Nos últimos anos, o bem-estar e o equilíbrio entre o trabalho e a vida pessoal dos profissionais de intervenção em emergência têm recebido uma atenção crescente devido à natureza desafiadora e exigente da profissão, sendo que a pandemia de COVID-19 veio despertar ainda mais para a importância desses profissionais e necessidade de se compreender e apoiar tanto o seu bem-estar físico como mental. Todavia, são ainda escassos os estudos sobre o bem-estar desta população, nomeadamente em Portugal. O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral a descrição os níveis de adaptação destes profissionais em relação ao bem-estar e a identificação dos seus principais preditores, explorando em concreto o papel mediador do equilíbrio trabalho-vida pessoal na relação. Participaram no estudo 204 profissionais da área de intervenção em emergência portugueses (e.g., INEM, Bombeiros, Forças de Segurança) que responderam a um conjunto de questionários para avaliar o bem-estar, a satisfação com o trabalho, as competências de literacia em saúde mental e o equilíbrio trabalho-vida pessoal. Os resultados relevam que existem fatores que influenciam de forma positiva o bem-estar, como as características do trabalho, como também o ambiente profissional. Particularmente, os profissionais do INEM e outros serviços de saúde, Corpos de Bombeiros e Sapadores Florestais apresentaram níveis mais elevados de bem-estar em comparação aos profissionais das Forças de Segurança, Forças Armadas, Autoridade Marítima e Aeronáutica, corroborando resultados existentes na literatura que abordam o papel que o ambiente de trabalho e o apoio psicológico têm no bem-estar. No estudo foi realizada uma análise mediação que demonstra o papel mediador do equilíbrio trabalho-vida profissional na relação entre o excesso de horas de trabalho e o bem-estar. Estes resultados sugerem a necessidade de se desenvolverem estratégias de apoio mais consistentes, de modo a promover um melhor equilíbrio trabalho-vida pessoal e o bem-estar e qualidade de vida destes profissionais.
In recent years, the well-being and work-life balance of emergency responders has received increasing attention due to the challenging and demanding nature of the profession, and the COVID-19 pandemic has further emphasised the importance of these professionals and the need to understand and support both their physical and mental well-being. However, there are still few studies on the well-being of this population, particularly in Portugal. The general aim of this study is to describe the levels of adaptation of these professionals in relation to wellbeing and to identify their main predictors, specifically exploring the mediating role of worklife balance in the relationship. The study involved 204 Portuguese emergency intervention professionals (e.g. INEM, Firefighters, Security Forces) who answered a set of questionnaires to assess well-being, job satisfaction, mental health literacy skills and work-life balance. The results show that there are factors that have a positive influence on well-being, such as work characteristics and the professional environment. In particular, professionals from INEM and other health services, Fire Brigades and Forestry Sappers showed higher levels of well-being compared to professionals from the Security Forces, Armed Forces, Maritime Authority and Aeronautics, corroborating existing results in the literature that address the role that the work environment and psychological support play in well-being. The study carried out a mediation analysis that demonstrates the mediating role of work-life balance in the relationship between excessive working hours and well-being. These results suggest the need to develop more consistent support strategies in order to promote a better work-life balance and the well-being and quality of life of these professionals.
