Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo avaliar e compreender as atitudes dos guardas
prisionais face aos delinquentes. Para além disso, pretende verificar a presença ou não da
síndrome de burnout e de sintomas psicopatológicos (depressão, ansiedade, hostilidade, ideação
paranoide) e, avaliar a relação entre burnout e sintomas psicopatológicos em guardas prisionais
de modo a entender que tipo de influência têm nas suas atitudes. Para tal, foram aplicados a
Escala de Atitudes em Relação aos Delinquentes (EARD), a Medida de Burnout de Shirom Melamed (MBSM) e o Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos (BSI) a uma amostra de 132
guardas prisionais. Os resultados revelaram que os guardas prisionais evidenciaram atitudes
negativas face aos delinquentes. Relativamente ao burnout e aos sintomas psicopatológicos os
resultados obtidos foram baixos, mas foram encontradas correlações significativas, positivas e
fortes entre estas variáveis. Estes resultados salientam a importância da formação profissional
dos guardas prisionais para a tomada de consciência de certos sintomas psicopatológicos e das
suas atitudes face aos delinquentes, atendendo ao papel ressocializador que estes têm na
sociedade.
ABSTRACT: The main objective of this study is to evaluate and understand the attitudes of prison officers towards offenders. Furthermore, it aims to verify the presence or not of burnout syndrome and psychopathological symptoms (depression, anxiety, hostility, paranoid ideation) and evaluate their relationship with prison officers to understand what type of influence it has on their attitudes. The Attitudes towards Delinquents Scale (EARD), the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM) and the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) were applied to a sample of 132 prison officers. The results revealed that prison officers showed negative attitudes towards offenders. Regarding burnout and psychopathological symptoms, the results obtained were weak, but significant, positive and strong correlations were found between these variables. These results highlight the importance of professional training for prison officers to become aware of certain personality characteristics and their attitudes towards offenders, given the resocializing role they have in society.
