Síndrome de Burnout entre mestrandos e doutorandos em enfermagem

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the occurrence of burnout syndrome and to identify its predictors in master's and doctoral students of graduate nursing programs. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, analytic study performed with 129 master's and doctoral students from three public universities. The research instruments were a semi-structured questionnaire to characterize the participants, and the Maslach Burnout InventoryTM -Student Survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive, inferential statistics and multiple linear regressions. Results: It was found that 11.6% of postgraduate students had signs of burnout. The variables related to their perception about the course and its requirements were those that contributed most to the occurrence of the dimensions of the syndrome. The main predictors were: dissatisfaction with the study topic, lower perceptions of social support, and leisure opportunities. Conclusion: There were signs of burnout syndrome occurring in the studied sample; the course's requirements played a relevant role among the syndrome predictors. ResumoObjetivo: Investigar a ocorrência da síndrome de Burnout e identificar seus preditores entre mestrandos e doutorandos de Programas de Pós-Graduação em Enfermagem. Métodos: Estudo transversal analítico-descritivo realizado com 129 mestrandos e doutorandos de três universidades públicas. Os instrumentos de pesquisa foram: um questionário semiestruturado para caracterização dos participantes e o Maslach Burnout Inventory TM -Student Survey. Os dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva, inferencial e regressão linear múltipla. Resultados: Constatou-se que 11,6% dos pós-graduandos possuíam indicativo para a síndrome de Burnout. As variáveis relacionadas à percepção deles sobre o curso e suas exigências foram as que mais contribuíram para a ocorrência das dimensões da síndrome. Insatisfação com o tema de pesquisa, menores percepções de apoio social e das oportunidades de lazer foram os principais preditores. Conclusão: Houve indicativo do desenvolvimento da síndrome de Burnout na amostra pesquisada e as exigências do curso tiveram papel relevante entre os preditores da síndrome.

How does it feel to be evaluated? A systemic look at postgraduate students

“…For the students who are attending the Master's degree, this represents the penultimate semester of the course, but for the Doctorate, that is less than half of the course. The predominance of women in the samples of postgraduates analyzed was also recorded by other authors [5,7,11,12] and this, according to Faro, [2] is associated with the increase in the number of women who finished their postgraduation in Brazil since 2004. "Women remain as a majority in the Brazilian postgraduation" was a headline at CAPES in March 2018 (http://www.capes.gov.br/sal a-de-imprensa/noticias/8787-mulheres-permane cem-como-maioria-na-pos-graduacao-brasileira).…”

“…The Burnout syndrome, assessed by the Maslach Burnout Inventory TM-Student Survey (MBI-SS), was detected in Nursing Postgraduate students. [12] Galdino et al [12] identified that 69.8% of the students had high scores in emotional exhaustion, 27% had high depersonalization, 24.8% had low academic efficacy and 11.6% had an indicative for Burnout syndrome.…”

Postgraduate Students: An Alert about Quality of Life

“…In both undergraduate and postgraduate courses, this has drawn attention from the academia, although the results are still being published in scientific meeting or smaller journals (Louzada & Silva Filho, 2005;Santos & Alves Júnior, 2007;Malagris et al, 2009;Escobar & Verdinelli, 2010;Andrade et al, 2013;Valadares, Macedo, Alcântara, & Mafra, 2014;Silva & Vieira, 2015;J. S. Ferreira et al, 2016;Galdino, Martins, Haddad, Robazzi, & Birolim, 2016;Moura, Charão-Brito, & Lopes, 2017). Because of this, the leaders of important social, educational, political and economic groups should be alerted to evaluate the members of their groups, in order to slow things down and facilitate assertive decisions, without degrading the relationships.…”

Síndrome de burnout e estilo de vida em estudantes de ensino médio

“…Por vivenciarem uma fase de transição, os estudantes de ensino médio estão sujeitos às novas experiências e, ao mesmo tempo, são compelidos a renunciar sua própria vida social em prol do acesso à instituição de ensino superior, assim, muitas vezes como efeito colateral emerge o estresse exaustivo -denominado como Síndrome de Burnout (SB) (Tuominen-Soini, & Salmela-Aro, 2014). Essa exaustão configura a primeira dimensão da síndrome, associando-se ao absenteísmo estudantil, fadiga, declínio das capacidades de memória e concentração (Galdino, Martins, Haddad, Robazzi, e Birolim, 2016). Surgem ainda outros sintomas, como nervosismo, sentimentos de desamparo, vazio, solidão e tristeza que, em longo prazo, tornam-se gatilhos para o desenvolvimento de outras patologias relacionadas ao humor deprimido e ansiedade (Ovchinnikov, Palchenkova, & Kalachev, 2015; Galván-Molina, Jiménez-Capdeville, Hernández-Mata, & Arellano-Cano, 2017).…”
