Um olhar para a saúde mental dos profissionais de atendimento pré-hospitalar em instituições filantrópicas: uma revisão integrativa de literatura

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the mental health of pre-hospital care professionals in philanthropic institutions, highlighting the relevance of this theme for the quality of life of workers and the efficiency of the services provided. Through an integrative literature review, recent studies that address risk factors and mental health protection of these professionals, as well as institutional psychological support strategies, were analyzed. The research reveals that these workers are subject to high levels of stress, emotional exhaustion and physical exhaustion, resulting from the exhausting nature of rescue and first aid work. It is concluded that it is essential that institutions adopt mental health support policies to minimize the negative impacts of this routine, promoting a healthier and safer work environment for these professionals.
