Abstrakt: Objective: to identify the profile of psychosocial stressors, wellbeing at work and coping in prehospital care workers and its distinctions in relation to gender.
Methods: cross-sectional quantitative study with workers from public prehospital care. A sociodemographic instrument, the Psychosocial Stressors in the Labor Context Scale, the Inventory of Welfare at Work and the Occupational Coping Scale, were applied.
Results: In a sample of 585 workers, women had greater role overload (p=0.002), career insecurity (p<0.001), lack of autonomy (p=0.03) and work- family conflict (p<0.001) compared to men. Men showed greater commitment and satisfaction at work than women (p<0.001). The other factors and dimensions showed no statistically significant difference according to gender.
Conclusion: Women were more affected by psychosocial stressors, which probably reduced their wellbeing at work. This was possibly because they experienced a different social context from men.
