This study evaluated the extent to which a professional training program of an evidence-based intervention for the treatment of child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse could reduce strain and burnout levels in trainees. Participants were 30 psychologists, 19 of whom composed the experimental group (G1) and 11 the comparison group (G2). Data collection occurred before and after the training. The results showed that the 'work demand' increased for G1 and remained stable for G2, whereas the 'control at work' remained stable for G1 while decreasing for G2. Regarding burnout levels, there was a decrease in depersonalization and stabilization in the levels of emotional exhaustion and reduced professional efficacy for G1, whereas for G2, all the burnout indicators significantly increased. These results partially support the perspective that the training program would have an indirect protective effect on the occupational psychopathology levels of the trainees.Keywords: professional education, occupational stress, occupational health, sexual abuse, stress Pode um Programa de Treinamento em Grupoterapia Cognitivo-Comportamental Para o Tratamento de Abuso Sexual Infantil Reduzir os Níveis de Burnout e Estresse no Trabalho dos Treinandos? Evidências Iniciais de um Modelo BrasileiroResumo: Este estudo avaliou em que medida um treinamento profissional em uma intervenção empiricamente-baseada voltada para o tratamento de crianças e adolescentes vítimas de violência sexual poderia reduzir os níveis de tensão ocupacional e burnout dos profissionais capacitados. Os participantes foram 30 psicólogos, sendo que 19 compuseram o grupo experimental (G1) e 11 o grupo de comparação (G2). A coleta de dados ocorreu antes e depois da capacitação. Os resultados mostraram que os níveis de demanda ocupacional aumentaram para G1 e se mantiveram estáveis para G2. Em relação aos níveis de burnout, houve redução da despersonalização e estabilização nos níveis de exaustão emocional e de baixa eficácia profissional para G1, enquanto que para G2 todos os indicadores aumentaram. Os resultados suportam parcialmente a hipótese que o treinamento profissional pode apresentar um efeito protetor indireto nos níveis de psicopatologia ocupacional dos profissionais capacitados.Palavras-chave: formação profissional, estresse ocupacional, saúde ocupacional, abuso sexual, estresse ¿Puede un Programa de Formación en Grupoterapia Cognitivo-Conductual Para el Tratamiento del Abuso Sexual Infantil Reducir los Niveles de Burnout y Estrés en el Trabajo de los Cursillistas?

“…They can have both a negative and positive effect on employee productivity, health and well-being [see 5 for a review]. For example, supervisor support is associated with increased productivity [6], lower sickness absence [7], a decrease in risk for future depression [8] and lower turnover intentions [9]. Conversely, poor manager-employee relationships and lack of line manager support is reported as a common source of stress and low well-being among employees [5,10].…”

“…Given that the burden of mental disorders peaks at working age (1), workingage populatio ns are an important target for prevention. There is growing evidence to suggest a link between work characteristics and the onset of depression, with perceived psychosocial work stress being the most often investigated work exposure (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7).…”

Objectives This systematic review and meta-analysis combined published study-level data and unpublished individual-participant data with the aim of quantifying the relation between long working hours and the onset of depressive symptoms. MethodsWe searched PubMed and Embase for published prospective cohort studies and included available cohorts with unpublished individual-participant data. We used a random-effects meta-analysis to calculate summary estimates across studies.Results We identified ten published cohort studies and included unpublished individual-participant data from 18 studies. In the majority of cohorts, long working hours was defined as working ≥55 hours per week. In multivariable-adjusted meta-analyses of 189 729 participants from 35 countries [96 275 men, 93 454 women, follow-up ranging from 1-5 years, 21 747 new-onset cases), there was an overall association of 1.14 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.25] between long working hours and the onset of depressive symptoms, with significant evidence of heterogeneity (I 2 =45.1%, P=0.004). A strong association between working hours and depressive symptoms was found in Asian countries (1.50, 95% CI 1.13-2.01), a weaker association in Europe (1.11, 95% CI 1.00-1.22), and no association in North America (0.97, 95% CI 0.70-1.34) or Australia (0.95,. Differences by other characteristics were small. ConclusionsThis observational evidence suggests a moderate association between long working hours and onset of depressive symptoms in Asia and a small association in Europe.Key terms depression; mental health; overtime; psychological distress; working life; working time. Long working hours and depressive symptomsDepression is a leading cause of years lived with disability, contributing to a significant proportion of disease burden worldwide (1). Given that the burden of mental disorders peaks at working age (1), workingage populatio ns are an important target for prevention. There is growing evidence to suggest a link between work characteristics and the onset of depression, with perceived psychosocial work stress being the most often investigated work exposure (2-7).Recently, studies have also focused on long working hours as a potential risk factor for mental disorders (8). However, although several reviews of this field exist (5, 9-24), the few systematic quantifications of the evidence have been based on published cross-sectional (18,19,25) or published longitudinal studies (26). Given the potential publication bias in studies based on published data (27), an individual-participant metaanalysis of unpublished data would provide important complementary evidence to evaluate the effect of long working hours on mental health. Furthermore, long working hours are more common in Asia and North America than in Europe and the risk of mental health problems is higher among women and individuals with low socioeconomic position than men and those with high socioeconomic status. As determinants and mechanisms that harm and protect mental health may also vary by regio...
