Psychosocial risks within prison serviceDOI: 10.19204/2016/psyh4, PP. 23-28 Subject Areas: Public Health, Health Policy, Global Health, Psychiatry & Psychology Keywords: "Psychosocial factors", "police officers", "prisons", "social environment" Abstract We aimed to identify the psychosocial risks that penitentiary police officers face. To do so, we developed the police stress risk questionnaire–prison (PSrQ–p), a questionnaire for psychosocial risk assessment at workplace, consisting of 22 items that investigated five macro dimensions: isolation, social image, firearms license, variety of work and roles/responsibilities. We tested this tool on a sample of 1,346 subjects, and testing is on-going. From the data obtained, we confirmed the hypothesis of psychophysical and negative social image relative to the isolation experienced by penitentiary police officers. Ferrari, G. (3).
