Associated factors of professional burnout among faculty members of graduate stricto sensu programs in language teaching and linguistics: a cross-sectional study

Abstract BACKGROUND: The burnout syndrome can be avoided and/or have its signs and symptoms reduced by knowing the five associated factors that help identify the health and working conditions of the professors of graduate programs. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors associated with burnout among faculty members of graduate stricto sensu programs. DESIGN AND SETTING: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 585 faculty members of Graduate Programs in Language Teaching and Linguistics in Brazil. METHODS: Data were collected through an online questionnaire. The outcomes were the dimensions of burnout and its related factors identified through multiple templates of logistic regression. RESULTS: Faculty members with increased chances of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization mentioned the use of medications due to labor activities. The negative influence of pace and intensity of work, thoughts about quitting the program, and having to produce three or more scientific articles were associated with higher chances of emotional exhaustion, while having to achieve nine hours per week in undergraduate programs was related to reduced personal accomplishment. Having a conjugal relationship, satisfaction with health and work, post-doctoral degree, autonomy, and good interpersonal relationships with faculty members of the program reduced the chances of emotional exhaustion. Reduced chances of depersonalization occurred among those who were satisfied with work, had good interpersonal relationships with advisees and faculty members, and received productivity funding. CONCLUSION: Sociodemographic, health, and occupational factors related to the dimensions of burnout were identified.

Violência laboral contra professores da rede pública de nível fundamental e médio / Workplace violence against teachers of public elementar and high schools

O presente estudo teve por objetivo identificar a prevalência da violência laboral perpetrada contra professores da rede pública de nível fundamental e médio. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com dados coletados entre julho de 2018 e fevereiro de 2019, com 200 professores de 18 escolas públicas urbanas, de um município do interior do estado do Paraná, Brasil. Análises descritivas e inferenciais foram realizadas e razões de prevalência (RP) calculadas. A prevalência de atos violentos físicos e verbais foi de 3% e 28%, respectivamente, sendo cometidos principalmente por alunos do sexo masculino. A violência verbal foi mais frequente contra professores do sexo masculino (p=0,021; RP=1,12) e com mais de 40 anos (p=0,034; RP=1,10), ocorreu mais de três vezes no último ano, dentro da instituição e configurou-se em experiências que geraram perda da satisfação com o trabalho, permeadas por sentimento de injustiça e impotência. Pode-se concluir que os professores sofreram violência laboral de natureza física e verbal nos ambientes educacionais. (AU)

The objective of the present study is to identify theprevalence of workplace violence against teachers in public elementary and high schools. This is a cross-sectional study with data collected from July 2018 to February 2019, with 200 teachers from 18 urban public schools, in a municipality located in the center-west of the state of Paraná, Brazil. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed, and prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated. The prevalence of physical and verbal violent acts was 3% and 28%, respectively, and male students were the main agents. Verbal violence was more frequent against male teachers (p=0.021; PR=1.12) and those over 40 years old (p=0.034; PR=1.10), it occurred more than three times in the past year, within the educational environment and were events that resulted in loss of professional satisfaction associated with feelings of injustice and powerlessness. The study concluded that teachers suffered physical and verbal workplace violence in educational environments.(AU)

Workaholism and burnout among stricto sensu graduate professors.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association of excessive work and compulsive work with the dimensions of the burnout syndrome in masters and doctoral professors of Languages, Literature, and Linguistics in Brazil. METHODS: Cross-sectional study carried out with 585 permanent professors of stricto sensu graduate studies in Languages, Literature, and Linguistics in Brazil. Data collection took place between February and August 2019, by an online questionnaire. The outcomes of this study were the compulsive work and excessive work dimensions of the Dutch Work Addiction Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory TM dimensions and their associated factors, identified by multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS: Professors with a high level of excessive work (29.40%) had 2.75 times the chance of high emotional exhaustion and 2.08 times the chance of high depersonalization. Regarding professors with a high level of compulsive work (8.03%), they had 4.88 times the chance of high emotional exhaustion and 2.97 times the chance of high depersonalization. No association of excessive work and compulsive work with low professional fulfillment was identified. CONCLUSION: The results showed a statistically significant association of excessive work and compulsive work with high emotional exhaustion and high depersonalization, allowing managers and professors to reflect the criteria that guide their work processes, to adopt management models, institutional regulatory policies, and strategies to improve the working conditions and health of professors.

Internal Regulation Center in hospitals: Repercussions of its implementation on the health services' indicators. / Núcleo Interno de Regulação hospitalar: repercussões da implantação nos indicadores dos serviços de saúde.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the hospital indicators and their repercussions on the number of monthly admissions to a public university hospital, before and after implementing the Internal Regulation Center. METHOD: An evaluative research study, of the Case Study type, developed in a public university hospital. A total of 28 indicators related to structure, production, productivity and quality were measured, which are part of internal Benchmarking. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and multiple regression to identify the independent factors and those associated with the number of monthly hospitalizations with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: Implementation of the Center significantly increased (p<0.001) the number of discharges, the bed utilization factor and the bed renewal rate, emergency hospitalization, bed occupancy percentage, surgical procedures performed and the patient-day mean value (p=0.027). There was a reduction (p<0.001) in the number of visits to the medical, obstetric and orthopedic emergency room, in the rates of in-hospital infection and infant mortality, as well as a mean reduction of 0.81/day, approximately one day less of hospitalization per patient, or a gain of 40 available beds per month. CONCLUSION: Although the number of available beds was lower in the post-implementation period, the bed replacement interval was reduced, representing an increase of 40 more beds per month due to the reduction in the patients' length of stay in the institution.

Burnout syndrome and workplace violence among nursing staff: a cross-sectional study

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Among healthcare professionals, nursing workers are the most prone to becoming victims of workplace violence and present the highest burnout levels. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between burnout syndrome and workplace violence among nursing workers. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study carried out at a teaching hospital in southern Brazil. METHODS: This study involved 242 nursing workers. We collected data over a six-month period using a sociodemographic and occupational survey, the Survey Questionnaire Workplace Violence in the Health Sector and the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey. For occupational violence, we selected the Survey Questionnaire Workplace Violence in the Health Sector. Burnout syndrome was evaluated using the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey. The data were analyzed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Categorical variables were described as absolute and relative frequencies and numerical variables in terms of central trend and dispersion measurements. For data analysis, we applied descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: The multiple models indicated that the workers who had experienced verbal abuse, physical violence and concern about workplace violence over the past 12 months had significantly higher chances of presenting high emotional exhaustion (P < 0.05) and depersonalization (P < 0.05) and low professional accomplishment (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Occurrence of violence significantly increased the chances of great emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and low professional achievement, within burnout syndrome. Therefore, workplace violence prevention strategies need to be put in place to provide workers with a safe workplace in which to conduct their activities.

Núcleo Interno de Regulação hospitalar: repercussões da implantação nos indicadores dos serviços de saúde / Internal Regulation Center in hospitals: Repercussions of its implementation on the health services' indicators / Centro Interno de Regulación hospitalaria: repercusiones de la implantación en los indicadores de los servicios de salud

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar os indicadores hospitalares e suas repercussões, antes e após a implantação do Núcleo Interno de Regulação, no número de internações mensais em hospital universitário público. Método Pesquisa avaliativa, do tipo Estudo de Caso desenvolvida em hospital universitário público. Foram mensurados 28 indicadores relacionados à estrutura, produção, produtividade e qualidade, que integram o referencial de Benchmarking interno. Os dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva e regressão múltipla para identificar os fatores independentes e associados ao número de internações mensais com intervalos de confiança de 95%. Resultados A implantação do Núcleo aumentou significativamente (p<0,001) o número de altas, o fator de utilização e índice de renovação dos leitos, internação de urgência, porcentagem de ocupação dos leitos, procedimentos cirúrgicos realizados e média de paciente-dia (p=0,027). Houve redução (p<0,001) no número de atendimentos no pronto socorro médico, obstétrico e ortopédico, nas taxas de infecção hospitalar e de mortalidade infantil, bem como na diminuição média de permanência de 0,81/dia, aproximadamente um dia a menos de internação por paciente, ou um ganho de 40 leitos disponíveis ao mês. Conclusão Embora o número de leitos disponíveis tenha sido menor no período pós-implantação, o intervalo de substituição de leitos reduziu, representando o aumento de mais 40 leitos ao mês devido à diminuição do tempo de permanência dos pacientes na instituição.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the hospital indicators and their repercussions on the number of monthly admissions to a public university hospital, before and after implementing the Internal Regulation Center. Method An evaluative research study, of the Case Study type, developed in a public university hospital. A total of 28 indicators related to structure, production, productivity and quality were measured, which are part of internal Benchmarking. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and multiple regression to identify the independent factors and those associated with the number of monthly hospitalizations with 95% confidence intervals. Results Implementation of the Center significantly increased (p<0.001) the number of discharges, the bed utilization factor and the bed renewal rate, emergency hospitalization, bed occupancy percentage, surgical procedures performed and the patient-day mean value (p=0.027). There was a reduction (p<0.001) in the number of visits to the medical, obstetric and orthopedic emergency room, in the rates of in-hospital infection and infant mortality, as well as a mean reduction of 0.81/day, approximately one day less of hospitalization per patient, or a gain of 40 available beds per month. Conclusion Although the number of available beds was lower in the post-implementation period, the bed replacement interval was reduced, representing an increase of 40 more beds per month due to the reduction in the patients' length of stay in the institution.

Resumen Objetivo Evaluar los indicadores hospitalarios y sus repercusiones, antes y después de la implantación del Centro Interno de Regulación, sobre el número de internaciones mensuales en un hospital universitario público. Método Investigación evaluativa, del tipo Estudio de Caso, desarrollada en un hospital universitario público. Se midieron 28 indicadores relacionados con la estructura, producción, productividad y calidad, que forman parte del Benchmarking interno. Los datos fueron analizados por estadística descriptiva y regresión múltiple para identificar factores independientes y asociados con el número de hospitalizaciones mensuales con un intervalo de confianza del 95%. Resultados La implantación del Centro incrementó significativamente (p<0,001) el número de altas, el factor de utilización y tasa de renovación de camas, la hospitalización de urgencia, el porcentaje de ocupación de camas, los procedimientos quirúrgicos realizados y el promedio de pacientes/día (p =0,027). Se registró una reducción (p<0,001) en el número de las consultas de emergencias médicas, obstétricas y ortopédicas, en las tasas de infección hospitalaria y mortalidad infantil, además de una disminución promedio de la estancia del 0,81/día, aproximadamente un día menos de hospitalización por paciente, o 40 camas disponibles más mes. Conclusión Aunque el número de camas disponibles fue menor en el período posterior a la implantación, el intervalo de sustitución de camas se redujo, lo que representó un aumento de 40 camas más por mes debido a la disminución de la estancia de los pacientes en la institución.
