Resumen
El control y tolerancia al estrés, así como las estrategias que se utilizan para afrontarlo
tienen un impacto en la salud mental y física de las personas que laboran bajo condiciones
muy demandantes, como los conductores de taxi (Ramírez, Hernández, Reducindo,
Genchi, Mendoza & Jaimes, 2013). De ahí que el objetivo de esta investigación es
estudiar cómo 29 conductores de taxi de una empresa particular controlan y toleran el
estrés según las estrategias que utilizan para afrontarlo. Asimismo se busca describir las
características de cada constructo en los participantes. Para ello, se utilizó el clúster de
Control y Tolerancia al Estrés del Sistema Comprehensivo aplicado al Psicodiagnóstico
de Rorschach y el COPE-28, la versión abreviada del Cuestionario de Estimación de
Afrontamiento (COPE) de Carver, Schreier y Weintraud (1989). No se halló correlación
entre el control y la tolerancia al estrés y los estilos de afrontamiento. Respecto a los
resultados del COPE-28 se reportó un marcado uso de estrategias activas en comparación
a las pasivas. Asimismo, el contraste de los resultados del Rorschach con la data
normativa de Ráez (2007) evidencia que en el grupo de estudio es menor la D, DAdj, la
EA, la Suma de M y la SumaPondC; mientras que es mayor el CDI. Ello sugiere en estos
conductores un bajo control y tolerancia al estrés, insuficiencia de recursos cognitivos y
afectivos y dificultades en la interacción social. La discusión está orientada a explicar la
falta de relación hallada entre los constructos, señalándose, entre otras causas, la limitada
variabilidad en los resultados del COPE-28 y el que se haya utilizado instrumentos de
medición de naturaleza muy distinta. Asimismo se discute respecto a la baja conciencia
que parecen tener los conductores sobre su propia condición de sobrecarga. Finalmente
se señalan los alcances y las limitaciones de este estudio, así como las recomendaciones
derivadas de los resultados.
Control and stress tolerance, as well as the coping strategies used to deal with stress, have an impact on the mental and physical health of people working under very demanding conditions, such as taxi drivers (Ramírez, Hernández, Reducindo, Genchi, Mendoza & Jaimes, 2013). The aim of this investigation is to study how 29 taxi drivers of a particular company control and tolerate stress according to their coping styles. It also sought to describe the characteristics of each construct in the participants. For this purpose, both the cluster of control and stress tolerance of the Comprehensive System for the Rorschach Test and the COPE-28, the brief version of the Coping Estimation Questionnaire (COPE), by Carver, Schreier and Weintraud (1989) were used. No correlation was found between control and stress tolerance and coping styles. Regarding COPE-28`s results, it was found a preponderant use of active strategies compared to passive ones. Also, the contrast of the Rorschach results with Ráez`s data (2007) show that in the study group the D, DAdj, EA, the Sum of M and the Sum PondC are smaller; while the CDI is higher. This suggests a low control and stress tolerance in these drivers, insufficient cognitive and affective resources and difficulties in social interaction. The discussion is focused on explaining the lack of relationship found between the constructs, mentioning, among other causes, the limited variability in the results of COPE-28 and the use of measurement instruments of a very different nature. Also it is discussed the little awareness that this drivers seem to have about their own overload condition. Finally, are discussed the scope, limitation and future recommendations.
