ABSTRACT In the organizational context, the study of occupational stress encompasses constructs of fatigue at work. Within the air transportation sector, fatigue at work is a potential issue influencing both safety and occupational stress. The objective of the present study was to perform a convergent-discriminant validity analysis of the Feeling of Fatigue scale in the area of Administration. Data from an observational cross-sectional study involving a sample of 1,066 airline pilots were analyzed using quantitative modeling. Confirmatory factor analysis with the structural equations model was performed to determine the validity of a Portuguese version of the Feeling of Fatigue scale in the organizational context of civil aviation. This study fills a gap in the literature on occupational stress in Administration, highlighting the relevance of research on fatigue at work. The results confirmed the validity of a Portuguese version of a mature scale for subjective assessment of fatigue in Administration, thereby contributing to fatigue management in organizational settings.

Abstract Among different systems of transformations, there are those engaged to the human behavior in air-space environments. This integrative literature review aimed to analyze in a systematic perspective the research about the psychology of aviation in Latin America. The articles were obtained in the data bases BVSPSI and Scielo between 2005 and 2017, using the descriptors: aviation and aeroespacial medicine. Five articles were analyzed and grouped as health, family and organization in systematic cores and its respectives under cores. The results from the studies were discussed across systemic research developed in the main categories in latin america context. Furthermore, the literature on the topic is emerging and demand of deeper investigations about family's dynamics and structure, social network and leisure of those in the context of flight. We hope the results from this article gives support to the research about aviation.

Resumo Entre os diferentes sistemas geradores de transformações, incluem-se aqueles engajados em atividades relacionadas ao comportamento humano no ambiente aéreo-espacial. Esta revisão integrativa da literatura teve por objetivo analisar em uma perspectiva sistémica os estudos relacionados à área da psicologia da aviação na América Latina. Os artigos foram pesquisados nas bases de dados BVSPSI e Scielo, entre 2005 e 2017, utilizando os descritores: aviação e medicina aeroespacial. Cinco artigos foram analisados e agrupados nos núcleos sistémicos saúde, família e organização e os seus respectivos subnúcleos. Os resultados das pesquisas foram discutidos à luz das perspectivas sistémicas no contexto da América Latina. Ademais, a literatura sobre o tema é emergente e demanda aprofundamentos sobre as estruturas e dinâmicas familiares, a rede social e lazer dos indivíduos no contexto do voo. Espera-se que os resultados deste trabalho deem suporte às pesquisas sobre a aviação na área da psicologia.

RESUMO: Esta revisão integrativa sintetiza dados qualitativos e quantitativos convergentes sobre a pesquisa em psicologia sistêmica na América Latina, em populações sem morbidade diagnosticada. Os critérios de eligibilidade seguiram os protocolos PRISMA e PICO. A qualidade dos estudos foi avaliada com o CASP, e o método de síntese foi a triangulação de métodos e dados. Como resultados, a partir da análise de conteúdo dos artigos por meio da nuvem de palavras, foi possível contrastar palavras-chave com categorias emergentes e desenvolver uma meta-síntese, incluindo um meta-modelo da pesquisa em psicologia sistêmica. A busca restringiu-se às bases Pepsic e Web of Science, com foco estreito no tema. Como o tema é inerentemente interdisciplinar, estudos potencialmente relevantes podem não ter sido incluídos.

ABSTRACT: This integrative review synthesizes convergent qualitative and quantitative data about the research on systemic psychology in Latin America, in populations without diagnosed morbidity. Eligibility criteria followed PRISMA and PICO protocols. The quality of studies was evaluated with CASP, and the synthesis method was the triangulation of methods and data. With the results from the article content analysis by means of word clouds, it was possible to contrast keywords with emerging categories and to develop a meta-synthesis, including a meta-model of the research on systemic psychology. The search was restricted to Pepsic and Web of Science databases, with a narrow focus on the theme. As the theme is inherently interdisciplinary, potential relevant studies might not have been included.
