O estudo investigou os sinais indicativos da Síndrome de Burnout professores de ensino superior, bem como as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas para manter-se na atividade laboral. Participaram 49 professores. Foi aplicada a Escala de Caracterização de Burnout e um questionário para obtenção dos dados demográficos e identificação das estratégias de enfrentamento. Os dados foram analisados e apresentados em estatísticas descritas e a regressão logística foi usada para verificar a associação entre as variáveis demográficas e Burnout. Os resultados apontam que cerca de um quarto dos participantes apresentou sintomas compatíveis com a Síndrome de Burnout. A desumanização foi o item com maiorpercentual de alto nível, reportada por 30,6% dos professores. Tendo em vista o caráter multifatorial da síndrome de Burnout, é importante compreender os fatores laborais e psicossociais que podem estar associados ao adoecimento, pois isso pode contribuir para a inserção dos docentes em intervenções voltadas para o bem-estar e qualidade de vida no trabalho.

Introduction An occupational repertoire is the array of occupations that an individual has the perceived capacity to perform at a specific point in time. The Occupational Repertoire Development Measure – Parent is a new tool that uses parent report to identify the occupations children can and do perform and their interests in and opportunities for doing them. This study aimed to test the face validity, comprehensiveness, and internal consistency of the Occupational Repertoire Development Measure – Parent as a tool to measure the occupational repertoire of children aged between 2 and 12 years. Method Twenty-nine occupational therapists completed an online questionnaire about the Occupational Repertoire Development Measure – Parent, and 27 parents completed it and then provided feedback via a structured interview. Descriptive statistics, content analysis, and the content validity index guided data analysis. Results Participants view the Occupational Repertoire Development Measure – Parent as practical, simple, and supportive of occupation-centred practice to optimize children’s development of a meaningful repertoire. Overall, self-care occupations were rated highly relevant. Lower-scoring occupations were those perceived as performed only by older children, nonessential for children with disabilities, or culturally unimportant. Conclusion Results indicate value in the further development of the Occupational Repertoire Development Measure – Parent and validate that it asks relevant questions to understand a child’s performance, engagement, and opportunities, leading to optimal repertoire development.

Resumo: Os terapeutas ocupacionais sempre se dedicaram ao estudo da ocupação humana, no entanto, no decorrer desta trajetória, nem sempre o cliente era percebido como um ser ocupacional, com necessidades, interesses e metas individuais. O interesse no engajamento de clientes em suas ocupações, ao invés do interesse na restauração dos componentes de desempenho, juntamente com a mudança do conceito de ocupação, exige do profissional uma ampliação do escopo da prática. As teorias mais atuais relacionadas à prática da terapia ocupacional têm preconizado o uso de abordagens centradas no cliente e baseadas em ocupações. Na prática centrada no cliente e baseada em ocupação, o cliente participa ativamente nas escolhas das metas, sendo estas prioritárias e centrais no processo de avaliação, intervenção e resultados. Existem numerosas evidências na literatura, com resultados significativamente positivos e que apoiam o uso destas abordagens. Estas abordagens se baseiam na premissa de que as metas e objetivos das intervenções devem ser focados em ocupações e atividades significativas para o cliente e refletem os valores centrais da terapia ocupacional: uma perspectiva centrada na ocupação que respeita as escolhas do cliente, suas metas e valores, promovendo e habilitando o engajamento em ocupações significativas.

Enabling occupation: occupation-based and client centred practice in Occupational TherapyAbstract: Occupational therapists have always been dedicated to the human occupation study, however the client hasn't always been seen as an occupational being, with needs, interests and individual goals. The concern for our clients' engagement in occupation, rather than the acquisition or restoration of performance components, together with the gradual modification of the concept of occupation from work-related activities to purposeful human activity, requires a broadening of our scope of practice. The most current theories related to occupational therapy practice have highlightes the use of client centered and occupational based practices. In occupation-based, client-centred practice the client participates actively in negotiating goals, and client occupational goals are given priority and are placed at the centre of assessment, intervention and outcomes. There are numerous evidences in the literature with significantly positive results supporting these approaches. These approaches are based on the premises that goals and objectives of interventions should be focused in occupation and significant activities to the client and reflect the occupational therapy core values: an occupational-centred perspective that respects client's choices, goals and values, promoting and supporting the engagement on meaningful activities.
