The theoretical part deals with key issues of burnout - a definition, phase of syndrome, diagnostic classification, prevention, and mainly deals with the description of the methods by which the level of burnout is detected. Now probably the most common diagnostic tools are the MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) and its derivatives (eg. MBI-General Survey), but there are many other methods, such as developed by Israeli and European psychologists (BoTeLis, OLBI, CBI, MBS, etc.). The goal is to assemble a relatively complete overview of these diagnostic tools.In the empirical part, is to verify the psychometric properties of Czech version of the selected methods on a set of population, describe and analyze their characteristics.

Burnout - or chronic occupational stress - has been the preferred subject of research by many of those interested in questions pertaining to working class health. The goal was to identify, describe and comprehend these indicators of Burnout. Twenty-seven health workers, with at least an undergraduate education, participated as subjects (ten doctors, seven nurses, five medical residents, a social worker, a musical-therapist, a nutritionist, an educator and a psychologist). The instruments used were: the brief versions of the Burnout Questionnaire and the Resistance to Burnout Personality Questionnaire, complemented by a semi-structured interview. The quantitative analysis showed that the workers could not yet be characterized as having Burnout but had average scores in Burnout Processes. That is, they were already affected by factors that precede Burnout Syndrome. On the organizational factors the working teams showed low scores on the Task and Organization sub-scales. On the Tedium sub-scale nurses and resident doctors showed high scores, which indicate oncoming emotional exhaustion. On personality scores the doctors and other professionals showed high scores on Implication. In terms of Control both the residents and the other professionals showed low scores. Doctors and resident doctors showed high scores on Challenge. The personality questionnaire showed that only the doctors had high vulnerability to Burnout. Qualitative data showed that these professionals are being affected by the organizational variable, with psychosocial and physical disorders. Emotional exhaustion is represented by 57 mentions in the discourse, but professional satisfaction level was high. The most commonly cited stressors were: physical and psychological stressors, unsatisfactory working conditions, unsatisfactory work relations and excessive working hours. It is important to mention the importance of working alongside health institutions for the prevention of Burnout since the damages are not only for the individual, but for the group and organization as well. Finally, there is a need for continuous research on Burnout with professionals who work in other clinics related to the studied hospital. / Este estudo trata da investigação da Síndrome de Burnout em profissionais que atuam em contexto hospitalar pediátrico. O Burnout ou estresse crônico ocupacional - tem sido um tema de interesse de diversos pesquisadores que buscam compreender questões relativas à saúde do trabalhador. Desta forma, objetivou-se identificar, descrever e compreender indicadores de Burnout entre profissionais de saúde de uma pediatria de um hospital universitário público. Foram utilizados os Questionários Breve de Burnout (CBB) e de Personalidade Resistente ao Burnout (CPR), além de uma entrevista semi-estruturada. Participaram da pesquisa 27 profissionais com escolaridade mínima de graduação, que atuam na Pediatria do HCUFG (10 médicos; 7 enfermeiras; 5 multiprofissionais, ou sejam, Assistente Social, Musicoterapeuta, Nutricionista, Pedagoga e Psicóloga; e, 5 Médicas Residentes). A análise quantitativa revelou que os profissionais ainda não estão em Burnout, mas têm escores médio em Processos de Burnout, ou seja, já são afetados por fatores que precedem a Síndrome de Burnout. Nos fatores organizacionais, as equipes tiveram escores baixo nas subescalas de Tarefa e de Organização. Na subescala Tédio, Enfermeiras e Médicas Residentes cotaram escores alto, que indicam estarem caminhando para a Exaustão Emocional. A análise do CPR mostrou Médicos e Equipe Multiprofissional com escore alto em Implicação. Em relação ao Controle, Equipe Multiprofissional e Residentes tiveram escores baixo, e sobre Desafio, Médicos e Médicos-Residentes cotaram escores alto. O CPR avaliou que apenas os Médicos mantém vulnerabilidade alta com relação ao Burnout. A análise qualitativa demonstrou que os profissionais estão sendo afetados pela variável organizacional, trazendo transtornos físicos e psicosociais. A Exaustão Emocional é representada por 57 citações (menções discursivas), mas o nível de satisfação profissional também é alto. Os fatores mais citados pelos profissionais como estressores e produtores de desgastes profissionais são: estressores físicos e psicológicos, condição de trabalho insatisfatória, relações de trabalho insatisfatórias e sobrecarga de trabalho e/ou horários. Ressalta-se a importância de trabalhar junto à instituição estabelecendo ações preventivas à Síndrome de Burnout, vez que, instalados e diagnosticados, os prejuízos são de ordem individual, coletiva e organizacional. Considera-se, finalmente, a necessidade da continuidade de pesquisas, relativas ao Burnout, com profissionais que trabalham em outras clínicas do HC/UFG.

Worked with accidental sample, although it was decided the professional proportions, with the objective of reproducing the population characteristics. In the schools the sample was planned with the teachers. In the hospitals the sample was planned with doctors, nurses and nurse assistants, nutritionists, psychologists, dentists and social assistants.

We used semi-structured interviews, based in the indicators, with the organizations key persons, directors, coordinators, and people involved in the human resources department, for research about the organizational health. Only among the hospitals were found significant statistics differences between the scores of factors and the incidence of burnout. Besides that, it was observed as well that it is possible to establish a connection between the organizational health and the syndrome of burnout, this research main objective / Estudamos sobre a sa?de organizacional e a s?ndrome de burnout em profissionais de educa??o e sa?de, objetivando estabelecer uma rela??o entre esses dois construtos te?ricos.

This diploma thesis deals with the topic of burnout syndrome and its impact on Church related community workers, in order to determine how much are these workers endangered, how to take care of these workers and whether their employers are familiar with the risks of burnout syndrome. The first chapters are devoted to the theoretical definition of burnout syndrome in the overall view on this issue, but also takes a closer look on Church related community workers in the helping profession in the Church. I'm trying to capture a fully describe the motivation for helping, factors leading to burnout syndrome, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. The final chapter and the whole practical part is devoted to the history and characteristics of the studied groups, which form the priests of the three largest churches in our country: Roman Catholic, Evangelical and Czechoslovak Hussite Church. This part is a quantitative research. To illustrate the work I decided to include three case studies that document the real life stories of burnout syndrome at different stages.
