Introdução: O burnout é um estado de exaustão física, mental e emocional, causado pelo
envolvimento prolongado em situações de elevado stress relacionadas com o trabalho ou
com responsabilidades profissionais. É mais prevalente em profissões que envolvem um
alto nível de exigência emocional e de responsabilidade, como é a área da Saúde. Os
estudantes de Medicina estão particularmente em risco de burnout devido a vários fatores
relacionados com a sua formação. É importante reconhecer os sinais precoces do burnout e
procurar estratégias efetivas para prevenir ou tratar esta condição. Neste sentido, destacase o papel da atividade física reconhecida atualmente como um dos fatores protetores mais
importantes.
Objetivos: Esta revisão sistemática de literatura pretende avaliar a relação entre a atividade
física e o burnout nos estudantes de Medicina. Para além disso, pretende investigar qual a
influência da mesma na teia etiológica desta síndrome, contribuindo para a melhoria da
qualidade de vida e da saúde mental desta população.
Métodos: Os artigos foram identificados através de uma pesquisa na plataforma PubMed,
restrita ao período de 2010 a 2023, cujas palavras-chave foram “physical activity”,
“exercise” “fitness”, “burnout”, “medical students” e “medicine students”. Apenas foram
incluídos estudos transversais ou coortes que mediram e avaliaram a relação entre atividade
física/exercício e o burnout em estudantes de Medicina. A qualidade dos estudos foi
individualmente avaliada recorrendo à checklist do Center for Evidence-Based
Management (CEBMa).
Resultados: A pesquisa incluiu 17 artigos, abrangendo um total de 10.455 participantes de
14 países distintos. Grande parte dos estudos apresentou prevalências de burnout
superiores a 30% (intervalo: 18,2-75,2%). A maioria destes apurou que a atividade
física/exercício estava negativamente associada com o burnout e com todas as suas
dimensões. Alguns estudos encontraram uma associação entre essa variável e apenas
algumas das dimensões do burnout.
Discussão/Conclusões: Os resultados desta revisão sistemática enfatizam consistentemente
a relação entre a atividade física e o burnout nos estudantes de Medicina. Estes dados
sublinham a importância de considerar a atividade física como parte integrante do bemestar e da saúde desta população. A natureza transversal dos estudos incluídos, a heterogeneidade de instrumentos de avaliação utilizados, assim como o autorrelato na
obtenção dos dados foram as principais limitações identificadas nos estudos analisados,
limitando a robustez das suas conclusões. As diretrizes para a investigação futura incluem
a priorização da natureza longitudinal dos estudos (permitindo inferir causalidade), a
padronização dos instrumentos de avaliação a utilizar e a adoção de métodos alternativos
de colheita de dados (minimizando a dependência excessiva do autorrelato). É essencial que
as pesquisas futuras abracem as recomendações delineadas, elevando a qualidade
metodológica e promovendo um avanço substancial no conhecimento desta área.
Introduction: Burnout is a state of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion, caused by prolonged involvement in highly stressful situations related to work or professional responsibilities. It is more prevalent in professions that involve a high level of emotional demand and responsibility, such as healthcare. Medical students are particularly at risk of burnout due to various factors related to their training. It is important to recognise the early signs of burnout and look for effective strategies to prevent or treat this condition. In this regard, the role of physical activity is currently recognised as one of the most important protective factors. Objectives: This systematic review of the literature aims to evaluate the relationship between physical activity and burnout in medical students. In addition, it aims to investigate the influence of physical activity on the etiological web of this syndrome, contributing to improving the quality of life and mental health of this population. Methods: The articles were identified through a search on the PubMed platform, restricted to the period from 2010 to 2023, whose keywords were "physical activity", "exercise" "fitness", "burnout", "medical students" and "medicine students". Only cross-sectional or cohort studies that measured and evaluated the relationship between physical activity/exercise and burnout in medical students were included. The quality of the studies was individually assessed using the Centre for Evidence-Based Management (CEBMa) checklist. Results: The search included 17 articles, covering a total of 10.455 participants from 14 different countries. Most of the studies showed burnout prevalence rates of over 30% (range: 18,2-75,2%). Most of these found that physical activity/exercise was negatively associated with burnout and all its dimensions. dimensions of burnout. Some studies found an association between this variable and only some of the dimensions of burnout. Discussion/Conclusions: The results of this systematic review consistently highlight the association between physical activity and burnout in medical students. These data emphasise the importance of considering physical activity as an integral part of the wellbeing and health of this population. The cross-sectional nature of the studies included, the heterogeneity of the assessment instruments used, as well as the self-reporting in obtaining the data were the main limitations identified in the studies analysed, limiting the robustness of their conclusions. Guidelines for future research include prioritising the longitudinal nature of the studies (allowing causality to be inferred), standardising the assessment instruments to be used and adopting alternative data collection methods (minimising overreliance on self-reporting). It is essential that future research embraces the recommendations outlined, raising methodological quality and promoting a substantial advance in knowledge in this area.
