Burnout among nursing professionals that work in a psychiatric complex

Abstract

Aim: To investigate burnout in nursing professionals working in a Psychiatric Complex. Method: exploratory, quantitative research conducted with 42 nursing professionals. For the collection, we used an instrument consisting of sociodemographic and professional data, and the Cuestionario para la Evaluación del Síndrome de Quemarse por el Trabajo – CESQT. Results: when considering the percentile, 17 (40.5%) nursing professionals had very low levels suggestive of burnout. Working time in the institution was associated with psychic burnout (p = 0.03). Conclusion: on average, the respondents did not show values suggestive of burnout, but the length of action was associated with the dimensions of the injury. It is noteworthy that preventive measures should be performed to eliminate or reduce the possible chances of emergence of the disease
