Abstract(s)
Introdução: Com a pandemia de COVID-19, muitos psicólogos clínicos viram-se obrigados a
trabalhar remotamente, de modo a garantir a continuidade do acompanhamento e da prestação
de cuidados de saúde mental. Objetivos: O presente estudo teve como objetivo explorar a
relação entre o teletrabalho e o equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e profissional numa amostra de
psicólogos clínicos. Método: Foi aplicado um questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de
Estatuto Social Subjetivo de MacArthur, a Escala de Conflito-Trabalho-Vida Privada e o
Inventário de Saúde Mental-5 a 203 psicólogos clínicos portugueses. Resultados: Verificou-se
que mulheres, psicólogos com 1 filho, que reportaram menor saúde mental e trabalham mais
horas semanalmente apresentaram maior conflito entre a vida pessoal e profissional.
Contrariamente, psicólogos com maior estatuto social subjetivo, que estipulam o seu horário,
que tomaram a decisão de ingressar em teletrabalho e que possuem um espaço dedicado
exclusivamente ao teletrabalho demonstraram maior equilíbrio entre ambos os domínios.
Nenhuma variável pareceu influenciar a decisão de ingressar em regime híbrido ou teletrabalho.
Conclusão: Os resultados parecem sugerir que os psicólogos clínicos que trabalham mais
horas, que não estipulam o seu horário e que reportam menor saúde mental têm maior
probabilidade de enfrentar maior conflito entre ambos os domínios. O teletrabalho não
demonstrou estar relacionado com o equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e profissional; contudo, foi
possível identificar fatores que podem comprometer o equilíbrio entre as esferas de vida destes
profissionais, gerando conhecimento científico capaz de ajudar os psicólogos clínicos no
desenvolvimento de estratégias para conciliar a esfera pessoal e profissional.
ABSTRACT: Introduction: With the COVID-19 pandemic, many clinical psychologists were forced to work from home, to guarantee continuity of monitoring and provision of mental health care. Objectives: The present study aimed to explore the relationship between telecommuting and work-life balance in a sample of clinical psychologists. Methods: Several instruments were applied to 203 Portuguese clinical psychologists, such as a sociodemographic questionnaire, the MacArthur Subjective Social Status Scale, the Work-Private Life Conflict Scale and the Mental Health Inventory-5. Results: It was possible to verify that women, psychologists with 1 child, who reported lower mental health and work more hours per week had greater conflict between personal and professional life. On the other hand, psychologists with higher subjective social status, who stipulate their own professional’s schedule, that made the decision to start telecommuting and who have a space dedicated exclusively to remote work demonstrated greater work-life balance. No variable was found to influence the decision to start or not a hybrid mode or remote work. Conclusion: The results seem to suggest that clinical psychologists who work longer hours, who do not stipulate their own schedule and who report lower mental health are more likely to face greater work-life conflict. Telecommuting has not been shown to be related to work-life balance; however, it was possible to identify factors that could compromise the work-life balance of these professionals, generating scientific knowledge capable of helping clinical psychologists develop strategies to reconcile the personal and professional spheres.
