“…Aspectos mais evidentes e amplamente aceitos são identificados em profissionais idealistas que atuam em setores de serviços ou em ambientes nos quais os impactos emocionais são mais acentuados. Múltiplas definições convergem ao destacar que o burnout constitui um processo que manifesta fadiga emocional, mental e física, desenvolvendo-se insidiosamente ao longo do tempo (Laub et al, 2020). .…”

Este artigo tem o objetivo discutir a importância de monitorar o surgimento de burnout no efetivo de pilotos do Batalhão de Polícia Militar de Operações Aéreas do Paraná (BPMOA). Foi utilizado o método de revisão bibliográfica, desta forma a pesquisa realizada para embasar o artigo abrangeu a busca de artigos científicos nos meios especializados. O burnout é conhecido como uma síndrome de exaustão emocional, despersonalização e redução do sentimento de realização pessoal que ocorre entre indivíduos que trabalham com pessoas de alguma forma. Inicialmente se acreditava que o burnout surgia em profissões que exigiam interação social e trabalho com clientes/pacientes, todavia se verificou sinais de burnout em diferentes grupos ocupacionais. Em comparação com diversas outras profissões, a atividade policial tem sido identificada como uma ocupação particularmente estressante, uma vez que diversos estressores ocupacionais confrontam os policiais. Em combinação, os pilotos constituem, de diversas maneiras, um grupo ocupacional singular. Detêm a responsabilidade profissional de assegurar a segurança da aeronave e de seus ocupantes, desta forma, a síndrome de burnout também é extremamente relevante para as populações de pilotos. Por conseguinte, os pilotos do BPMOA apresentem um risco duplo de desenvolvimento do burnout, uma vez que são submetidos aos estressores inerentes da aviação e do serviço policial. Assim, a importância de monitorar o burnout nos pilotos do Batalhão de Polícia Militar de Operações Aéreas do Paraná é crucial para garantir não apenas o bem-estar psicológico individual, mas também a segurança operacional e eficácia das missões aéreas.

“…As previously mentioned, in the United States, most fatigue studies have focused on military [22,45,46] and/or commercial operations [16,45,[47][48][49] without bridging the gap to collegiate aviation. However, there has been a recent effort by researchers to better understand fatigue during flight training [17,19,20,25,30,50]. Findings from the recent studies listed in the preceding paragraph suggest that fatigue compromises aviation safety in collegiate aviation operations.…”

An increase in evidence-based studies into the deleterious effects of fatigue on flight operations has been reported by key aviation groups globally. The collegiate aviation flight training environment has not been researched at the same level when compared to military and airline operations. College aged students are unique in the sense that they are tasked with classwork, studying, participation in student organizations, social activities, and often have part time jobs within and outside of the academic environment. These conditions may cause errors, incidents, accidents, poor academic performance, and undesirable health metrics. The purpose of this study was to understand fatigue as a multi-factorial dimension and to assess potential relationships among these factors using hypothesized measurement models. The research team distributed the Collegiate Aviation Fatigue Inventory II (CAFI-II) to eight small, medium, and large collegiate aviation programs in the United States. The CAFI-II primarily focuses on fatigue awareness, causes and symptoms of fatigue, and lifestyle choices. Four hundred and twenty-two (n = 422) valid responses were obtained. Results suggested a direct predictive relationship between fatigue in collegiate flight training and the perceptions of respondents of conditions that are known to cause fatigue. Findings also suggested that respondents who had a favorable perception of fatigue risk and management programs had a better understanding of the causes of fatigue.

“…The most obvious issues that are commonly accepted; It is seen in idealistic professionals working in service businesses or in environments where emotional effects are experienced more. It is mentioned in many definitions that burnout is a process that expresses emotional, mental and physical fatigue and develops insidiously over time (Laub et al, 2020). Studies conducted on various occupational groups reveal that employees become insensitive to problems in the work environment, withdraw themselves and spend less and less time on their jobs.…”

Fatigue as an emerging flight safety issue in the aviation industry requires an elaborate understanding and critical approach for proactive aviation management practices. The level of flight crew stress and fatigue must be critically managed to prevent flight accidents. Additionally, stress and fatigue have a negative influence on job satisfaction levels. This paper aims to examine the critical fatigue risk factors that affect the performance and safety of airline pilots and crew in the aviation industry. This paper also analyses the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction sub-dimensions. A factor analysis with a target population of 254 international flight crew has been conducted using the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Survey and Maslach Burnout questionnaire. The main findings of the study demonstrate that (i) cockpit and cabin crews’ job satisfaction and performance have been affected by stress and fatigue, (ii) psychological depression, anxiety and personal problems of the flight crew are the main causes of emotional fatigue, (iii) extensive flight hours and dealing with problematic passengers increase flight crew fatigue, (iv) personal achievements concerns and depersonalization increase flight crew fatigue.
