This study investigates factors associated with psychological distress among military police (n = 1,120) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The article describes their social, economic, and demographic characteristics, quality of life, mental health, and work conditions. Measurement of psychological distress used the Self-Reported Questionnaire. Analysis of associations used logistic regression, considering factors associated with psychological distress. The results indicate an association between psychological distress and factors such as ability to react to difficult situations, dissatisfaction with life, health problems (especially digestive, nervous, and musculoskeletal symptoms), and adverse work conditions such as excessive workload, constant stress, and victimization. The article concludes by highlighting the need for health promotion interventions for the military police, focusing especially on their mental health.
本研究调查了巴西里约热内卢军事警察（n = 1120）中与心理困扰相关的因素。文章描述了他们的社会、经济和人口特征、生活质量、心理健康及工作条件。心理困扰的测量采用了自填问卷。关联分析采用逻辑回归，考虑了与心理困扰相关的因素。结果表明，心理困扰与应对困难情况的能力、对生活的不满、健康问题（尤其是消化、神经和肌肉骨骼症状）以及过度工作量、持续压力和受害等不良工作条件等因素之间存在关联。文章最后强调了对军事警察进行健康促进干预的必要性，尤其关注他们的心理健康。
