Resumo

Objetivo: Questões bioéticas foram levantadas entre agentes comunitários de saúde sobre as percepções e ameaças enfrentadas por eles durante suas atividades diárias de trabalho. Deste modo, questionários são necessários para avaliar os problemas enfrentados por esses profissionais e os efeitos psicológicos enfrentados por trabalhadores na área de cuidados primários. Para isso, este estudo demonstra a confiabilidade de uma dupla escala baseada em um estudo piloto envolvendo agentes comunitários de saúde. Métodos: Uma investigação metodologicamente validada e baseada em escala foi desenvolvida incluindo 97 agentes comunitários de saúde nas cidades brasileiras de Riacho Fundo I e Riacho Fundo II, localizadas na região administrativa de Brasília. Resultados: A consistência interna da escala de percepção mostrou bons valores de coeficiente alfa de Cronbach (0,76 no geral, e >0,75 para as diferentes dimensões). Além disso, o fator de análise apresentou uma solução de 3 fatores com significância proporcional. Conclusão: A escala mostra boa confiabilidade e boas propriedades psicométricas, e tem potencial para uso em pesquisas futuras.
