Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Na organização do trabalho hospitalar há vários determinantes que acarretam no desgaste psicofísico do trabalhador de enfermagem, mesmo com o discurso de que gostam da profissão e se sentem realizados em cuidar de pessoas enfermas, especialmente, no cuidado de clientes adoecidos com o HIV/Aids. A Psicodinâmica do Trabalho é uma ciência que possibilita analisar a configuração da organização laboral, a qual comprovadamente incide na dimensão subjetiva do trabalhador, identificando o sofrimento psíquico, o que potencializa o desenvolvimento de doenças mentais, entre elas a Síndrome de Burnout. Nesta perspectiva, o objeto deste estudo trata da organização do trabalho na Unidade de Doença Infecto-Contagiosa, espaço de cuidado de clientes com HIV/Aids e a ocorrência de Burnout entre os trabalhadores de enfermagem que atuam neste espaço laboral. A fim de apreender o objeto traçaram-se três objetivos: a) identificar a percepção dos trabalhadores acerca das características do trabalho de enfermagem no contexto da Unidade de Doença Infecto-Contagiosa, local de assistência ao cliente portador do HIV/Aids; b) descrever as repercussões no processo saúde-doença dos trabalhadores de enfermagem decorrente da assistência ao cliente com HIV/AIDS; e c) analisar as repercussões do processo saúde-doença dos trabalhadores de enfermagem com vistas à identificação de situações do aparecimento da Síndrome de Burnout. Para a realização desta pesquisa, optou-se pela abordagem qualitativa, de caráter descritivo e exploratório. Os dados foram obtidos nos meses de maio a agosto de 2010, utilizando as seguintes fontes de coleta de informações: a entrevista semi-estruturada e o formulário Maslach Burnout Inventory. Optou-se por analisar as informações através do Método de Análise Temática de Conteúdo. Os resultados indicaram que o perfil do profissional de enfermagem era composto por trabalhadores do sexo feminino, que estavam na faixa etária entre 44 e 54 anos de idade, na grande maioria técnicos de enfermagem com tempo médio de 2 a 10 anos de trabalho com clientes HIV/Aids. Verificou-se também que havia discrepâncias marcantes entre o trabalho prescrito e o real, o que acarretava sofrimento para o profissional de enfermagem. Constatou-se também que o sofrimento psíquico resultava da vivência cotidiana do processo de morte/morrer do cliente com HIV/Aids, pelo profissional de enfermagem. Além disso, este sofrimento era determinado também pela precarização das relações e das condições de trabalho. Concluiu-se que havia vários trabalhadores com fortes indícios de ocorrência de Burnout, tanto porque a organização do trabalho se configurava como incoerente e pouco racional como pelas características do processo de cuidar do cliente com HIV/Aids. Recomendam-se medidas que promovam a saúde dos trabalhadores de enfermagem e previnam os agravos em seus processos saúde-doença, tais como: a diminuição da carga emocional de trabalho, grupos de reflexão, ginástica laboral, entre outras. É preciso haver conscientização dos gestores, vontade política e estímulo da organização laboral para que os trabalhadores participem. / In the organization of hospital work for several determinants that may cause the wear of psychophysical nursing worker, even with the speech that they like the profession and feel smart in taking care of sick people, especially in the care of ill clients with HIV / AIDS.

This dissertation is based on a theoretical and empirical synthesis. It offers a theoretical discussion of the burnout syndrome and its influences on surroundings, while the empirical part is performed through questionnaire research, where 69 respondents took part mainly from the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. The primary aim of this investigation is to illuminate attitudes of students regarding their readiness to face the burnout syndrome in school conditions and to collect information in regards to their reaction to this situation. The evaluated data, gained through the use of open questions, is represented in the charts. It investigates the advantages and disadvantages that the students feel before the start of their career and which can affect their career growth; or their way to failure. It is apparent from the results that the theoretical knowledge of the problematic issues are on a very good level. Most students believe, that they are well aware of what the burnout syndrome is about and that in case of it happening, they would know how to deal with it and where to look for help.

Basic theoretical background: The background of elaboration of this thesis was the fact that the perception of the occupation of a nurse has also changed remarkably with the requirements of the developing society. The present labour market mainly demands erudite, qualified general nurses that are able to work flexibly and independently under various conditions, to educate themselves independently, and to absorb new experience. The introduction of the theoretical part deals with more detailed identification of nurses' work and focuses on the individual attributes affecting nurses' work, like education, job contents and competences. One of the chapters also focuses on the personality traits necessary for the job of a nurse and on the organisation of work at internal medicine departments. The second part of the theoretical work then analyses the main determinants of the work. The aims of the thesis, questions and hypotheses: Three aims were set to meet the main purpose of the thesis. Aim 1: To identify the main determinants of the work of general nurses at internal wards. Aim 2: To map satisfaction among nurses from internal wards of the South Bohemia Region. Aim 3: To map the burnout syndrome among nurses from internal wards of the South Bohemia Region. Four research questions were asked in the qualitative research part to achieve the aims. RQ 1: What are the work determinants most often mentioned by the nurses? RQ 2: Are nurses satisfied with their work conditions? RQ 3: What motivating elements have the nurses experienced during their practice? RQ 4: How are nurses informed of the burnout syndrome phenomenon? Five hypotheses were consequently set for the quantitative research. H1: Nurses with tertiary education identify poor organization structure as the most important determinant of their work more than those without tertiary education. H2: Nurses with tertiary education perceive lifelong education as a motivating element for improvement of nursing care quality more than those without tertiary education. H3: Nurses with 10-year or shorter experience in internal medicine express the feeling of satisfaction with their work more than nurses with longer than 10-year experience in internal fields. H4: Nurses with 10-year or shorter experience in internal medicine express satisfaction with their working conditions more than nurses with longer than 10-year experience in internal fields. H5: Nurses with longer than 10-year experience have more experience with the burnout syndrome occurrence than nurses with 10-year or shorter experience. Methodology: Both the qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques were used in this thesis. The results for the first phase of the empiric research were obtained by means of semi-structured interviews led with twelve general nurses working at internal medicine specialized departments of four hospitals of the South Bohemia Region (České Budějovice, Tábor, Prachatice, Jindřichův Hradec). The results of the research were consequently analysed and categorized. The second part of the empiric research contains the results of the quantitative research based on data obtained by an anonymous questionnaire designed for general nurses working at internal medicine specialized departments of hospitals of the South Bohemia Region (České Budějovice, Tábor, Prachatice, Jindřichův Hradec, Písek, Strakonice, Český Krumlov). The obtained data were then classified, described and processed first by descriptive statistics into graphs by means of Microsoft Office Excel 2010 and statistical evaluation of the hypotheses was consequently performed. The hypotheses were tested by the chi-square test in a contingency table. The chosen significance level was 5 %.

This thesis deals with The International Code of Ethics of Social Work. The first part focuses on the origins, history, updates and criticism of ethical codes.
