Resumo: The purpose of the study was to assess stress, coping, and quality of life of professionals in substitutive mental health services. Twenty-five professionals participated in this study.

Participaram 25 profissionais. Aplicaram-se os seguintes instrumentos: Inventário de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos, Inventário de Estratégias de Enfrentamento e Escala de Qualidade de Vida. Os resultados apontaram que 36% dos profissionais apresentavam estresse, maior uso da estratégia de suporte social e maior satisfação com o domínio social da qualidade de vida. Profissionais com presença de estresse utilizaram mais as estratégias de afastamento e fuga-esquiva. Conclui-se que os profissionais de saúde mental, sob estresse, empregam mais estratégias de enfrentamento centradas na emoção. É necessária a elaboração e o desenvolvimento de intervenções que auxiliem esses profissionais no manejo de situações estressantes.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2010-12-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/17475Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 26 No. 3 (2010): Vol. 26, N. 3; 543-548Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 26 Núm. 3 (2010): Vol. 26, N. 3; 543-548Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 26 No. 3 (2010): Vol. 26, N. 3; 543-548Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 26 n. 3 (2010): Vol. 26, N. 3; 543-5481806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
