The working environment is one of the key factors affecting physical
and mental health. Prison staff is a group of professionals who are exposed
to specific and strong stress or because their work is directly related with
potentially violent population. This paper is part of a broader research at the
Faculty of Security - Skopje, titled “The position of the inmates in
penitentiaries in the Republic of Macedonia" conducted in prisons in the
Republic of Macedonia. The research shows the perception of the prison
staff about their job satisfaction, stress exposure and the consequences by
assessing the physical and mental status. It is conducted on 188 employees in
the prisons "Idrizovo" - Skopje, Strumica and the solitary confinement
"Šutka" in Skopje.
The research uses a questionnaire of a Likert kind that covers
behavioral and physical symptoms of stress, institutional organization and
relations with colleagues and superiors, burden and risk exposure as well as
strategies for coping with stress. The results show that there is
dissatisfaction with the work and relatively high degree of presence of
symptoms of stress. In this paper, based on the results of the research,
several measures are proposed that would help to improve the condition of
the prison staff.
