          Abstract

          Introduction:

          Given that psychosocial risks may be sources of stress at work and also encourage the presence of burnout, members of state security services are likely to present high levels of this syndrome.

          Objectives:

          To describe the prevalence and relationship between burnout and unhealthy habits amongst workers of the Argentine Federal Prison Service (SPF).

          Material and method:

          An ex post-facto study was carried out with descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative and comparative analyses. We used the Spanish adaptations of the Maslach Burnout Inventory MBI-HSS (Maslach and Jackson, 1986), the Test For Nicotine Dependence (Fagerström, 1978) and the Body Mass Index in 151 prison officers (88 men and 63 women of 22 to 52 years).

          Results:

          The prevalence of burnout was 6.62%, while the results for dimensions were: smoking 37.09%, passive smoking 70.20%, overweight 45.03% and obesity 44.37%. The dimensions of burnout showed that differences between groups indicate a higher level of emotional exhaustion in treatment and treatment functions, passive smokers and those who consume less fruit and vegetables on a weekly basis. There was greater depersonalization in subjects that are currently smoking. There was lower personal fulfillment in obese people, passive smokers, current smokers, moderate level smokers, those who consume less fruit and vegetables every week and those with obesity.

          Discussion:

          Smoking and high body mass index and links with eating habits are factors that may negatively affect the health and wellbeing of prison officers in terms of personal accomplishment.

          Resumen

          Introducción:

          Se considera que los riesgos psicosociales pueden ser fuentes de estrés laboral y también favorecer la presencia del síndrome de burnout (SBO, síndrome del desgaste profesional o del trabajador quemado), siendo las personas integrantes de organismos de las fuerzas de seguridad del Estado quienes manifestarían altos niveles de este síndrome.

          Objetivos:

          Describir la prevalencia y relación existente entre el SBO y ciertos hábitos nocivos para la salud en trabajadores del Servicio Penitenciario Federal (SPF) de Argentina.

          Material y método:

          Se realizó un estudio ex post facto (con posterioridad a los hechos) con análisis descriptivo, transversal, comparativo y correlacional. Se administraron las adaptaciones al castellano del Maslach Burnout Inventory-version Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) (Maslach y Jackson, 1986), el Test For Nicotine Dependence (Fagerström, 1978) y el índice de masa corporal (IMC), a 151 trabajadores penitenciarios, 88 hombres y 63 mujeres de 22 a 52 años.

          Resultados:

          La prevalencia del SBO fue de 6,62%; de tabaquismo, 37,09%; de fumadores pasivos, 70,20%; de sobrepeso, 45,03%; y de obesidad, 44,37%. En cuanto a las dimensiones del SBO, las diferencias entre grupos indican un mayor nivel de agotamiento emocional en las actividades de trato y tratamiento, fumadores pasivos y quienes consumen menor cantidad de frutas y verduras semanalmente; mayor despersonalización en fumadores actuales; y mayores puntajes en la dimensión de realización personal en obesos, fumadores pasivos, fumadores actuales, con tabaquismo de nivel moderado, en quienes semanalmente consumen menor cantidad de frutas y verduras y en aquellos con obesidad.

          Discusión:

          El tabaquismo, el IMC elevado y su vinculación con los hábitos alimenticios son factores que afectarían negativamente a la salud y el bienestar laboral de los funcionarios penitenciarios, especialmente respecto al nivel de realización personal.

            Work stress, smoking status, and smoking intensity: an observational study of 46,190 employees.

            To examine the relation between work stress, as indicated by the job strain model, and the effort-reward imbalance model, and smoking. Ten municipalities and 21 hospitals in Finland. Binary logistic regression models for the prevalence of smoking were related to survey responses of 37,309 female and 8881 male Finnish public sector employees aged 17-65. Separate multinomial logistic regression models were calculated for smoking intensity for 8130 smokers. In addition, binary logistic regression models for ex-smoking were fitted among 16,277 former and current smokers. In all analyses, adjustments were made for age, basic education, occupational status, type of employment, and marital status. Respondents with high effort-reward imbalance or lower rewards were more likely to be smokers. Among smokers, an increased likelihood of higher intensity of smoking was associated with higher job strain and higher effort-reward imbalance and their components such as low job control and low rewards. Smoking intensity was also higher in active jobs in women, in passive jobs, and among employees with low effort expenditure. Among former and current smokers, high job strain, high effort-reward imbalance, and high job demands were associated with a higher likelihood of being a current smoker. Lower effort was associated with a higher likelihood of ex-smoking. This evidence suggests an association between work stress and smoking and implies that smoking cessation programmes may benefit from taking into account the modification of stressful features of work environment.
