Atitudes e o prazer/sofrimento no trabalho em saúde mental

Objective: to investigate the existence of a relationship between attitudinal profi les and the pleasure/suffering dynamic in workers of Mental Health Services. Method: a quantitative, descriptive-analytical, correlational and cross-sectional study conducted in 2014. We used three instruments: characterization questionnaire, Opinions on Mental Illness Scale and Pleasure and Suffering Indicators at Work Scale, answered by 80 workers of the Network for Psychosocial Care of Alfenas, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Results: Authoritarianism proved to be the predominant profi le. As for the pleasure/suffering at work, Gratifi cation was considered adequate, and indicators such as Freedom, Wear and Insecurity were considered moderate critical. There were positive correlations between the most favorable attitudes and pleasure indicators at work. The values of both scales showed a relationship with socio-demographic and professional variables. Conclusion: the less favorable attitudes are prevalent and, in spite of suffering being present, these professionals feel gratifi ed about their work.
