Abstract(s)
Nas últimas décadas, os riscos psicossociais têm ganho um maior destaque no mundo do trabalho, onde significativas transformações tornam-se fatores de risco que contribuem diretamente para um desequilíbrio do bem-estar do trabalhador. Estas transformações surgem mediante o nível de exigência em que o trabalhador se insere, uma realidade vincada e pouco percecionada pela sociedade em geral, na medida em que a realização pessoal, a integração na sociedade e o reconhecimento social tornam-se um relevante foco individual. Contudo, quando já não existem formas ou recursos para que o indivíduo se mantenha nesta linha de sobrevivência, face às pressões sociais e profissionais em que se encontra, desenvolve-se um padrão de vida traduzido pela exaustão. Este é um padrão que desencadeia disfunções tanto comportamentais como físicas e cognitivas. É cada vez mais claro que se deve considerar os estudantes como um grupo importante onde a exaustão se manifesta fortemente. O burnout tornou-se assim uma das síndromes com maior destaque, tornando-se uma epidemia mundial, atualmente com números avassaladores e que não param de subir.
Neste contexto, com o presente estudo pretendeu-se: analisar a prevalência da Síndrome de burnout numa amostra de estudantes do ensino superior privado do Norte de Portugal e identificar os correlatos sociodemográficos da Síndrome de burnout da amostra. Após a obtenção das devidas autorizações, um total de 213 participantes respondeu, online, a um questionário sociodemográfico, para caraterizar a amostra, e ao Inventário de burnout de Copenhagen – Versão Estudantes (CBI-S; adaptado para Portugal por Campos, J. A. D. B., Carlotto, M. S. e Marôco, J., 2013). Dos 213 participantes que caracterizam a amostra, 172 indivíduos representam o sexo feminino, com 80,8% da amostra total e 41 indivíduos o sexo masculino (19,2%), com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 58 anos (M=23,84; DP= 7,53).
Através dos dados recolhidos, verificou-se neste estudo que existe a prevalência do burnout ainda que de forma reduzida, com maior destaque para o sexo feminino. É assim importante, considerar na elaboração de estratégias de forma a reduzir o impacto e a prevenir as evidências do burnout manifestados.
In recent decades, psychosocial risks have gained greater notoriety in the world of work, where significant transformations have become risk factors that contribute directly to an imbalance in the well-being of the worker. These transformations happen according to the level of demand in which the worker is inserted. This reality exists on a large scale but is little perceived by society in general, as personal fulfilment, integration into society and social recognition become a relevant individual focus. However, “exhausted people” is a pattern of living that is developing when the individual is no longer able to bear up this line of survival, due to the social and professional pressures in which he finds himself. This is a pattern that causes both behavioural, physical and cognitive dysfunctions. It is increasingly clear that students should be regarded as an important group where exhaustion manifests itself strongly. Burnout has consequently become one of the most prominent syndromes, becoming a worldwide epidemic, currently with overwhelming numbers that do not stop rising. In this context, the present study aimed to: analyse the prevalence of burnout syndrome in a sample of students studying in private higher education from the North of Portugal and identify the sociodemographic connects of burnout syndrome in the sample. After obtaining the necessary authorizations, a total of 213 participants answered an online sociodemographic questionnaire to characterize the sample, and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory – Students Version (CBI-S; adapted for Portugal by Campos, J. A. D. B., Carlotto, M. S. and Marôco, J., 2013). Of the 213 participants that characterize the sample, 172 individuals represent females, with 80.8% of the total sample and 41 individuals male (19.2%), aged between 18 and 58 years (M=23.84; SD=7.53). Through the data collected, it was verified in this study that there is a prevalence of burnout, even though in a reduced form, with greater emphasis on females. It is therefore important to consider in the development of strategies in order to reduce the impact and prevent the sign of burnout manifested.
