Health sciences graduates: perception of their professional training and job placement.

BACKGROUND: The follow-up of health sciences graduates is relevant due to the commitment of universities to train professionals who contribute to solve the country's health problems. The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) has health sciences graduates who join the workforce every year. OBJECTIVE: To identify the perception of health sciences graduates regarding the curriculum and their incorporation into the labor market from 1994 to 2015, and compare it according to the degree program and campus. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Observational, cross-sectional, comparative, quantitative study. The sample of 26,866 graduates was obtained from information of three decades of the institutional questionnaire for graduates applied by the General Directorate of Planning of the UNAM. RESULTS: Most graduates were females (68.4%), with admission to the degree course at between 19 and 20 years of age (65.4%). At least 47% had a job; incorporation into the labor market depended on not having an income, a higher grade point average, not having presented extraordinary exams, or failed subjects, among others. CONCLUSIONS: Adequate job insertion is associated with starting the degree course at age 18, having financial support, having an average of 8.1 or higher and perceiving low academic and teaching training.

Estrés laboral y desempeño profesional en Personal de Salud del área de Ginecología y Obstetricia de un Hospital Peruano en el año 2023 / Work stress and professional performance in health personnel in the Gynecology and Obstetrics area of a Peruvian Hospital in 2023

Objetivo: Describir la relación entre el estrés laboral y el desempeño profesional en el servicio de Ginecología y Obstetricia en el Hospital Sergio Bernales durante el año 2023. Métodos: Estudio de tipo cuantitativo, observacional, prospectivo y transversal. Los participantes del estudio formaban parte del personal de salud que labora en el servicio de Ginecología y Obstetricia del Hospital Nacional Sergio E. Bernales. Resultados: El personal de salud presenta un nivel medio de estrés laboral 45,4 %, seguido por un 29,3 % con alto nivel y un 25,3 % con bajo nivel de estrés laboral. Los médicos residentes (18; 100 %) y los obstetras (26; 46,2 %) mostraron, predominantemente, un nivel medio de estrés laboral. Los niveles medio y alto de estrés se asociaron a un nivel de rendimiento bueno (26 personas; 45,6 %) y 15 entrevistados (26,3 %), respectivamente, y muy bueno: 18 personas (56,3 %) y 13 (40,6 %). Conclusión: Se destaca que el 57,6 % del personal tiene un buen desempeño profesional, siendo las obstetras mayoritarias en este grupo. Se observó que predominaron los niveles medio y alto de estrés laboral en el personal de salud, sin embargo, se encontró un nivel medio de desempeño profesional. Los hallazgos revelan que la mayoría de encuestados logró mantener un buen desempeño profesional a pesar de experimentar niveles medios o altos de estrés laboral, lo que sugiere la complejidad de la relación entre el estrés y el rendimiento laboral en este ámbito de la salud(AU)

Objective: To describe the relationship between work stress and professional performance in the Gynecology and Obstetrics service at the Sergio Bernales Hospital during the year 2023. Methods: Quantitative, observational, prospective and cross-sectional study. The study participants were health personnel working in the Gynecology and Obstetrics service of the Sergio E. Bernales National Hospital. Results: Health personnel have a medium level of work-related stress (45.4%), followed by 29.3% with a high level and 25.3% with a low level of work-related stress. Resident physicians (18; 100%) and obstetricians (26; 46.2%) predominantly showed a medium level of work-related stress. Medium and high levels of stress were associated with a good level of performance (26 people; 45.6%) and 15 interviewees (26.3%), respectively, and very good performance: 18 people (56.3%) and 13 (40.6%). Conclusions: It should be noted that 57,6% of the personnel have a good professional performance, with obstetricians being the majority in this group. It was observed that medium and high levels of work stress predominated among health personnel; however, a medium level of professional performance was found. The findings reveal that the majority of respondents managed to maintain good professional performance despite experiencing medium or high levels of job stress, suggesting the complexity of the relationship between stress and job performance in this health care setting(AU)

Professional activity and experience after a residency training program in ObGyn: A 10-year analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the profile and professional trajectory of the obstetrics and gynecology (ObGyn) graduates over the past decade, at a referral university hospital. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted, utilizing a survey that targeted graduates of the ObGyn residency program from the last decade, asking about demographics, medical undergraduate, residency details, post-residency trajectory, satisfaction levels, and social media usage. A descriptive analysis was performed. Comparative analyses, including gender-based differences, were assessed using chi-squared or Fisher exact tests (P < 0.05). RESULTS: Among 126 graduates, 84 agreed to participate (66.67%), predominantly comprising females with an average age of 33 years. Most identified themselves as white. The majority had pursued their undergraduate studies at the same institution (78.6%) and subsequently acquired specialized titles in ObGyn from the national society. Most of them were employed in both public and private sectors (71.08%). Male graduates held the majority of medical shifts in obstetrics. A significant gender-based salary discrepancy was noted, favoring males. More than half of the professionals utilized social media for work-related purposes. Many expressed the necessity for supplementary education beyond public health, particularly career management. CONCLUSION: The findings highlight a predominance of female and white individuals among the graduates. Overall, graduates expressed contentment with their education and professional engagements. A gender-based income disparity was identified, favoring male graduates. Studies like this can provide insights for improving medical residency education.

Quality of work life for health professions in Colombia's adult critical care: An integrative analysis.

BACKGROUND: Health professionals in Colombian and many parts of the world, in some cases, work in precarious conditions and intend to migrate to other countries in search of better living conditions for themselves and their families, which results in inadequate distribution worldwide and in the quality of care throughout the health system, which can ultimately influence the quality of life of patients in their health-disease processes. PURPOSE: Describe in depth what quality of life at work is like for the health workforce in adult critical care (ACC). METHODS: This is an investigation of convergent parallel mixed methods approach that are integrated by means of a matrix in terms of convergence, divergence, and complementarity. Two methods are used: a transversal analytical method in which three instruments were applied to 209 participants to study the relationship between Quality of Life at Work, exposure to psychosocial risks, compassion fatigue and the intention to rotate; other than from the experiences narrated by 10 Human Talent in Health explore organizational practices in critical care. RESULTS: The dimension of quality of work life with the greatest dissatisfied was the management of free time (77%), the most compromised psychosocial risk was the pace of work (84%). They have high compassion satisfaction (67%) and there is an intention to migrate to another country (66%). The narrative results in discrimination/harassment as normalized practices and faceless spirituality. The integration of mixed methods shows convergence between the use of the instrument that measures quality of life at work and the narratives of the participants, complementarity with the other instruments, and divergence regarding the intention to rotate to another health institution. CONCLUSION: The positive trend that converges with the two approaches is that of safety at work and well-being achieved through work, embodied in the constant updating of technology and care protocols, experience time, balance between salary and work effort, staffing and supplies, and disconnection with work.

Burnout and Physical Activity as Predictors of Job Satisfaction Among Peruvian Nurses: The Job Demands-Resources Theory.

BACKGROUND: The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory suggests that an imbalance between job demands and available resources can lead to burnout, negatively affecting job satisfaction. Physical activity is recognized for its positive effects on psychological well-being and could play a crucial role in mitigating burnout and improving job satisfaction, especially in high-demand professions such as nursing. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the relationship between burnout, physical activity, and job satisfaction in Peruvian nurses, using the JD-R theory as a theoretical framework. METHODS: A cross-sectional and explanatory analysis was conducted on a sample of 420 Peruvian nurses, using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) design to analyze the relationships between burnout, physical activity, and job satisfaction. The instruments included the Ultra-Short Burnout Measure (IUB), the General Job Satisfaction Scale NTP 394, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). RESULTS: The findings showed a significant negative correlation between burnout and physical activity (ß = -.40, P < .001) and between burnout and job satisfaction (ß = -.46, P < .001). Physical activity exhibited a significant positive correlation with job satisfaction (ß = .22, P < .001). Moreover, mediation analysis confirmed that physical activity mediates the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction (ß = -.106, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The findings emphasize the importance of physical activity as a mediator in the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction among Peruvian nurses, highlighting the need to promote physical activity as a strategy to improve workplace well-being. It is suggested that enhancing access to and promotion of physical activity could mitigate the effects of burnout and improve job satisfaction, which is essential for the quality of care and the well-being of nursing staff. These findings underscore the need for organizational and public health strategies that promote a healthy work environment and balance between the demands and resources available.

[Men working through mobile applications in Brazil: Reflections from occupational health]. / Hombres que trabajan a través de aplicaciones móviles en Brasil: reflexiones desde la salud ocupacional.

Work through mobile applications emerged as an alternative for many Brazilian men during the economic crisis and rising unemployment. However, these workers operate informally, without a formal employment relationship, leading to labor precariousness and a lack of workers' rights. Using a theoretical-reflexive, this study analyzes the intersection between occupational health, the platformization of work, and the specific challenges faced by male delivery app workers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reflective categories are divided into two thematic sections: "Labor insertion through mobile applications in Brazil and the algorithmic work model" and "men, health, and motorcycles: occupational health and male behavior in app-based delivery work." The study examines the expansion of this type of work in the Brazilian socio-economic context, the lack of security and labor protection for these workers, as well as the risks faced, particularly during the pandemic, within a male-centric culture.

El trabajo a través de aplicaciones móviles surgió como una alternativa para muchos hombres brasileños durante la crisis económica y el aumento del desempleo. Sin embargo, estos trabajadores operan de manera informal, sin relación laboral, lo que genera precariedad laboral y falta de derechos laborales. Desde un abordaje teórico-reflexivo, este artículo analiza la intersección entre la salud ocupacional, la plataformización del trabajo y los desafíos específicos que enfrentan los hombres repartidores de aplicaciones, especialmente durante la pandemia de covid-19. Las categorías reflexivas se dividieron en dos secciones temáticas: "La inserción laboral a través de aplicaciones móviles en Brasil y el modelo de trabajo mediante algoritmos" y "hombres, salud y motocicletas: la salud ocupacional y el comportamiento masculino en el trabajo a través de aplicaciones de entrega". Se examina la expansión de este tipo de trabajo en el contexto socioeconómico brasileño, la falta de seguridad y protección laboral para estos trabajadores, así como los riesgos enfrentados, especialmente durante la pandemia, en el marco de una cultura masculina.

OBJETIVO: Este estudo teve como objetivo propor um modelo cognitivo/explicativo que represente as mudanças que podem ser incorporadas à vida de jovens de baixa renda, a partir de sua primeira experiência de emprego formal. MÉTODO: A amostra do estudo foi composta por 25 jovens beneficiários do Programa Primeiro Emprego/BA, que participaram de grupos focais on-line. Para a análise, as falas foram inicialmente categorizadas por meio da análise de conteúdo temática e, em seguida, visando uma sistematização e o estabelecimento de uma relação entre as categorias adotadas, foi utilizada a técnica do mapeamento cognitivo. RESULTADOS: A partir da análise das falas dos jovens, foram identificados 29 núcleos de sentidos, distribuídos em torno da tríade indivíduo- trabalho-sociedade. Entre as mudanças pessoais percebidas, destacam-se a valorização e o crescimento pessoal, assim como questões financeiras. Nas mudanças laborais, o aumento da empregabilidade como resultado da maior qualificação profissional e das novas habilidades técnicas adquiridas foi amplamente citado. Por fim, no que diz respeito às mudanças sociais, a percepção de alteração do status social ficou evidente. A maioria das mudanças observadas foram positivas e indicaram um aumento na qualidade de vida dos jovens de baixa renda. CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se, portanto, que para uma modificação dos padrões de reprodução da força de trabalho juvenil, baseados na precarização e na subalternidade, é necessária uma transformação da realidade laboral dos seus atores.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to propose a cognitive/explanatory model that represents the changes that can be incorporated into the lives of low-income young people, from their first experience of formal employment. METHOD: The study sample consisted of 25 young beneficiaries of the First Employment Program/ BA, who participated in online focus groups. For the analysis, the speeches were initially categorized through thematic content analysis and, then, aiming at systematization and the establishment of a relationship between the adopted categories, the cognitive mapping technique was used. RESULTS: Based on the analysis of the young people's statements, 29 nuclei of meanings were identified, and distributed around the individual-work-society triad. Among the perceived personal changes, valorization and personal growth stand out, as well as financial issues. In terms of job changes, the increase in employability as a result of higher professional qualifications and new technical skills acquired was widely cited. Finally, with regard to social changes, the perception of change in social status was evident. Most of the changes observed were positive and indicated an increase in the quality of life of low-income youth. CONCLUSION: It is concluded, therefore, that for a change in the system, a transformation of the work reality of its actors is necessary.

Síndrome de burnout en pandemia y satisfacción laboral en médicos serumistas de Ayacucho / Pandemic burnout and job satisfaction among doctors from Ayacucho engaged in the SERUMS program

RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre el síndrome de burnout (SB) y la satisfacción laboral (SL) en los médicos serumistas de Ayacucho en el contexto de la pandemia por la COVID-19. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional, transversal, que usó un modelo crudo y ajustado para evaluar la asociación entre el SB, valorado por medio del cuestionario Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), y la SL, por medio del cuestionario de satisfacción S20/23. Las asociaciones se presentaron como razón de prevalencia (RP) con sus respectivos intervalos de confianza al 95 % (IC al 95 %). Resultados: De los 70 médicos serumistas, se encontró que el 77,14 % tenía entre 18-33 años, el 52,86 % eran hombres, el 51,43 % tenía menos de un año de experiencia laboral y el 88,57 % laboró en un centro de salud del Ministerio de Salud (Minsa). La prevalencia del SB fue de 45,71 %. La prevalencia del SB con insatisfacción fue del 30 %; con satisfacción, 32,86 %, y los indiferentes, 37,14 %. En el análisis crudo encontramos significancia estadística entre el SB y la SL (RP = 13,5; IC del 95 %:3,08-59,24), y en el análisis ajustado por sexo, estado civil y tiempo de experiencia laboral, la asociación entre el SB y la SL permaneció estadísticamente significativa (RP = 14,15; IC del 95 %: 3,02-66,32). Conclusiones: El SB se asocia a la SL de manera negativa, encontrando uno de cada dos médicos con SB. Además, se sugiere que existe mayor probabilidad de insatisfacción laboral en el personal con SB. Ello da a entender que podría usarse como indicador en diferentes áreas de la gestión y ser un punto a evaluar en la toma de decisiones en las directivas de salud. La solución de estos problemas contribuiría a mejorar las condiciones laborales actuales y, por ende, el sistema de salud.

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the association between psychosocial work factors and symptoms of anxiety or depression among healthcare personnel in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Hospital Regional Eleazar Guzmán Barrón in Nuevo Chimbote. Materials and methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted, using both crude and adjusted models, to determine the association between burnout syndrome (BS), evaluated through the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and job satisfaction (JS), assessed via the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire S20/23. The associations were expressed as prevalence ratios (PR) with their respective 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI). Results: Out of the 70 doctors engaged in the SERUMS program, 77.14 % were aged between 18 and 33 years, 52.86 % were males, 51.43 % had less than one year work experience and 88.57 % worked at a health center of the Ministry of Health. The prevalence of BS was 45.71 %. The prevalence of JS was as follows: dissatisfaction 30 %, satisfaction 32.86 % and indifference 37.14 %. In the crude analysis, a statistically significant association between BS and JS was found (PR = 13.5; 95 % CI: 3.08 59.24) and in the analysis adjusted for sex, marital status and length of work experience, the association between BS and JS remained statistically significant (PR = 14.15; 95 % CI: 3.02 66.32). Conclusions: BS is negatively associated with JS, with one in two doctors experiencing BS. Moreover, there appears to be a higher likelihood of job dissatisfaction among personnel with BS. This suggests that BS could serve as an indicator in different management areas and be considered in health management decision-making. Solving these issues could contribute to improving current working conditions and, therefore, the healthcare system.

Depression, professional self-efficacy, and job performance as predictors of life satisfaction: the mediating role of work engagement in nurses.

Background: The life satisfaction and job performance of nursing professionals are affected by a multitude of factors, including work engagement, self-efficacy, and depression. The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model provides a theoretical framework to explore these relationships. Objective: Our study aimed to analyze the primary goal of this research, which is to examine the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between depression, professional self-efficacy, job performance, and their impact on life satisfaction in nurses, using the JD-R theory as a guide. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 579 participants aged between 21 to 57 years (M = 39, SD = 9.95). Mediation analysis was used to examine the influence of depression, self-efficacy, and job performance on work engagement, and in turn, its effect on life satisfaction. Results: Findings indicated that work engagement plays a crucial mediating role between depression, self-efficacy, job performance, and life satisfaction. Interventions to increase work engagement could assist nurses in better managing depression and improving their performance and life satisfaction. Conclusions: Our study highlights the need for workplace policies and strategies that foster work engagement and self-efficacy among nurses while effectively managing job demands to prevent depression. Moreover, these findings underscore the importance of the JD-R theory to understand and improve nurses' job satisfaction and performance, and suggest areas for future research, including exploring other potential factors and applying these findings across different contexts and cultures.

Mental Health Professionals' Perception of Respect for Human Rights and Organizational Well-Being in Three Countries of South America.

The respect for human rights in mental health care services significantly contributes to organizational well-being and is evolving into an actual benchmark of quality standards. This study assesses the perception of the respect for human rights for users and staff, as well as organizational and job satisfaction among mental health professionals in three South American countries, through the well-being at work and respect for human rights (WWRR) questionnaire and assesses whether there are significant differences. Seven mental health facilities in Argentina, Colombia, and Peru were involved in this observational study. The sample comprised 310 mental health professionals. The three countries exhibited differences in WWRR, particularly in the staff's satisfaction with resources for care (η2 = 0.166) and staff's satisfaction with organizational aspects (η2 = 0.113). Colombia had the lowest scores in these factors but the highest in the perception of the respect for human rights for users and staff, although this difference did not reach a statistical significance. Despite the progress made in recent years towards coercion-free medical standards and an increased focus on mental health polices in Latin American countries, there is a need to enhance the quality standards of mental health services, recognizing the value that the respect for human rights holds for the organizational well-being of both mental health users and professionals.

O objetivo desse estudo foi conhecer o perfil profissional dos egressos do Curso de Odontologia da Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia e o grau de satisfação em relação ao âmbito de trabalho. Foi realizado um estudo quali-quantitativo e transversal por meio de questionário onlineautoaplicável enviado por meio das redes sociais para os cirurgiões-dentistas que colaram grau entre 2009 e 2020. Os dados obtidos foram tabulados em planilha Excel e submetidos à análise descritiva e ao teste Qui-quadrado de Pearson com nível de significância de 5%. Quando a frequência esperada foi menor que cinco (n<5), utilizou-se o teste exato de Fisher. Para a questão discursiva foi utilizada a técnica de análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin. Dos 383 egressos, 124 (32%) participaram da pesquisa. Observou-se que 74,2% são do sexo feminino e 44,6% realizaram especialização. A maioria (84,6%) se inseriu no mercado de trabalho em até um mês após a formatura e atuavam como profissional liberal (30,2%). Houve diferença significativa quando associadas as variáveis satisfação com a profissão e valorização financeira. A insegurança em atuar na profissão foi relacionada a não ter mais a supervisão do docente. Ademais, foram apontadas pouca exploração nos conteúdos de gestão e empreendedorismo durante a graduação. Conclui-se que os egressos conseguiram uma rápida inserção no mercado de trabalho após a colação de grau e que um elevado percentual dos cirurgiões-dentistas se sente satisfeito com a profissão (AU).

The objective of this study was to review the profile of the Dentistry School graduates from a State University in Southwest Bahia and the degree of satisfaction in relation to their work. A qualitative-quantitative and cross-sectional study was carried out using an online self-administered questionnaire forwarded through the social networks WhatsApp and Instagram to dental surgeons who graduated between 2009 and 2020. The data obtained were tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet and subjected to descriptive analysis and Pearson's Chi-square test with a significance level of 5%. For the open-ended question, the content analysis technique proposed by Bardin was used. Out of the 383 graduates, 124 (32%) participated in the survey. The majority (84.6%) entered the job market within one month after graduation and had been working as independent professionals (30.2%). There was a significant difference with regard to job satisfaction and financial appreciation. The insecurity in the professional endeavor was associated with the fact that a teacher's guidance was no more available. Furthermore, little exploration of management and entrepreneurship matters had been addressed during the graduation course. It is concluded that graduates were able to quickly enter the job market after graduating and that extracurricular activities are crucial in guiding their future profession and in contributing to professional qualification (AU).

Intra- and Inter-Individual Associations of Family-to-Work Conflict, Psychological Distress, and Job Satisfaction: Gender Differences in Dual-Earner Parents during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the work-family interface dynamics in some families. For couples who kept earning a double income during the pandemic, their family demands may entail a loss of psychological resources that affect the work domain. This study explored the intra-individual and inter-individual (crossover) direct and indirect effects of family-to-work conflict (FtoWC) on psychological distress and job satisfaction in a non-probabilistic sample of 860 different-sex dual-earner parents with adolescent children from Temuco and Rancagua, Chile. Mothers and fathers answered an online questionnaire measuring FtoWC, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, and the Overall Job Satisfaction Scale. The data were analyzed using the actor-partner interdependence model with structural equation modeling. Results showed that a higher FtoWC is linked to greater psychological distress and lower job satisfaction in both parents. In contrast, psychological distress is directly linked to lower job satisfaction in fathers. In both fathers and mothers, they and their partners' FtoWC were indirectly linked to lower job satisfaction via the fathers' psychological distress. These findings indicate the need for gender-sensitive social and labor policies aimed at reducing the conflict between family and work to increase job satisfaction in both parents and reduce psychological distress, particularly in fathers.

Desempeño docente percibido por una población de estudiantes asociado al nivel de satisfacción autorreportada por los profesores de la Licenciatura de Cirujano Dentista de la Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México / Teaching performance perceived by a population of students associated with the level of satisfaction self-reported by the professors of the Degree of Dental Surgeon of the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México / Desempenho docente percepcionado por uma população de estudantes associado ao nível de satisfação autoreportado pelos professores do curso de Cirurgião Dentista da Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza da Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

RESUMEN Objetivo : Describir la asociación del desempeño docente percibido por una población de estudiantes y el nivel de satisfacción autorreportada por los profesores de la Licenciatura de Cirujano Dentista de la Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional, prolectivo, transversal, descriptivo, realizado en dos fases. En la primera se mostró la satisfacción laboral autorreportada por 123 académicos; en la segunda fase se encuestó a 120 estudiantes para que evaluaran a sus 6 docentes muy satisfechos, y a 140 para los 7 muy insatisfechos, para lo cual se les aplicó una encuesta adaptada del Departamento de Evaluación Docente de la facultad. Resultados : Al asociar el desempeño de los 6 docentes más satisfechos laboralmente con la percepción que de ellos tienen sus 120 estudiantes, los resultados muestran que el 2 % (n = 2) considera que los académicos tienen un mal desempeño vs. el 44 % (n = 53) que considera que tienen un desempeño excelente. En cuanto a los 7 docentes identificados como muy insatisfechos, desde la mirada de los estudiantes, el 10 % (n = 14) considera que el desempeño es malo; y para el 49 % (n = 68) es excelente. La satisfacción laboral autorreportada por los 13 académicos y el desempeño docente percibido por sus estudiantes no mostró diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Para los estudiantes, un docente tiene un excelente ejercicio de su actividad pese a su insatisfacción laboral, así como un mal desempeño aun cuando se autopercibe como muy satisfecho. Conclusiones : Los resultados de la investigación muestran que no hay una asociación entre el rendimiento docente y la satisfacción laboral según los estudiantes. La actitud de un profesor hacia los estudiantes no siempre coincide con su nivel de satisfacción laboral.

ABSTRACT Objective : To describe the association between the teaching performance perceived by a population of students and the level of satisfaction self-reported by the professors of the bachelor's degree program in Dental Surgery of the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Materials and methods : Observational, prolective, cross-sectional, descriptive study, conducted in two phases. The first phase showed the self-reported job satisfaction of 123 academics; in the second phase, 120 students were surveyed to evaluate their 6 very satisfied teachers and 140 for the 7 dissatisfied ones, for which a survey adapted from the Department of Teaching Evaluation of the faculty was applied. Results : When associating the performance of the 6 teachers most satisfied with their job with the perception that their 120 students have of them, the results show that 2 % (n = 2) consider that the academics have a poor performance vs. 44 % (n = 53) who consider that they have an excellent performance. As for the 7 teachers identified as very dissatisfied, from the students' point of view, 10 % (n = 14) consider the performance poor; and for 49 % (n = 68), it is excellent. The job satisfaction self-reported by the 13 academics and the teaching performance perceived by their students did not show statistically significant differences. For the students, a teacher has excellent performance despite job dissatisfaction and poor performance even when he or she perceives himself or herself as very satisfied. Conclusions : The research results show no association between teaching performance and job satisfaction according to students. A teacher's attitude towards students does not always coincide with his or her level of job satisfaction.

RESUMO Objetivo : Descrever a associação entre o desempenho docente percepcionado por uma população de estudantes e o nível de satisfação autoreportado pelos professores da Licenciatura em Cirurgia Dentária na Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza da Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Materiais e métodos : Estudo observacional, proletivo, transversal e descritivo realizado em duas fases. Na primeira fase, foi analisada a satisfação profissional autorreferida de 123 académicos; na segunda fase, 120 estudantes foram inquiridos para avaliar os seus 6 professores altamente satisfeitos e 140 para os 7 insatisfeitos, utilizando um inquérito adaptado do Departamento de Avaliação do Ensino da faculdade. Resultados : Ao associar o desempenho dos 6 professores mais satisfeitos com o seu trabalho à percepção que os seus 120 alunos têm deles, os resultados mostram que 2 % (n = 2) consideram que os académicos têm um mau desempenho contra 44 % (n = 53) que consideram que têm um excelente desempenho. Quanto aos 7 professores identificados como muito insatisfeitos, do ponto de vista dos estudantes, 10 % (n = 14) consideram que o seu desempenho é mau; e para 49 % (n = 68) é excelente. A satisfação profissional autorrelatada pelos 13 académicos e o desempenho docente percepcionado pelos seus estudantes não revelaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas. Para os estudantes, um professor tem um desempenho excelente apesar da sua insatisfação profissional e tem um desempenho fraco mesmo quando se considera muito satisfeito. Conclusões : Os resultados da investigação mostram que não existe uma associação entre o desempenho docente e a satisfação profissional, segundo os estudantes. A atitude de um professor em relação aos alunos nem sempre coincide com o seu nível de satisfação profissional.

Identifying the most important, frequent, and physically demanding tasks of Brazilian firefighters.

This study aimed to identify the most important, frequently performed, and physically demanding tasks performed by Brazilian firefighters and to identify tasks that could be used to assess physical fitness. A subjective task analysis was conducted. Five hundred twenty-four firefighters (84% male; 16% females) responded to an online survey and rated 37 tasks across three domains (most important, most frequent, and most physically demanding). A dichotomous decision analysis was used to inform the proposed physical fitness tests. Wildland firefighting tasks presented the highest overall mean rate. Traffic control was considered the most important and frequently performed task. Lifeguard rescue was considered the most physically demanding task. The dichotomous analysis identified 14 essential tasks (seven structural firefighting and seven automobile accidents). The tasks identified may be helpful in developing criterion physical fitness tests and training programs related to firefighters' demands.Practitioner summary: The unpredictability, variability, and dangerousness of firefighting make it challenging to observe the physical demands imposed on firefighters. A subjective task analysis was conducted to identify essential tasks performed by Brazilian firefighters. Wildland firefighting, lifeguard rescue, automobile accidents, and structural firefighting tasks were the most important, frequent, and physically demanding.

Team climate and job satisfaction in a mobile emergency service: a multilevel study / Clima en equipo y satisfacción laboral en un servicio de atención móvil de urgencia: estudio multinivel / Clima em equipe e satisfação no trabalho em um serviço de atendimento móvel de urgência: estudo multinível

Objective: to investigate the relationship between team climate and job satisfaction among professionals working in mobile pre-hospital care. Method: this is a quantitative, correlational study carried out in a mobile pre-hospital care service in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region. The participants were 95 professionals, allocated to 40 teams, who answered three questionnaires: sociodemographic/labor data, Team Climate Scale and S20/23 Job Satisfaction Scale. Descriptive statistics and multilevel linear models were used for the analysis, including moderation effects. The Backward method was used to ascertain the order of significance. Results: in the models, the relationships between satisfaction with hierarchical relationships and the factor "support for new ideas" moderated for men and "task orientation" for women were significant. For satisfaction with the physical environment, "working hours" and "participation in the team" were significant and, for intrinsic satisfaction, the regime, working hours and the factors "team objectives", "participation in the team" and "support for new ideas" remained significant, as did the moderation effect between length of service, "participation in the team" and "support for new ideas". Conclusion: team climate is influenced by job satisfaction in a heterogeneous way and the moderating effect of this relationship is associated with gender and length of service.

Objetivo: examinar la relación entre el clima en equipo y la satisfacción laboral de los profesionales que trabajan en servicios de atención prehospitalaria móvil. Método: estudio cuantitativo y correlacional realizado en un servicio de atención prehospitalaria móvil en la Región Metropolitana de São Paulo. Participaron 95 profesionales, distribuidos en 40 equipos, que respondieron a tres cuestionarios: datos sociodemográficos/laborales, Escalas de Clima en Equipo y de Satisfacción Laboral S20/23. Para el análisis, se utilizaron estadísticas descriptivas y modelos lineales multiniveles, incluyendo efectos de moderación. Se empleó el método Backward para determinar el orden de significancia. Resultados: en los modelos, fueron significativas las relaciones entre la satisfacción con las relaciones jerárquicas y el factor "apoyo para nuevas ideas" moderado por el género masculino y "orientación hacia las tareas" en mujeres. Para la satisfacción con el ambiente físico, fueron significativos "jornada laboral" y "participación en el equipo", y para la satisfacción intrínseca, se mantuvieron significativos el régimen, la jornada y los factores "objetivos del equipo", "participación en el equipo" y "apoyo para ideas nuevas", y el efecto de moderación entre el tiempo de actuación, "participación en el equipo" y "apoyo para ideas nuevas". Conclusión: el clima en equipo es influenciado por la satisfacción laboral de manera heterogénea y el efecto moderador de esta relación se asocia con el género y el tiempo de actuación en el servicio.

Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho: Comparação entre Três Modelos Estruturais / Escala de Satisfacción Laboral: Comparación entre Tres Modelos Estructurales / Scale of Job Satisfaction: Comparison among Three Structural Models

Resumo A estrutura original da Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho (EST) é constituída por cinco fatores de primeira ordem (Modelo 1), correspondendo ao nível específico do construto satisfação no trabalho (ST). Contudo, estudos sugeriram duas outras estruturas, com um ou dois fatores de segunda ordem, respectivamente, nível geral (Modelo 3) e nível intermediário (Modelo 2). Este estudo testou esses três modelos estruturais para a EST, a fim de verificar qual deles apresentaria melhor ajuste. Foram analisados os dados de 200 trabalhadores que responderam à versão reduzida da EST, por meio de análise fatorial confirmatória e teste da diferença do qui-quadrado. Nos resultados, encontrou-se bom ajuste para os três modelos. Entretanto, o melhor ajuste foi para o Modelo 2, seguido dos Modelos 1 e 3. Concluiu-se que a EST pode ser utilizada para mensuração dos três níveis do constructo ST.

Abstract The original structure of the Scale of Job Satisfaction (SJS) consists of five first-order factors (Model 1), corresponding to the specific level of the job satisfaction (JS) construct. However, studies suggested two other structures, each with one or two second-order factors, representing the overall level (Model 3) and the intermediate level (Model 2) respectively. This study aimed to test these three structural models for the SJS to determine which one provided the best fit. Data from 200 workers who completed the short version of the SJS were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and a chi-squared difference test. The results indicated a good fit for all three models. However, Model 2 showed the best fit, followed by Models 1 and 3. It was concluded that the SJS can be used to measure the three levels of the JS construct.

Resumen La estructura original de la Escala de Satisfacción Laboral (ESL) consta de cinco factores de primer orden (Modelo 1), los cuales corresponden al nivel específico del constructo satisfacción laboral (SL). Sin embargo, estudios han sugerido otras dos estructuras, con uno o dos factores de segundo orden, respectivamente correspondientes al nivel general (Modelo 3) y nivel intermedio (Modelo 2). Este estudio probó estos tres modelos estructurales para la ESL, con el fin de verificar cuál presentaría el mejor ajuste. Se analizaron los datos de 200 trabajadores que respondieron a la versión reducida de la ESL, mediante un análisis factorial confirmatorio y la prueba de diferencia de chi-cuadrado. En los resultados, se encontró un buen ajuste para los tres modelos. No obstante, se observó que el Modelo 2 mostró el mejor ajuste, seguido por los Modelos 1 y 3. Se concluyó que la ESL se puede utilizar para medir los tres niveles del constructo SL.

Perfil de Egresos de Psicología de una Universidad del Interior Cearense / Perfil de egressos de psicologia de uma universidade do interior cearense / Profile of psychology graduates from a university in the countryside of the state of ceará

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o perfil dos egressos do curso de Psicologia da Universidade Federal do Ceará, campus Sobral. Realizou-se um levantamento por meio de questionário autoaplicável (n = 157). A maioria dos participantes era do gênero feminino e tinha entre 20 e 30 anos. Os dados foram analisados com o programa IBM SPSS (versão 22). Foram produzidas estatísticas descritivas. Dentre os achados, viu-se que a maioria dos egressos nascera e residia na macrorregião de Sobral/Ibiapaba. Grande parte dos egressos trabalhava como psicólogo e a clínica foi a área de atuação mais citada. A principal dificuldade para a inserção no mercado de trabalho foi a reduzida experiência profissional. Depreende-se que a interiorização das universidades está relacionada à inclusão social ao possibilitar o acesso à educação e a fixação de profissionais no interior dos estados.

RESUMEN El propósito de la presente investigación fue examinar el perfil de los egresados de la carrera de Psicología en la Universidad Federal de Ceará, ubicada en el campus de Sobral. Para ello, se efectuó una recolección de datos mediante un cuestionario autoadministrado, el cual fue completado por un total de 157 participantes. La mayoría de estos eran mujeres, con edades comprendidas entre los 20 y 30 años. El análisis de los datos recabados se llevó a cabo utilizando el software IBM SPSS, versión 22, generando estadísticas descriptivas. Entre los hallazgos, la mayoría de los egresados son originarios y residentes de la macrorregión de Sobral/Ibiapaba. Se observó que un número considerable de los graduados se desempeña profesionalmente como psicólogos, siendo la práctica clínica el ámbito más frecuentemente señalado de actuación. Uno de los principales obstáculos identificados para la inserción en el mercado laboral fue la limitada experiencia profesional de los egresados. A partir de estos resultados, se infiere que la descentralización de las universidades cumple un papel fundamental en la inclusión social, al facilitar el acceso a la educación superior y promover la retención de profesionales en las áreas más alejadas de los centros urbanos.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine the demographic and professional characteristics of Psychology graduates from the Federal University of Ceará's Sobral campus. Conducted via a self-administered questionnaire with 157 respondents, the survey found that a predominant number of participants were female, aged 20 to 30 years. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS software (version 22), generating descriptive statistics. Results indicated that most graduates originated from and resided within the Sobral/Ibiapaba macro-region, with a significant number employed as psychologists, particularly in clinical practice. The primary barrier to job market entry identified was limited professional experience. This study suggests that the decentralization of higher education contributes to social inclusion, promoting both access to education and the retention of professionals in less urbanized areas.
