The workers have been increasingly confronted with situations where the level of demand regarding work activity increases, while the individual and collective resources available to address them decrease. In its classic definition, psychosocial risks are a number of aspects that affect workers and are usually related to the occurrence of stress, psychological or sexual harassment and other forms of violence, leading to several manifestations of subjective distress as illness, depression and even suicide. This work, in turn, is aligned to a counter-hegemonic perspective of psychosocial risk understanding that the risk can not be restricted to consideration of external stress factors, but must necessarily take into account the management of such stressors by the individual involved. The proposal is to investigate what margin that workers in psychosocial risk collective situation have to effectively perform a job that they themselves assess how well done, in addition to developing the practice. The research described herein combined quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches, non-sequential manner, including two studies in dialogue: 1. A first epidemiological study that investigates the survey type from the JCQ questionnaire (Job Content Questionnaire)-KARASEK-BRAZIL and one Socio-Demographic and functional Sheet, with a representative sample of the reference population. 2. A second study was the clinical approach to the work activity of two nursing technicians, through instruction to double. The integration of the analysis of the two studies it was established that the occupation in question can effectively be characterized as submitted collectively the context of psychosocial risk, which mobilizes forms of greater or lesser effectiveness for individual management of those situations. Data from the first study did not confirm that the professional researched gender can be considered in risk situation. However, the sample has an internal bias demonstrated by the existence of two groups characterized by different levels of work-related stress. The level of collective stress evidenced by the instrument does not seem very different from what would be obtained from a large sample of occupation, but this would need to go through an empirical verification. The data from the second study, moreover, show that the power to act on demand occupation consideration both external aspects, the aspects related to the shape of the individual deal with those aspects. These data support, so a design perspective of psychosocial risk that exceeds the hygienist approach of limiting this risk to external factors related to work organization.Acesso AbertoRiscos psicossociais no trabalhoGestão do poder de agir profissionalAtividade laboral de técnicos de enfermagemClínica da atividademasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::PSICOLOGIA
