Influencia de las habilidades de afrontamiento en el trastorno de adaptación por estrés laboral.

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration project addresses adjustment disorder due to work-related stress, identified during clinical psychology practicums. Based on this observation, a research question was formulated, and a systematic review of scientific literature was conducted focusing on the relationship between coping skills and work-related stress in healthcare professionals. The analyzed studies demonstrate a strong relationship between coping strategies and the maintenance of symptoms of the disorder, highlighting protective factors such as support networks, institutional management, and resilience. Risk factors such as work overload, lack of social support, and stigmatization were also identified. Based on these findings, a simulated clinical case of a healthcare worker with stress-related symptoms was constructed, including data on identification, reason for consultation, assessment, and proposed treatment. The case analysis allowed for an understanding of the link between both variables from a comprehensive perspective, promoting the articulation between theory, professional practice, and scientific evidence with a clinical view of the psychosocial factors that impact mental health.
