalho/ família. Conclui-se com este trabalho que o GRACE, através deste Toolkit, deu resposta(s) à emergente problemática da saúde mental em contexto laboral.
This dissertation aims to understand how Portuguese companies dealt with the emerging issue of mental health at work during the pandemic. For this purpose, a case study was conducted to identify possible responses from Portuguese companies based on an analysis of the relevance and receptiveness to the “Toolkit para empresas: saúde mental em contexto laboral”, developed by GRACE – empresas responsáveis, for its approximately 200 Associates. From the response of twenty-seven Associates to the online survey it was concluded that: a) the main pressure factors were confinement and quarantines and the perception of insecurity, threat and risk of contagion; b) the most positive moderating factors were teleworking and government programmes and measures and the most negative were the medical history of mental health and the perception of vulnerability of physical health; c) the most commonly used mitigating measures were managing telework and preventing social isolation, as well as developing a return-to-work plan. It also seems possible to state that the new ethical challenges that emerged in this period are related to fear, namely fear of the virus, fear of the unknown and fear about mental balance, but also to equity and work/ family reconciliation. It was concluded that GRACE, through this Toolkit, has given answer(s) to the emerging problem of mental health in the workplace.
