Abstract(s)
A síndrome de burnout nos enfermeiros é reconhecida como um problema crescente,
impulsionado pela sobrecarga de trabalho, carência de recursos e, recentemente, pelo
impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 no Sistema Nacional de Saúde.
Este estudo quantificou o burnout e a satisfação profissional dos enfermeiros da
Unidade Local de Saúde de Castelo Branco (ULSCB) e analisou a influência de variáveis
sociodemográficas e laborais.
Num delineamento quantitativo, descritivo-correlacional e transversal, responderam ao
questionário Copenhagen Burnout Inventory e à Escala de Satisfação dos Enfermeiros
com o Trabalho, 153 participantes, com idade média de 45,7 anos, sendo 82,4% do
género feminino.
Observou-se burnout elevado nas dimensões pessoal (58,8 %) e relacionada com o
trabalho (60,8 %), valores superiores aos de estudos portugueses anteriores. A
satisfação revelou-se tendencialmente moderada (75,8 %). Todas as dimensões do
burnout correlacionaram-se negativa e significativamente com todas as dimensões da
satisfação, reafirmando a relação inversa entre os constructos. Estado civil, contexto
assistencial, exercício em múltiplos locais e tipo de horário mostraram-se
determinantes de ambos os fenómenos.
Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de ajustes organizacionais que limitem
turnos consecutivos, reforcem dotações de pessoal e criem oportunidades de
reconhecimento e progressão, estratégias que poderão mitigar o burnout, elevar a
satisfação e favorecer a retenção de enfermeiros na ULSCB.
Burnout among nurses is recognised as a growing problem, driven by heavy workloads, scarce resources and, more recently, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the National Health Service. This study measured burnout and job satisfaction among nurses at the Castelo Branco Local Health Unit (ULSCB) and examined the influence of sociodemographic and work-related variables. Using a quantitative, descriptive-correlational, and cross-sectional design, 153 participants responded to the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory and the Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale. The average age was 45.7 years, and 82.4% were female. High levels of burnout were found in the personal (58.8 %) and work-related (60.8 %) dimensions, values higher than those reported in earlier Portuguese studies. Job satisfaction was generally moderate (75.8 %). All burnout dimensions correlated negatively and significantly with all satisfaction dimensions, confirming the inverse relationship between the constructs. Marital status, care setting, employment in multiple locations and shift pattern were identified as determinants of both phenomena. The findings point to the need for organisational adjustments to limit consecutive shifts, strengthen staffing levels and create opportunities for recognition and career progression, strategies that could mitigate burnout, increase satisfaction and support nurse retention within the ULSCB.
