Abstract(s)
Enquadramento: O burnout é uma condição patológica que ocorre quando o trabalhador excede a sua capacidade de lidar com situações de stress laboral. Os profissionais de saúde da área da oncologia são propícios a sofrer de burnout uma vez que a sua rotina inclui dilemas éticos, controlo da dor e sofrimento do doente com cancro e sua família, diagnóstico de doenças terminais, informação de más notícias e a morte. Metodologia: A presenterevisão sistemática da literatura (RSL) visa responder à questão de investigação de “como é que o burnout afeta os profissionais de oncologia portugueses?”, com informação que provem de 13artigos científicos das bases de dados “EBSCO Discovery Service” e “PubMed”.
Resultados: Da análise de conteúdo dos artigos selecionados não é possível circunscrever com rigor a prevalência de burnout nos profissionais de oncologia portugueses devido à escassez de informação e divergência de dados. Nestes mesmos artigos são salientados eminentemente os fatores influenciadores do surgimento do burnout de natureza pessoal. Quanto ao tratamento do burnout nestes profissionais, apenas foram abordadas técnicas de medicina complementar (mindfulness, reiki e acupuntura).
Conclusão: Embora o burnout nos profissionais de oncologia portugueses seja relevante para a qualidade dos cuidados de saúde prestado sem Portugal, a informação científica identificada nesta RSL sobre a patologia é escassa.
