RABELO, Ionara Vieira Moura  e  TORRES, Ana Raquel Rosas. Mental health workers: relationship between professional practice and the physical and psychological well-being. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2005, vol.25, n.4, pp.614-625. ISSN 1414-9893.

This article investigates the impact of the psychiatric reform approaches on mental health workers' physical and psychological well-being. The participants were 201 mental health workers who were working in psychiatric hospitals and substitutive services in Goiânia. It was analyzed the correlation between the adhesion to the mental health theoretical model (biological versus psychosocial), workers' satisfaction with their professional activities, local of work (substitutive services versus psychiatric hospitals), time of work, working hours per day and the psychological and physical well-being. It was found that workers that were highly identified with the biological paradigm and were highly satisfied with their professional activities have presented the highest levels of well-being. These results are discussed emphasizing the importance of this kind of analyses for the consolidation of the psychiatric reform in Brazil.
