RESUMO
O crescente interesse pela Síndrome de Burnout tem ocasionado uma ampliação de seu campo de estudo. As primeiras investigações, centradas em profissionais de ajuda, conduziram pesquisadores a outros âmbitos profissionais, e, mais recentemente, têm surgido estudos também com estudantes. Burnout, nesta população, é constituído de três dimensões: Exaustão Emocional; Descrença e Baixa Eficácia Profissional. A investigação buscou identificar as variáveis associadas à Síndrome de Burnout em uma amostra de 239 estudantes de Psicologia de uma universidade particular. Os instrumentos utilizados foram um Questionário para identificação de variáveis demográficas, acadêmicas e profissionais e o MBI-SS (Maslach Burnout Inventory - Student Survey). A aplicação dos instrumentos foi realizada em salas de aulas previamente sorteadas. A análise dos dados foi realizada pela correlação de Pearson. Resultados revelam que as estratégias como coping ativo, planejamento, coping moderado e reinterpretação positiva associam-se de forma negativa à Síndrome de Burnout e as estratégias de foco na emoção, comportamento descomprometido, negação, desengajamento mental e uso de substâncias demonstram associação positiva, ou seja, elevam as dimensões da síndrome. Intervenções voltadas para o desenvolvimento de estratégias que reduzem burnout já no processo de formação são sugeridas.
The growing interest in the Burnout syndrome has caused an expansion of this field of study. Initial investigations, focusing on help professionals lead investigators to other professional fields and, more recently, studies have also investigated students. Burnout, in this population, consists of three dimensions: Emotional Exhaustion; Disbelieve, and Low Professional Effectiveness. The research aimed to identify the variables associated with the Burnout syndrome in a sample of 239 Psychology students of a private university. Instruments were used a questionnaire to identify demographic, academic and professional variables and the MBI-SS (Maslach Burnout Inventory - Student Survey). Data was collected in classrooms previously drawn. Data analysis was conducted by the Pearson correlation. Results show that the coping strategies as active coping, planning, moderate coping and positive reinterpretation are negatively related to Burnout Syndrome and the strategies that focus on emotion, uncompromised behavior, denial, mental disengagement and use of substances showed positive association, in other words, raise the size of the syndrome. Interventions aimed at developing strategies that reduce burnout already in the training process are suggested.
