El Síndrome de Burnout constituye uno de los daños laborales de carácter psicosocial más importantes en la sociedad actual. El ritmo de vida, la transformación de la estructura económica, las exigencias en el trabajo y los costos que este síndrome supone para las personas y las organizaciones, han despertado el interés en conocer y tomar medidas para prevenirlo. En el caso de la odontología, parece ser que son los profesionales de la salud con mayor prevalencia de este síndrome. Para ello, una detección temprana del problema puede ayudar a que no se vea afectada su salud y su vida familiar y laboral. / Burnout syndrome is one of the most important psychosocial work injuries in today's society. The pace of life, the transformation of the economic structure, the demands at work and the costs that this syndrome poses for people and organizations have raised interest in learning and take steps to prevent it. In the case of dentistry, it seems that are health professionals with higher prevalence of this syndrome. To do this, an early problem detection can help not affected their health and family life and work.

Burnout syndrome is increasingly affecting more people in Westerncountries. The question of treatment is important. In this study, we recruitedand investigated 27 burnout patients (16 women, 9 men) and 20 healthycontrols (8 men and 12 women) before and after an intervention. Theintervention consisted of a combination of both cognitive therapy, cognitivebehavioral therapy, individual counseling, and a form of mindfulness grouptherapy (centered around own body awareness) to see whether the treatmenthad an effect on cognitive functions possibly affected by burnout and onsubjective well-being. A battery of neuropsychological tests andquestionnaires were administered to all participants, once before treatment,and once after. All test scores were z transformed and reduced to compositevariables, measuring executive function, verbal memory function andpsychomotor function. No significant interaction effects between group andtest occasions were found. Treatment does not appear to influence cognitivefunctions affected in burnout. However, reports of subjective well-being asmeasured by questionnaires improved after treatment.

The author explores the issue of burnout syndrome and its prevention in pedagogical professions. The main objective is to find out what precautions are used by pedagogical staff to protect themselves against the development of this syndrome. The presented work consists of two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, stress is defined as the main factor and its effect on human health is described. The characteristics of the burnout syndrome, which includes selected etiopathogenetic and protective factors, follow. The practical part of the diploma thesis surveys the percentage of incidence of burnout syndrome in the target group. It also examines the behavior of respondents in the field of burnout prevention. The survey was performed out by using a quantitative research method - a questionnaire. The results proved that in the area of prevention the most important aspect for the teaching staff is social support and affiliate relationships at the workplace. These factors help them to cope with the higher workload that is typical for the so-called helping profession. The analysis also revealed that burnout syndrome occurred in nearly one third of the respondents and it correlated with the level of perceived prestige of the teaching profession. At present, burnout syndrome is a...

Entretanto, ao falar em crise da educação leva-se em consideração principalmente à remuneração baixa dos profissionais, esquecendo-se de outras questões tão ou mais importantes como, por exemplo, a sobrecarga desses profissionais que acumulam papéis na prática diária e a falta de reconhecimento profissional pela sociedade. Além disso, existe ainda o relacionamento muitas vezes conflituoso com alunos, pais e direção das escolas, a competição entre colegas por melhores horários, melhores turmas, entre outros fatores. Todas essas são condições que permeiam o quotidiano dos professores, levando-os a desempenhar suas funções cada vez menos motivados e menos comprometidos e tornando-os mais suscetíveis a desenvolver a Síndrome de Burnout. Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar manifestações sugestivas da Síndrome de Burnout em professores do ensino fundamental séries finais da cidade do Rio Grande/RS. Seu desenvolvimento foi orientado pela teoria bio-ecológica de Urie Bronfenbrenner, na qual os processos que ocorrem no dia a dia das pessoas, nos mais diferentes contextos, são vistos como fundamentais para o desenvolvimento, no caso deste estudo, da Síndrome de Burnout. Metodologia: é um estudo exploratório descritivo, qualitativo, cujos dados foram coletados entre julho e agosto de 2006, através de entrevistas semi estruturadas, realizadas com quinze professores que desempenham suas atividades em três escolas municipais da cidade de Rio Grande/RS. Todas as entrevistas foram gravadas com o consentimento dos participantes e posteriormente transcritas na íntegra. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Os resultados foram agrupados em três categorias, as quais representam as três dimensões da Síndrome de Burnout referidas pela literatura: exaustão emocional, despersonalização e baixa realização profissional. Essas categorias englobam alguns dos fatores que os professores participantes deste estudo referem como determinantes das manifestações que consideram como sugestivas de burnout, tais como o relacionamento difícil com alunos em decorrência da falta de limites destes, a falta de reconhecimento profissional por parte dos alunos, pais e sociedade, a excessiva jornada de trabalho, entre outros. Conclusões. O estudo revela manifestação sugestiva da Síndrome de Burnout entre os professores entrevistados e, principalmente, como estes sintomas se manifestam de acordo com as características individuais de cada professor. Estes resultados são discutidos no contexto de trabalho dos professores onde este estudo foi realizado. / It is clear that education is going through a broad crisis nowadays. However, whenever a crisis in education is mentioned, we usually refer to the low pay of the professionals, rather than other issues which are as important, or more important, than it. This is the case of some aspects analyzed in this study, such as teachers who are overworked because they perform many roles in their daily practice, the present education which imposed no limits on the students and makes it harder to learn, and the lack of recognition in the society these days. Besides, teachers may also have a conflicting relationship with students, parents, and the school principal/board. Another factor is the competition between students for a better schedule and groups. These are conditions which permeate the teachers’ routine and make them carry out their task with less motivation and less commitment; thus, they become more susceptible to suffer from Burnout Syndrome. This study aims at identifying manifestations which indicate that elementary school teachers in Rio Grande, RS have got Burnout Syndrome. It was carried out with Urie Bronfenbrenner’s PPCT model: people’s everyday processes, in all contexts, are considered fundamental to know if Burnout Syndrome is affecting a professional. Regarding methodology, this is an exploratory and descriptive study which was carried out in July and August 2006, in some selected schools in Rio Grande, RS. Fifteen teachers took part in this study; data were collected in recorded interviews. They were transcribed afterwards; content analysis was applied to read the data. Results were grouped according to three categories which represent the dimensions of Burnout Syndrome mentioned in the literature: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low professional accomplishment. These categories comprise some of the factors that lead to Burnout Syndrome, according to the teachers. These factors include the lack of limits in students’ education, the lack of recognition for their work, and overwork. This study demonstrates that the symptoms suggest that the teachers who were interviewed have got Burnout Syndrome and shows that these symptoms reflect the teachers’ individual characteristics. These results have been discussed in the context of the teachers’ workplace, where this study was carried out. / Actualmente es notorio que la educación atraviesa una crisis generalizada. Entretanto, al hablar en crisis de la educación se lleva en consideración principalmente la baja remuneración de los profesionales olvidandose de otras questiones tanto o más importantes comprobada en este estudio como por ejemplo la sobrecarga de estos mismos profesionales que acumulan papeles en su práctica diaria, a actual educación de los alunos sin límites, que dificulta el proceso de aprendizaje, la falta de reconocimiento profesional por la sociedad actual. A parte de esto, existe todavía el relacionamiento, muchas vezes conflictivo con los alumnos, padres y direción de las escuelas, la competición entre colegas por mejores horarios, mejores grupos de alumnos, entre otros factores. Todas estas son condiciones que permean el cotidiano de los profesores, llevandolos a desempeñar sus funciones cada vez menos motivados y menos comprometidos con su oficio, dejándolos más suceptibles de desarrollar la Sindrome de Burnout.

EICHLEROVÁ, J. Factors affecting vigor and burnout syndrom of volunteers in the organization LATA. Prague: Charles university in Prague, fakulty of arts, 2017. 101 s. Dissertation. Burnout syndrome is a condition of emotional exhaustion. Its prevention is very essential for both overall health and effective performance at work. The theoretical part is primarily divided into two parts. In the first I deal with burnout syndrome - its definition, causes, symptoms, stages, risk factors, protective factors and neutral factors and prevention of this phenomenon. The following section is devoted to opposites of burnout syndrome most of which deal with Vigor (enthusiasm) according to Shirom. The next two chapters are explaining research methods to measure burnout and enthusiasm with which I operate in the empirical part of the work. The research methods I use are MBI and SMVM questionnaires. Then I describe work of the LATA organization which became the source of my research. I worked only with volunteers of this organization where I also previously worked as a volunteer. Empirical part then examines the burnout syndrome rate and enthusiasm rate of volunteers from the organization LATA. Data from the questionnaires allow us to select a group of ten volunteers, which have been shown the highest rate of...
