STEPHAN, Francesca et al. Moral harassment/mobbing and mental health: a systematic literature review. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. []. 2018, 11, 2, pp.236-257. ISSN 1983-8220. https://doi.org/10.36298/gerais2019110205.
Workplace bullying (or mobbing) is a sort of interpersonal violence that damages health and welfare of workers. This research analyzed articles about the link between "workplace bullying" and "mental health/illness". A systematic literature review was performed in several databases, associating the terms "mental health/illness" and "workplace bullying/mobbing", in Portuguese, English and Spanish, between 2005 and 2017. One hundred and six articles were found. It was observed that the year of greatest publication was 2012 with nineteen articles. Brazil published twenty-seven articles and Spain eighteen. Thirteen articles studied health workers, forty-five articles used quantitative methodology and thirty literature reviews were found. As a result, we highlight the presence of depression and suicidal ideation as the main consequences observed and productions on measures of prevention and intervention of bullying at work.
