Abstract(s)
O trabalho é uma das grandes dimensões da vida dos indivíduos, dado o aumentar das exigências aos professores do ensino superior, estes estão sujeitos a inúmeros fatores de risco e predisposição para o desenvolvimento da síndrome de burnout, afetando a sua vida profissional e pessoal, evidenciando-se este fenómeno num desequilíbrio destas componentes de vida e no diminuir de práticas de autocuidado. O presente estudo, de natureza quantitativa, descritiva, transversal, preditiva e correlacional, pretende avaliar e comparar o nível de burnout de professores de ensino superior público e privado em Portugal, identificando preditores de burnout. Pretende-se ainda analisar e compreender as relações entre as variáveis sociodemográficas, profissionais, equilíbrio trabalho-vida pessoal, autocuidado e burnout. Os dados, recolhidos através da disponibilização de um questionário online, englobam 136 (60.2%) docentes do sexo feminino e 90 (39.8%) do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 30 e os 83 anos (M = 52.26; DP = 9.19), sendo 146 (64.6%) do ensino público e 80 (35.4%) do privado. Resultados: Os professores da amostra apresentaram níveis elevados de exaustão e moderados de perceção de incapacidade no controlo cognitivo. De entre os vários preditores testados, destacam-se ter filhos, maior nível socioeconómico, mais idade e anos de experiência, maior número de fins de semana livres, maior perceção de equilíbrio entre o trabalho e a vida pessoal e maior adesão a práticas de autocuidado como preditores de menores níveis de sintomas de burnout. Conclusões: Estes resultados evidenciam a necessidade de políticas organizacionais que promovam o bem-estar dos docentes, enfatizando o papel da perceção de equilíbrio trabalhovida pessoal e da prática de comportamentos de autocuidado na manutenção da qualidade de vida dos professores do ensino superior português.
Work is one of the major dimensions of people's lives and given the increasing demands on higher education teachers, this population is subject to numerous risk factors and predispositions for developing burnout syndrome, affecting not only their professional but also their personal lives, with this phenomenon being evidenced by an imbalance between these two components of life and a decrease in self-care practices. This quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, predictive and correlational study aims to assess and compare the level of burnout among public and private higher education teachers in Portugal and to identify predictors of burnout. Alongside these objectives, the aim is to analyze and understand the relationships between sociodemographic, professional, work-life balance, selfcare and burnout variables. Data was collected through an online questionnaire, to which 136 (60.2%) female and 90 (39.8%) male teachers responded, aged between 30 and 83 (M = 52.26; SD = 9.19), 146 (64.6%) from public education, 80 (35.4%) from private education. Results: Portuguese higher education teachers showed high levels of exhaustion and moderate levels of perceived impairment in cognitive control. Among the predictors tested, having children, higher socio-economics status, higher age and years of experience, more weekends off, greater perceived work-life balance and greater adherence to self-care practices stood out as predictors of lower levels of burnout symptoms. Conclusions: These results highlight the need to develop organizational policies that promote the well-being of teachers, emphasizing the role of the perception of balance between work and personal life and the practice of self-care behaviors in maintaining the quality of life of Portuguese higher education teachers.
