Abstract(s)
O burnout tem implicações diretas nos níveis de agressividade e de saúde mental
do indivíduo. Desta forma, a investigação nesta área torna-se fulcral dado que se trata de
uma síndrome incapacitante que prejudica o individuo nas diversas áreas da sua vida,
tendo também repercussões ao nível do local de trabalho onde esta inserido.
Neste sentido, o presente estudo pretendeu verificar o impacto do burnout nos
níveis de agressividade e de saúde mental dos indivíduos que trabalham em contexto
psiquiátrico.
A amostra deste estudo foi constituída por 114 profissionais da área da saúde na
Casa de Saúde do Bom Jesus, em Braga e em contato direto com as pessoas assistidas
da respetiva instituição.
Os instrumentos utilizados para esta investigação foram, para além do
questionário sociodemográfico, o Maslach Burnout Inventory – Human Services Survey
(MBI-HSS) (Maslach & Jackson, 1981; versão portuguesa adaptada por Sá, 2002), para
avaliar os níveis de burnout nas suas três dimensões, o Aggression Questionnaire (AQ)
(Buss & Perry, 1992; versão portuguesa adaptada por Rego, 2005) para avaliação da
agressividade e o Inventário de Saúde Mental (MHI-5) (WHO, 1948; versão Portuguesa
adaptada por Pais-Ribeiro, 2001) para avaliação dos níveis de saúde mental.
Os resultados obtidos apontam para a existência de relação entre as três
dimensões do burnout, os índices de agressividade e os níveis de saúde mental dos
sujeitos participantes no estudo. Verificou-se também a existência de uma diferença
estatisticamente significativa entre a subescala bem-estar e a variável tempo de serviço
na instituição. Da mesma forma, foi possível observar uma diferença estatisticamente
significativa entre a subescala agressividade física e a subescala raiva quanto ao estado
civil, revelando resultados mais elevados nos participantes casados relativamente à
agressividade física e à raiva. Verificamos de igual modo que existe significância
estatística relativamente à agressividade entre os participantes com e sem filhos,
evidenciando resultados mais elevados nos participantes com filhos. Relativamente
aos níveis de burnout nas suas três dimensões (exaustão emocional, despersonalização e
realização pessoal) e aos índices de saúde mental (distress e bem-estar), não foi revelada
significância estatística.
Burnout has direct implications in aggression levels and mental health of the individual. This being said, research in this area becomes crucial, given that is an incapacitating syndrome that harms the individual in different stages of its life, also having repercussions in the workplace he is placed. This way, the present study sought to verify the impact that burnout has in aggression levels and mental health of the individuals that work in psychiatric context. The sample of this study comprised of 114 professionals in the healthcare area in the Casa de Saúde do Bom Jesus, in Braga and in direct contact with the people treated in this institution. The instruments used for this investigation were, besides the sociodemographic questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory – Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) (Maslach & Jackson, 1981; Portuguese version adapted by Sá, 2002), to evaluate the burnout levels in its three dimensions, the Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) (Buss & Perry, 1992; Portuguese version adapted Rego, 2005) to evaluate aggressiveness and the Inventory of Mental Health (MHI-5) (WHO, 1948; Portuguese version adapted by Pais-Ribeiro, 2001) to evaluate the levels of mental health. The results obtained, point towards the existence of a relation between the three dimensions of burnout, the aggression indexes and the levels of mental health of the subjects in the study. It was also noted the existence of a statistically significant difference between the well-being subscale and the variable of time of service in the institution. In the same way, it was possible to observe only a statistically significant difference between the physical aggressiveness subscale and the rage subscale regarding the marital status, revealing higher results in married participants relatively to physical aggressiveness and rage. In the same way, it was noted that it exists statistical significance relatively to aggressiveness between participants with and without siblings, showing higher results in participants with siblings. Relatively to the levels of burnout in its three dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal realization) and to the mental health indexes (distress and well-being), no statistical significance was revealed.
