Prevalence and Factors Associated with Burnout Syndrome among Primary Health Care Nursing Professionals: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with Burnout Syndrome (BS) in Primary Health Care (PHC) nursing professionals from the state of Bahia, Brazil. A multicentre, cross-sectional population-based study was conducted in a cluster sample among 1125 PHC Nursing professionals during the years 2017 and 2018. We used a questionnaire that included sociodemographic, labor and lifestyle variables and the Maslach Burnout Inventory scale to identify BS. The associations were evaluated using a robust Poisson regression with the hierarchical selection of the independent variables. The prevalence of BS was 18.3% and the associated factors were ethnicity (prevalence ratio (PR) = 0.62, confidence interval (CI) 95% = 0.47-0.83), residence (PR = 2.35, CI 95% = 1.79-3.09), economic situation (PR = 1.40, CI 95% = 1.06-1.86), satisfaction with current occupation (PR = 1.75, CI 95% = 1.31-2.33), (PR = 1.60, CI 95% = 1.23-2.08), rest (PR = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.41-2.37), technical resources and equipment (PR = 1.37, CI 95% = 1.06-1.77), night shift (PR = 1.49, CI 95% = 1.14-1.96), physical activity practice (PR = 1.72; CI 95% = 1.28-2.31), smoking (PR = 1.82, CI 95% = 1.35-2.45), and satisfaction with physical form (PR = 1.34, CI 95% = 1.01-179). Strategies are needed to prevent BS, with an emphasis on implementing worker health programs in the context of PHC.

Objetivo: estimar a prevalência da Síndrome de Burnout e identificar o perfil sociodemográfico, laboral, estilo de vida e saúde de residentes multiprofissionais de saúde de uma Universidade pública da Bahia, Brasil. Metodologia: estudo transversal, descritivo, realizado com 63 residentes. Utilizou-se o Maslach Burnout Inventory e um questionário contendo questões sociodemográficas, laborais, estilo de vida e saúde. Resultados: ao analisar as dimensões da síndrome, 82,5% apresentaram nível alto de exaustão emocional; 55,5% nível moderado de despersonalização e 88,8% nível alto de reduzida realização profissional. Destaca-se a maior ocorrência do Burnout em enfermeiros (50%), profissionais atuantes no âmbito hospitalar (71,4%) e em recém-formados (média 2,1 anos). 60,3% dos residentes consideraram não ter uma alimentação saudável e 29,5% apresentaram excesso de peso. Conclusão: os resultados apontam uma prevalência significativa de síndrome de burnout, sendo encontradas altas alterações nas três dimensões da síndrome em 22,2% dos residentes.

Objective: to estimate the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome, and identify the sociodemographic, occupational, lifestyle, and health profile of multi-professional healthcare residents at a public university in Bahia, Brazil. Methods: a descriptive, crosssectional study was conducted with 63 residents, using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and a questionnaire on sociodemographic, labor, lifestyle, and health issues. Results: on examining the dimensions of the syndrome, 82.5% were found to present high levels of emotional exhaustion; 55.5%, moderate levels of depersonalization; and 88.8%, high levels of diminished professional fulfilment. Burnout occurred most often in nurses (50%), professionals working in hospitals (71.4%) and recent graduates (mean 2.1 years), while 60.3% of the residents regarded their diet at unhealthy, and 29.5% were overweight. Conclusion: the results indicate a significant prevalence of Burnout Syndrome, and marked changes in the three dimensions of the syndrome were found in 22.2% of the residents.

Metabolic Syndrome Among Primary Health Care Nursing Professionals: A Cross-Sectional Population-Based Study.

This research aims at evaluating prevalence and factors associated with metabolic syndrome (MS) in primary health care (PHC) nursing professionals. A multicenter, population-based and cross-sectional study was conducted in a team-tested sample of 1125 PHC nurses in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Sociodemographic, labor, lifestyle and human biology variables were investigated by mean of anamnesis. MS was evaluated according to the criteria of the first Brazilian Guideline for Metabolic Syndrome, which fully adopts the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III. MS-associated factors were tested by using robust Poisson Regression. The prevalence of MS found was 24.4%; low High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was the most prevalent component of the syndrome. In the multivariate analysis, physical inactivity (PR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.02-1.53), alcohol use (PR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.22-2.77), acanthosis nigricans (PR = 3.23, 95% CI = 2.65-3.92), burnout syndrome (PR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.17-1.81), (PR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.12-1.69), working as a nursing technician (PR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.14-1.80), were associated to MS. It was found that the prevalence of MS was high, which evidences the need for interventions in the PHC environment, improvement of working conditions, monitoring of worker safety and health, diet programs and physical activity.
