Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the association of sociodemographic and occupational characteristics with a high level of perceived stress in motorcycle taxi drivers. Method: Cross-sectional study carried out with motorcycle taxi drivers who answered instruments on sociodemographic and occupational variables - Perceived Stress Scale, Job Content Questionnaire and Effort-Reward Imbalance. Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s chi-square test and Poisson regression with robust variance were used. Statistical significance was 5%. Results: Of the 800 motorcycle taxi drivers, 46.8% had a high level of perceived stress. In the multivariate analysis, a high level of stress was associated with low control over work (PR=7.76; 95%CI=5.19-11.61), low social support at work (PR=3.87; 95%CI =2.95 5.08), working hours longer than eight hours a day (RP=1.47; 95%CI=1.21-1.78) and monthly income less than or equal to two minimum wages (PR=1.34;95%CI=1.13-2.58). Conclusion: Long working hours, occupational stressors and low income were associated with a high level of perceived stress. Public policies and interventions to minimize occupational stressors are essential. RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar associação de características sociodemográficas e ocupacionais com alto nível de estresse percebido em mototaxistas. Método: Estudo transversal realizado com mototaxistas que responderam a instrumentos sobre variáveis sociodemográficas e ocupacionais - Perceived Stress Scale, Job Content Questionnaire e Effort-Reward Imbalance. Empregou-se a estatística descritiva, teste qui-quadrado de Pearson e regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. A significância estatística foi 5%. Resultados: Dos 800 mototaxistas, 46,8% apresentaram alto nível de estresse percebido. Na análise multivariada, o alto nível de estresse foi associado com baixo controle sobre o trabalho (RP=7,76; IC95%=5,19-11,61), baixo suporte social no trabalho (RP=3,87; IC95%=2,95 5,08), jornada de trabalho maior que oito horas por dia (RP=1,47; IC95%=1,21-1,78) e renda mensal menor ou igual a dois salários mínimos (RP=1,34; IC95%=1,13-2,58). Conclusão: Extensa jornada de trabalho, estressores ocupacionais e baixa renda foram associados ao alto nível de estresse percebido. Políticas públicas e intervenções para minimizar estressores ocupacionais são imprescindíveis. RESUMEN Objetivo: Investigar relación de características sociodemográficas y ocupacionales con alto nivel de estrés percibido en mototaxistas. Método: Estudio tra
