Resumen
Professionals in the area of public security live daily with a plurality of feelings, since they
carry out their activities in the midst of high levels of tension. In this field, they are included as
Military, Civil and Criminal Police, whose work environment can reveal daily challenges
capable of negatively influencing the health of individuals. Their duties often spill over into
their personal lives, given that police officers, for example, have professional obligations even
when they are not on duty. In this sense, it is important to understand how these challenges
affect the health of professionals. According to the World Health Organization, health is a state
of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing. As a result, this research seeks to analyze
the relationships between the types of challenges faced by public security professionals and the
components of Social Wellbeing and Social Wellbeing at Work. In order to do so, it was
necessary to build the Public Safety Professionals Challenge Scale, as well as carry out the
cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Social Well-being Scales (SWBS), developed by
Keyes (1998), as well as the Occupational Social Wellbeing Inventory. (OSWI), which was
developed by Ali Kazemi (2017). Keyes (1998) defines Social Wellbeing as a set of challenges
that each individual faces in their social life, encompassing aspects of integration, acceptance
and even contribution to the community and/or society in which they are inserted. In turn,
Occupational Social Wellbeing means social life properly experienced in the context of work
(KAZEMI, 2017). For that, an exploratory and descriptive research was used, of the survey
type, using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The sample consisted of 1292 public
security professionals in Brazil. Data analysis took place through Structural Equation Modeling.
The results demonstrated the statistical adequacy of the constructed scale, as well as the two
foreign scales adapted for Brazil. The hypotheses confirmed that the Health Challenges caused
by the public security profession tend to have a negative impact on all dimensions of Social
Wellbeing and Social Wellbeing at Work. In turn, the results confirmed that Social Challenges
tend to have a negative influence only on the professional's integration with society, on the
professional's trust in other citizens and on the future perspective of society. Still, the study
showed that Social Challenges can increase integration and companionship among co-workers,
although this relationship has not been confirmed with colleagues who have leadership
positions. The conclusions demonstrate the need for continuous assessment of security
professionals regarding these issues and also reinforced the importance of psychological
treatment to prevent illness due to trauma linked to the performance of the profession. As
suggestions for future studies, it highlights the deepening of statistical analyzes that allow
improving the discriminant validity and the face validity of scales. It would also be relevant to
apply the scales in stratified samples, aiming to verify the statistical adequacy for more
homogeneous samples, which have, for example, a symmetrical control of the number of police
officers from different careers, as well as from different genres, professional activities and
regions of the country.
