Rastreamento da Síndrome de Burnout na enfermagem em um município brasileiro.

Abstract

The concept of the Health Care Network in Brazil includes the sum of health actions and services articulated in three levels of increasing complexity, with the purpose of ensuring the integrality of the citizen's health care, covering health in all its aspects, considering that mental illness can lead to the impossibility of continuing the routine and usual behavior of the affected person. With regard to workers' mental health, the prevalence of Burnout syndrome is highlighted as a consequence of the wear and tear suffered during work activities. Methodology: This is a descriptive quantitative study, in which the Jibeli Questionnaire was used. The research took place in the city of Cuité, with all the nursing care professionals in the city. Results: Among the 52 participants, 54% are nurses and 46% are nursing technicians, where 96% of the total professionals are female. The average age of participants was 34.8 years. The largest number of professionals work in the Hospital (n=22), UBS (n=15) and SAMU (n=8). Regarding the score of professionals for signs suggestive of Burnout, the highest percentage had a score between 41-60 (42.3%), which characterizes the initial phase of Burnout. None of the participants obtained a minimum score of 0-20, indicating no evidence of Burnout. Conclusion: It is essential to recognize that the Burnout syndrome represents a problem that directly affects the quality of life of nursing professionals, since all research participants show signs of BS, so it is essential to seek intervention and coping mechanisms.
