Resumo: The objective of this study is to investigate the role of self-efficacy beliefs as a mediator of the relationship between the subjective well-being and general health of military cadets (police and firefighters). For this study, 228 cadets participated, the majority being Military Police officer candidates (65%), male (79%), between 17 and 34 years of age (99%), and unmarried (74%). They responded to questionnaires on general health (GHQ-12), perceived general self-efficacy, to the multiple scales that cover subjective well-being, and demographic questions. Initial regression analyses indicate the predictive power of subject well-being regarding general health. Subsequently, the mediation analyses provide satisfactory evidence for the role of perceived self-efficacy as a mediator of the relationship between the subjective well-being variables and the overall health of military cadets. The implications of these results for the professional training of the cadets are discussed.

La muestra estuvo formada por 228 cadetes, siendo la mayoría de agentes de la policía (65%), hombres (79%), con edades comprendidas entre 17 y 34 años (99%), y declarados solteros (74%). Se utilizó un cuestionario con variables de salud general (QSG-12), autoeficacia general percibida, múltiples escalas que componen el bienestar y cuestiones sociodemográficas. El análisis inicial de regresión mostró que el bienestar es un predictor de la salud general. Posteriormente, los análisis de mediación mostraron satisfactoriamente ante el papel la creencia en la autoeficacia como mediador de la relación entre las variables del bienestar y la salud general de los cadetes militares. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados en la formación de los cadetes.O objetivo do presente estudo é investigar o papel da crença na autoeficácia como mediadora da relação entre o bem-estar subjetivo e a saúde geral de cadetes militares (policiais e bombeiros). Para tanto, participaram 228 cadetes, sendo a maioria de oficiais da Polícia Militar (65%), do sexo masculino (79%), com idades variando entre 17 e 34 anos (99%), e declarados solteiros (74%). Estes responderam às medidas de saúde geral (QSG-12), autoeficácia geral percebida, as múltiplas escalas que compõem o bem-estar subjetivo e perguntas demográficas. Análises iniciais de regressão apontam o poder preditivo do bem-estar subjetivo sobre a saúde geral. Posteriormente, as análises de mediação fornecem evidências satisfatórias para o papel da crença na autoeficácia como mediador da relação entre as variáveis do bem-estar subjetivo e a saúde geral de cadetes militares. As implicações destes resultados na formação dos cadetes são discutidas.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2014-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5642Reports in Public Health; Vol. 30 No. 11 (2014): NovemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 30 n. 11 (2014): Novembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5642/11721https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5642/11722Luciane Albuquerque Sá de SouzaAna Raquel Rosas TorresGenário Alves BarbosaTiago Jessé Souza de LimaLuana Elayne Cunha de Souzainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:50Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/5642Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:06:27.652092Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
