Avaliação do Risco Biopsicossocial dos Trabalhadores em Ambiente Hospitalar

Introduction Health professionals are daily exposed to a set of demands that are often unpredictable and, consequently, have direct implications for their physical and mental health. These demands can come not only from users and family members, but also from working hours and conditions, which are difficult to control or change. According to the World Health Organization, chronic stress in the workplace leads to Burnout Syndrome. In this line of thought, one of the main concerns of Cantanhede’s Arcebispo João Crisóstomo Hospital is to seek and guarantee the general well-being of its employees and to make efforts to ensure a high level of this well-being. Objectives The main objective of this evaluation is to understand the Cantanhede’s Arcebispo João Crisóstomo Hospital health professionals’ levels of Anxiety, Depression and Burnout. Methodology Self-response instruments were used, such as the Anxiety, Depression and Stress Scale (EADS-42) and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) Questionnaire. These instruments were applied to professionals who voluntarily collaborated in the study. After applying them, the results were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results Out of the 62 employees who participated in the questionnaire, 83.9% are female and the most represented professional category is Nursing (38.7%). It should be noted that all the results obtained were considered normative/inferior when compared with the data for the Portuguese population, apart from Burnout, related to work, since it presents moderate values ​​for the male gender and moderate for Nursing professional category. Discussion/Conclusion Cantanhede Hospital has developed several strategies for Anxiety, Depression and Burnout Syndrome prevention and minimization, carrying out periodically an assessment of the health professional’s psychosocial risk. In this sense, the hospital has developed several initiatives, such as concerts, commemorative activities, more structured interventions such as yoga and mindfulness, clarification sessions on Burnout syndrome and even psychological and/or psychiatric intervention, whenever the need is identified. It is important to point out that, always aiming health professionals’ well-being, the continuity of this study is imperative, so it will be replicated in 2024.
