Abstract(s)
Os agentes da Polícia Marítima Portuguesa (PMP), enquanto profissionais de intervenção
primária, participam em missões de salvamento de pessoas em situação de refúgio, estando
cumulativamente expostos a acontecimentos potencialmente traumáticos passíveis da criação
de sofrimento psicológico. A religião, enquanto sistema de crenças, fornece um conjunto de
regras que informa comportamentos, atribui sentido a acontecimentos extremos e contribui
para o ajustamento psicológico ao trauma em pessoas crentes. O presente estudo qualitativo,
baseado no Modelo teórico de Atribuição de Sentido de Park (2010), explorou o papel da
religião nos processos de atribuição de sentido de 30 agentes da PMP, subsequentes às
missões de salvamento no Mar Mediterrâneo. Através da análise temática, identificámos
quatro temas relacionadas com: questionamentos acerca da religião; atribuição da
responsabilidade dos acontecimentos extremos ao ser humano; sentido de missão informado
por valores religiosos; e processos de aceitação dos acontecimentos extremos informados pela
religião. Os resultados sugerem que a religião possui um papel implícito no funcionamento
psicológico dos agentes, informando práticas, pensamentos e normas mantidos no contexto
profissional, tal como nos processos de aceitação dos acontecimentos potencialmente
traumáticos enfrentados nas missões de resgate e salvamento de pessoas em situação de
refúgio.
ABSTRACT: The Portuguese Maritime Police officers (PMP), who are part of the first responders category, are involved in the rescue missions of displaced people and are cumulatively exposed to potentially traumatic events that could create psychological distress. Religion, as a meaning system, provides a set of rules that inform behaviour, gives meaning to extreme events and contributes to the psychological adjustment to trauma in religious individuals. The present qualitative study, based on the Meaning-Making model by Park (2010), explored the role of religion in the meaning-making processes of 30 PMP officers who took part in rescue missions in the Mediterranean Sea. Through thematic analysis, we identified four themes related to: questioning religion; attributing responsibility for the traumatic events to the human being; mission’s spirit being informed by religion; and the acceptance processes being influenced by religion. The results suggest that religion has an implicit role in the psychological function of the officers, informing their behaviour, thoughts and values within the professional environment. Religion also takes part in the acceptance processes of the potentially traumatic events observed during the rescue missions of displaced people.
