ABSTRACT
Abstract Background and objective: The current jobs are insufficient to determine the causative agent, as well as to identify characteristic high risk profiles for BS, leaving a clear need for more studies to this end. This study objective was to evaluate the correlation between weekly workload and BS dimensions. Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study performed with 43 anesthesiologists from Maceió-AL, with the application of Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) forms. Pearson's correlation coefficient r was used for the three dimensions and a 95% confidence interval for the prevalence of burnout syndrome and high scores in all three dimensions. Results: Among the studied physicians, 51.16% were male and the average age was 49.82 ± 12.05 years. For physicians who have been diagnosed with BS through the MBI, the average weekly working time 69.27 ± 22.39 h. The high level of frequency in at least one of the three dimensions was found in 67.44% of physicians, with this percentage being considered diagnostic for burnout syndrome in this population. Conclusion: This study showed no correlation between the weekly working time and the BS dimensions in this population.
Resumo Justificativa e objetivo: Os trabalhos atuais são insuficientes para determinar o agente causal, assim como identificar perfis característicos de alto risco para síndrome de burnout (SB), e deixam evidente a necessidade de mais pesquisas com esse objetivo. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a correlação entre a carga semanal de trabalho com as dimensões da SB. Métodos: Estudo observacional descritivo e transversal feito com 43 médicos anestesiologistas de Maceió-AL, por meio da aplicação de formulários com o Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Foi usado o teste de correlação R de Pearson para as três dimensões e um intervalo de confiança de 95% para a prevalência da síndrome de burnout e para escores altos nas três dimensões. Resultados: Entre os médicos estudados, 51,16% pertenciam ao gênero masculino com média de 49,82 ± 12,05 anos. Para os médicos que por meio do MBI foram diagnosticados com SB, a média de carga horária semanal de trabalho foi de 69,27 ± 22,39 horas. A frequência de alto nível em pelo menos uma das três dimensões foi encontrada em 67,44% dos médicos, foi considerada essa a porcentagem de diagnóstico para a síndrome de burnout na população estudada. Conclusão: O presente estudo demonstra não haver correlação entre a carga horária semanal de trabalho com as dimensões da SB na população estudada.

OBJECTIVE:: to determine the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome (BS) for surgeons working in referral hospital for trauma in Maceio and to evaluate the possible correlation between BS and weekly workload. METHODS:: cross-sectional study with 43 on-call surgeons at Professor Osvaldo Brandão Vilela General State Hospital, Maceió, between July and December, 2015. A self-administered form was used to evaluate BS through the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and socio-demographic characteristics among participants. Spearman's S test was used to compare BS and weekly workload. Significant level was 5%. RESULTS:: among the surgeons studied, 95.35% were male and the mean age was 43.9 ± 8.95 years. The mean weekly workload on call in trauma was 33.90 ± 16.82 hours. The frequency of high scores in at least one of the three dimensions of MBI was 46.5%. Professional achievement was correlated with weekly workload (P = 0.020). CONCLUSION:: the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome among on-call surgeons in referral hospital for trauma was 46.5%. In this sample there was correlation between weekly workload and the Burnout Syndrome. OBJETIVO:: determinar a prevalência da Síndrome de Burnout (SB) em médicos cirurgiões que trabalham em hospital de referência para o trauma em Maceió e avaliar a possível correlação entre SB e a carga horária semanal de trabalho. MÉTODOS:: estudo transversal com 43 cirurgiões de plantão do Hospital Geral do Estado Professor Osvaldo Brandão Vilela, Maceió, entre julho e dezembro de 2015. Um formulário autoadministrado foi utilizado para avaliar SB por meio do Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) e as características sociodemográficas entre os participantes. Foi utilizado o teste de Spearman S para comparar SB e carga horária semanal. O nível de significância foi 5%. RESULTADOS:: entre os cirurgiões estudados, 95,35% eram do sexo masculino e a média de idade foi 43,9±8,95 anos. A média da carga horária semanal de plantão no trauma foi 33,90±16,82 horas. A frequência de pontuações elevadas em pelo menos uma das três dimensões do MBI foi 46,5%. Realização profissional foi correlacionada com a carga de trabalho semanal (P=0,020). CONCLUSÃO:: a prevalência da Síndrome de Burnout entre cirurgiões plantonistas em hospital de referência para o trauma foi 46,5%. Nesta amostra houve correlação entre a carga horária semanal de trabalho e a Síndrome de Burnout.
