Introduction. Burnout is recognized as an important individual and social problem. Occupations at increased risk of burnout include: doctors, nurses, social workers, teachers, policemen and emergency service workers.Aim. The aim of the research was to determine the influence of selected socio-demographic variables on the level of occupational burnout in neurological and neurosurgical nurses.Material and Methods. The research was carried out on a group of 206 nurses employed in thirteen neurological and neurosurgical centres in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. By means of a diagnostic survey, the level of occupational burnout was assessed using a questionnaire survey.Results. When analysing the impact of socio-demographic variables on occupational burnout, the following results were obtained for: gender (0.939), age (0.071), workplace (0.239), marital status (0.657), education (0.330), distance to the workplace (0.773), years of experience (0.013) and position held (0.552). Only work experience in the profession had a statistically significant, low correlation with the results of the level of occupational burnout (p < 0.05).Conclusions. The examined group of nurses showed a low level of occupational burnout. The vast majority of nurses felt satisfied with their work. There was no significant influence of socio-demographic variables on the level of occupational burnout. (JNNN 2021;10(4):162–167)

“…Estes achados corroboram estudos que mostraram o adoecimento psíquico destes profissionais durante este período. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] A compaixão em relação ao sofrimento e adoecimento de colegas foi um sentimento que mostrou acréscimo ao próprio desgaste dos trabalhadores. Durante a pandemia, fadiga por compaixão pelos colegas foi associada à exaustão emocional dos profissionais da enfermagem, 21 revelando mais efeitos negativos ao trabalhador que atuou neste período, principalmente pelo fato do apoio entre os colegas ser um recurso fundamental no enfrentamento de adversidades.…”

Resumo Objetivo analisar as implicações autopercebidas e as estratégias utilizadas por trabalhadores de enfermagem de unidades dedicadas e não dedicadas à COVID-19 acerca da atuação profissional no enfrentamento da pandemia. Método estudo multicêntrico, descritivo-exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvido em quatro hospitais do sul do Brasil, entre janeiro e maio de 2021. Foram entrevistados 19 trabalhadores da equipe de enfermagem, sendo 10 lotados em unidades dedicadas à COVID-19 e 9 em unidades não dedicadas. Fez-se análise de conteúdo do tipo temática. Resultados emergiram duas categorias: (1) Exaustão emocional e seu impacto no trabalho, devido à gravidade dos pacientes e ao elevado número de óbitos nas unidades dedicadas e às mudanças organizacionais e à sobrecarga de trabalho nas não dedicadas; e (2) Estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas, semelhantes nas unidades quanto ao autocuidado, lazer, atividade física e espiritualidade, mas diferente quanto a realização profissional, presente nas unidades dedicadas à COVID-19.

“…These findings corroborate studies that showed the psychological illness of these professionals during this period. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Compassion in relation to the colleagues' distress and illness was a feeling that represented an addition to the workers' own wear out. During the pandemic, compassionate fatigue for colleagues was associated with the Nursing professionals' emotional exhaustion, 21 revealing more negative effects for the workers who were active in this period, mainly because support among colleagues is a fundamental resource in coping with adversity.…”
