Lidiando con el burnout: Análisis de relaciones lineales, no lineales y de interacción.

“…It analyzes the linear, non-linear and interaction relationships between active-focused coping, emotionfocused coping and the three dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion, cynicism and personal accomplishment). Although there is strong support for the direct effects of coping on burnout (Shin et al, 2014), the adaptive nature of coping suggests that its relation to burnout is much more complicated involving non-linear relationships. At the same time, the interaction hypothesis (action-focused coping x evasive-focused coping) indicates that the influence of active coping is highly dependent on evasive coping (FortesFerreira et al, 2006).…”

“…Literature has found that coping has a direct influence on the consequences of burnout. In a meta-analysis with 36 studies Shin, Park, Ying, Kim, Noh and Lee (2014) found that active or actionfocused coping strategies were negatively related to EE and C and positively to PA, while evasive or emotion-focused coping strategies were positively associated with EE and C and negatively with PA. Others authors (Carson, Tsouloupas, & Barber, 2012) also found that C was related to both active and evasive strategies. These results suggest that there is a direct relationship between coping strategies and burnout.…”

“…Em relação aos preditores, a análise indicou as estratégias de enfrentamento como a principal variável relacionada à Síndrome de Burnout, assim, corroborando os achados de outras pesquisas que objetivaram estimar o poder explicativo do coping sobre o desenvolvimento da SB (Mella, & Bouti, 2013;Montero-Marin, Prado-Abril, Demarzo, Gascon, & García-Campayo, 2014;Moura, 2007;Myendeki, 2008;Shin et al, 2014). A dimensão Ilusão pelo trabalho teve maior poder explicativo pelas variáveis coping centradas no problema e número de ocorrências semanais.…”

“…Essas estratégias têm se mostrado associadas com níveis mais baixos de Burnout, uma vez que a sua adoção aumenta a percepção de controle sobre os acontecimentos significativos, com isso, revelando-se um tipo de enfrentamento saudável e eficaz (Moura, 2007;Shin et al, 2014).…”

“…Estudos têm relatado que as estratégias de enfrentamento (coping) funcionam como preditores e mediadores entre o estresse percebido e suas consequências, desse modo, agindo como um fator de proteção à SB (Almeida, 2013;Gil-Monte, 2005;Hernández, Olmedo, & Ibáñez, 2004;Shin et al, 2014). O coping é entendido como um conjunto de respostas intencionais, cognitivas e comportamentais utilizado, pelo sujeito, com o propósito de lidar com demandas específicas oriundas de situações estressantes, que podem ser aprendidas, utilizadas e descartadas (Lazarus, & Folkman, 1984).…”
