Abstract

This scientific article analyzes the influence of the work environment on the mental health of public security agents, highlighting the relevance of public management in this context. Professionals in this sector frequently face stressful situations, resulting in issues such as depression, anxiety, burnout syndrome, among others. The study aims to identify the causes of these problems and propose public policies to prevent and combat them. It is crucial to consider the specific context of these workers, including the challenges faced in the work environment. Using a qualitative and exploratory method, the study seeks to understand the lived experiences of public security agents that lead to these mental health problems. Data collection was conducted through academic databases via literature review to understand the influence of the work environment and public management on the mental health of public security professionals. The study emphasizes the need for public policies that consider both individual and organizational aspects to improve the well-being of these professionals and the effectiveness of prevention and combat operations in this crucial sector.
