Introdução: O termo “burnout” foi inicialmente descrito nos anos 70 por
Freudenberger, professor e psiquiatra, que o definiu como um estado de exaustão ou
frustração resultante da dedicação a uma causa, modo de vida ou relação que não teve o
resultado esperado. A partir daí, o interesse por esta temática foi crescendo, surgindo
várias definições dadas por diferentes autores. É aceite mundialmente que a Síndrome
de Burnout é composta por três dimensões, nomeadamente, a despersonalização, a
reduzida realização pessoal e a exaustão emocional. A Medicina está no topo das
profissões mais stressantes e, como tal é mais prevalente nos médicos que estão na linha
da frente, nomeadamente, nos médicos de Medicina Geral e Familiar. Esta é uma
realidade preocupante, uma vez que a qualidade da assistência prestada ao utente pode
ser comprometida bem como pode ser afetada a vida pessoal do médico. Desta forma,
tem-se dado particular interesse à prevenção desta síndrome, uma vez que prevenir é a
nossa melhor arma.
Objetivos: Esta monografia tem como objetivo principal sistematizar os conhecimentos
atuais sobre a Síndrome de Burnout nos médicos de Medicina Geral e Familiar. Pretende
focar-se na definição, causas, manifestações, consequências, prevalência e possíveis
formas de prevenção.
Metodologia: Foi realizada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados eletrónicas PubMed,
Medscape e Cochrane, identificando-se artigos científicos e de revisão sem estabelecer
intervalo de tempo. Devido à grande quantidade de informação existente, foram
selecionados aqueles mais relevantes para este trabalho. Destes, foram ainda revistas as
referências bibliográficas de modo a encontrar outros artigos de relevo que não foram
encontrados na pesquisa inicial. A Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar e a
definição europeia de Medicina Geral e Familiar da Wonca foram também consultadas.
Introduction: The term “burnout” was first described in the 1970s by Freudenberger, professor and psychiatrist, who defined it as a state of exhaustion or frustation resulting from dedication to a cause, way of life or relationship that did not have the expected result. Since then, interest in this topic has grown, with several definitions given by different authors. It is accepted worldwide that Burnout Syndrome is composed of three dimensions, particularly, despersonalization, reduced personal fulfillment and emotional exhaustion. Medicine is at the top of the most stressful professions and, as such, this syndrome is more prevalent in doctors who are in the front line of health care, specifically, in General and Family Medicine physicians. This is a worrying reality since the quality of health care provided to the user can be compromised and the personal life of the doctor can be affected. In this way, particular interest has been given to prevent this syndrome, since prevention is our best weapon. Objectives: The main objective of this monography is to systematize current knowledge about Burnout Syndrome in General and Family Medicine physicians. Its purpose is to focus on the definition, causes, manifestations, consequences, prevalence and possible forms of prevention. Methodology: A search was carried out in the electronic databases PubMed, Medscape and Cochrane, identifying scientific and review articles without establishing a timeline. Due to the large amount of existing information, the most relevant articles to this work were selected. The references of these selected articles were also reviewed in order to find other relevant works which have not been found in the initial search. The Portuguese Journal of General and Family Medicine and Wonca’s European definition of General and Family Medicine were also consulted.
