Resumo O estresse ocupacional tem sido objeto de pesquisas em diferentes populações. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a associação entre estresse psicossocial no trabalho e qualidade de vida de nutricionistas que trabalham em hospitais públicos do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Estudo seccional em hospitais da rede pública do município do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Participaram do estudo os nutricionistas com regime de trabalho estatutário ou celetista. O estresse psicossocial no trabalho foi avaliado por meio do questionário de demanda-controle-apoio social (DCSQ). A qualidade de vida foi avaliada por meio do WHOQOL-Bref. O desfecho foi modelado por meio de regressão linear múltipla e ajustado por covariáveis. A demanda de trabalho associou-se inversamente à qualidade de vida nos domínios físico e meio ambiente. O controle do trabalho esteve diretamente associado à qualidade de vida no domínio psicológico. O alto desgaste, em comparação ao baixo desgaste, esteve inversamente associado à qualidade de vida nos domínios físico e psicológico. O apoio social esteve diretamente associado a todos os domínios de qualidade de vida. O estresse psicossocial no trabalho, expresso pelas demandas psicológicas e pelo controle do trabalho, afeta a autoavaliação da qualidade de vida, principalmente no domínio físico.

Abstract Occupational stress has been the object of research in different populations. The aim of this study is to analyze the association between psychosocial job stress and quality of life of nutritionists working in public hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Cross-sectional study in public hospitals with nutritionists working as civil servants and CLT. Psychosocial job stress was assessed through the Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire. Quality of life was assessed through the WHOQOL-Bref. The outcome was modeled by means of multiple linear regression and adjusted by covariates. Job demands were inversely associated with quality of life in the physical and environment domains. Job control was directly associated with quality of life in the psychological domain. High strain, in comparison to low strain, was inversely associated with quality of life in the physical and psychological domains. Social support was directly associated with all fields of quality of life domains. Psychosocial job stress, as expressed by psychological job demands and job control, affects self-assessed quality of life, especially in the physical domain.

En el presente artículo se expone el trabajo de investigación cuyo objetivo fue conocer el grado de satisfacción de las madres con un taller de formación denominado "Entremadres". Las 150 mujeres madres que participaron en el taller en la ciudad de Zaragoza, España, se conformaron en un grupo de 7 u 8 madres y estuvo compuesto por seis sesiones de dos horas cada una, entre los años 2008 y 2013. Este taller fue dirigido a madres con hijos de edades comprendidas entre 2 y 16 años. La frecuencia fue de una sesión a la semana. En cada sesión se pretendió despertar la curiosidad de las participantes, al tratar temas que tuvieran relación con la vida, respetar el ritmo de aprendizaje y las necesidades de cada individuo, promover el trabajo en grupo y fomentar todos los medios posibles de expresión. El instrumento para la recogida de datos fue un cuestionario que se diseñó específicamente para este estudio donde se recogieron sus opiniones, preocupaciones, propuestas de mejora, y resultados de las actividades formativas. Los datos indicaron que las madres participantes mejoraron la asertividad y la escucha activa. Cuando preguntamos a las madres sobre el programa, se mostraron satisfechas con él y consideraron que les resultó útil para mejorar la relación con sus hijos. El programa desarrollado fue eficaz para mejorar las habilidades de comunicación y potenciar el papel de la madre como educadora. Además encontramos un alto grado de satisfacción tras la realización de dicho taller.
