Abstract(s)
O contacto com situações clínicas complexas e o desgaste emocional a que os profissionais de saúde a trabalhar em Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos estão sujeitos e a probabilidade que estes têm de ser afectados pela síndrome de burnout, leva à responsabilidade ética de criar formas de a prevenir.
Os pressupostos éticos deste trabalho residem no facto de que consideramos que cuidar dos profissionais de saúde é de forma directa ou indirecta, melhorar a qualidade de cuidados prestados por estes. Este trabalho pretende construir um programa de intervenção para prevenção do burnout e desta forma precaver e diminuir os níveis de burnout dos profissionais de saúde, médicos e enfermeiros a trabalhar em Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos.
Esta tese de doutoramento está inserida no Projecto “Quem cuida de quem cuida” e privilegia a reflexão ética na área do cuidar dos profissionais de saúde. O programa de intervenção desenvolvido neste trabalho teve a sua sustentação num trabalho de investigação que identificou os níveis de burnout, os factores protectores e as estratégias de prevenção dos profissionais de saúde a trabalhar em Unidades de Cuidados Paliativos. Os resultados decorrentes dessa investigação foram usados para construir um programa de intervenção a ser aplicado a médicos e enfermeiros, neste caso a trabalhar em Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos.
Contact with complex clinical situations and the emotional stress that health professionals working in Intensive Care Units are submitted, and the probability that these have to be affected by burnout leads to ethical responsibility to create ways to prevent it. Ethical assumptions of this study are that we believe caring of health professionals is directly or indirectly a way to improve the quality of care provided by these. This work aims to build an intervention program for the prevention of burnout and thus avoid and decrease burnout levels of health professionals, doctors and nurses working in Intensive Care Units. This doctoral thesis is inserted into the project "Quem cuida de quem cuida” (“Who cares for the carers") and emphasizes the ethical reflection in the area of care for health professionals. The intervention program developed in this work had its support in a research that identified levels of burnout, protective factors and prevention strategies for health professionals working in Palliative Care Units. The outcomes of that research were used to construct an intervention program to be applied to doctors and nurses, in this case working in Intensive Care Units.
