Abstract

This is a case study developed in 2017 at a university clinic, which aimed to analyze a case regarding effectiveness of an individual, cognitive-based care protocol in treatment, control and management of occupational stress. The study was carried out by a 30-year-old man, married, who had stress near exhaustion. An anamnesis and evaluation interview was carried out through inventories to identify the level of stress and perception of work context. Then, a stress management protocol was organized in eight structured meetings based on cognitive therapy. The results showed an improvement in stress situation and in general perception of reality, pointing to the effectiveness of the protocol, which can be applied in focal programs to control occupational stress.
