For the author, this is a process in which everyday instances of life come to be claimed by the discourse of medicine, generally adopting diagnostic terms. Burnout syndrome is used as the conceptual operator due to the emergence of studies that associate this syndrome with the educational context. In the bibliographic review the researches on the topic of medicalization and Burnout Syndrome in the teaching category are highlighted. There is no consensus in the literature regarding the concept of medicalization, so that Conrad's perspective is privileged to highlight the sociocultural role. The context of the teaching sickness is problematized through works that discuss the historical changes occurred in the Brazilian educational scene, besides addressing the social and political influences on the work. Particular emphasis is given to the issue of neoliberalism and how it has contributed to new forms of relationship in the world of work. From the foucaultian perspective, the manifestation of Burnout is analyzed with the constituency of the teacher in the network of power relations, contextualizing its environment, marked by the social, political, economic and historical events of contemporary western society. Finally, the phenomenon of teaching sickness is taken as an analyzer of the present modes of subjectivation, praising the possibility of this being taken as resistance. / Este trabalho busca discutir o tema do adoecimento docente ? luz da defini??o de medicaliza??o da vida proposta por Conrad (1992; 2007).

The diploma thesis deals with the topic of so-called burnout syndrome. The work directly focuses on the knowledge of the students of the Faculty of Science on the issue of he burnout syndrome. The theoretical part provides an overview of the burnout syndrome and its symptoms, phases, and development. It also deals with disease prevention and a syndrome treatment. The practical part consists of quantitative research which tries to get through the issue of the burnout syndrome and to investigate the awareness of students of the Faculty of Education in the fields of teacher training for kindergartens, primary school teachers and teachers for the second level of primary school and secondary school teachers about the topic.

Burnout among child welfare social workers negatively affects social workers and the social welfare system. The purpose of this action research study was to explore what child welfare social workers do to alleviate burnout. The practice-focused research questions for this study center on two elements: (a) the experiences of burnout among child welfare social workers employed by the Department of Family and Children services in the southeastern region of the United States and (b) the social work practices used to alleviate burnout. The conceptual framework for this study was the Maslach theory on burnout. Action research study procedures were used to facilitate analysis of the research problem. Data were collected using semistructured questions administered to 6 child welfare social workers in a focus group. The selection criteria for the child welfare social workers were social workers who work for the department of children and family services for at least 6 months. The data were transcribed verbatim from an audio recording. Codes were assigned to the data and reliability checks were conducted. The themes that emerged from analysis of the data included workload, lack of influence on the job, lack of rewards on the job, negative social interaction, and value differences in individuals and their jobs. The findings of this study might contribute to positive social change by enhancing awareness regarding burnout in child welfare social workers and providing an opportunity for child welfare social workers and child welfare agencies to learn how to address causes of burnout in child welfare social workers in the southeastern United States.

One of the most common sources of stress is one's job and the struggle to balance the demands of one's job with those of one's family and/or romantic relationship. Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to burnout, and it can affect various aspects of one's life and one's emotional and cognitive well-being. Firefighters, police officers, and corrections officers are susceptible to burnout. If their well-being is compromised, it can impact their job performance, which can negatively impact society. The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between work-family conflict (time-based, strain-based, behavior-based), job burnout (exhaustion, depersonalization, accomplishment), and couple burnout in high-stress occupations, using the work-family conflict model. Using standard multiple regressions, strain-based work-family conflict and behavior-based work-family conflict were significant predictors of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and couple burnout. Work-family conflict scores predicted levels of personal accomplishment. In addition, emotional exhaustion was a significant predictor of couple burnout. This study provided insight into the aspects of work-family conflict and job burnout and how they predict couple burnout. Future research may include females, spouses, and other variables that may also predict burnout. Increasing education on which aspects of work-family conflict and job burnout predict couple burnout can help to increase awareness and well-being for individuals working in high-stress occupations. It can also lead to social change by encouraging changes in hiring, training, and support services, which can increase occupational retainment and allow employees to deliver the highest level of service to the populations in which they serve.

Difficulties experienced at work can cause feelings of burnout that become prolonged and intensified without acts of self-care. The intense nature of mental health workers' jobs may make them, more vulnerable to burnout than other professionals. Because mental health professionals' mental and emotional wellness can significantly affect their work, adequate self-care is critical to both their well-being and that of their clients. Previous researchers have investigated the self-care behaviors of mental health professionals, but little was known about how gender affected the use of these behaviors in burnout prevention among mental health professionals. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the relationship between self-care behaviors and burnout among a sample of 325 mental health professionals working in New York. Differences in the ways male and female mental health professionals practiced self-care behaviors were also investigated. Burnout and gender role theories were used as the theoretical framework. Study instruments included the MBI-HSS and the Brief COPE. Multiple regression analysis and independent sample t tests were employed to analyze survey data. Analysis revealed levels of self-care behaviors were significantly predictive of depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and reduced personal accomplishment. Gender differences in self-care behaviors were indicated for substance use, self-blame, depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and reduced personal accomplishment. Since burnout is a significant problem for many mental health professionals, understanding how self-care affects burnout is critical to promoting behavioral changes among these professionals. Self-care among mental health professionals may improve their professional and personal lives.

No dia a dia acadêmico é comum presenciarmos ou vivermos situações de estresse constantes. Estudos indicam que, diante das diversas pressões e dificuldades de adaptação acadêmica, pessoais, relacionais e institucionais, cada vez mais pós-graduandos têm adoecido por conta de estresse constante, desenvolvendo transtornos ansiosos-depressivos e sintomas relacionados. Consideramos que a qualidade de vida, no conceito proposto pela OMS, composta pelos domínios físico, psicológico, das relações sociais e do meio ambiente, em seu sentido amplo, remete aos fatores de adaptação acadêmica, e que maior qualidade de vida incide em mais recursos adaptativos, ou recursos de coping, e melhor saúde mental. Sendo assim, pesquisas exploratórias são essenciais para conseguintes ações preventivas e promotoras de saúde, assim como permitir maior clareza de ações e novas possibilidades de pesquisa. O objetivo desta pesquisa é: Avaliar o nível de sintomas de depressão, ansiedade, estresse e a qualidade de vida de estudantes de pós-graduação stricto sensu da Universidade de São Paulo, campus Cidade Universitária, e verificar o nível de correlação entre essas variáveis\". Foi utilizada a teoria de estresse de Selye (1956) e suas atualizações de Lazarus e Folkman (1984) e Lipp (2003), por meio do paradigma da psicologia da saúde, além de levantamento do contexto político e social e estudos sobre o tema. A amostra foi composta por 200 pós-graduandos de mestrado acadêmico e doutorado de diversas unidades da USP Cidade Universitária, em amostra por conveniência. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a escala de qualidade de vida World Health Organization Quality of Life abreviado (WHOQOL-bref) e Escala de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress (EADS-21), além de questionário sociodemográfico. Por meio de método quantitativo, apresentamos estatísticas descritivas da amostra e em seguida realizamos correlação r de Pearson entre qualidade de vida, ansiedade, estresse e depressão, além de análises de variância (ANOVA) ou teste t-student para verificar diferenças significativas entre as segmentações da amostra. Foram verificadas correlações negativas significativas em todos os níveis, com maior força para o domínio físico e psicológico. As médias dos níveis de sintomas estiveram em grau leve, no entanto de 43,5% a 51% da amostra, a depender do sintoma, apresentaram algum nível sintomático de leve a muito severo, sendo 14,5% para depressão, 17,5% para ansiedade e 20,5% para estresse entre níveis severo e muito severo. Os domínios de qualidade de vida variaram em suas médias de 13,17 a 14,26, estando mais afetado o domínio do meio ambiente. Condições mais propensas a apresentarem diferenças significativas em suas médias foram gênero, área de concentração, nacionalidade, região de origem, tipo de moradia, faixa salarial, nível de saúde, acesso à serviços de saúde e o tipo desse acesso, qualidade do suporte universitário, satisfação com perspectivas de carreira e qualidade da relação com o orientador. Consideramos necessárias intervenções transdisciplinares entre os diversos atores e setores da universidade, com objetivo de criar mais recursos de coping a facilitar a adaptação acadêmica em maneira preventiva, mas também mobilização com foco social, cultural e político na melhoria das condições de se fazer pesquisa, de maneira promotora de saúde / In everyday academic life it is common to witness or live constant stress situations. Studies indicate that, given the different pressures and difficulties of academic personal, relational and institutional adaptation, more and more graduate students have become ill because of constant stress, developing anxiety-depressive disorders and other related symptoms. We consider that the quality of life, in the concept proposed by WHO, composed by physical, psychological, social relationships and environment domains, in a broad sense, refer to factors of academic adaption, and that higher quality of life affects in more adaptative resources, or coping resources, and better mental health. Therefore, exploratory researches are essential for achieving preventive and promotional health actions. This study aims to evaluate the level of depression, anxiety, stress and quality of live levels of graduate students of University of São Paulo, University City campus, and verify the correlation level of this variables. Selye\'s theory of stress (1956), and its updates of Lazarus and Folkman (1984) and Lipp (2003), were used, through the paradigm of health psychology, besides the political and social context and other studies about the subject. The sample was composed of 200 graduate students of academic master\'s and doctorate of several units of USP, in a convenience sample. Were used the quality of life scale WHOQOL-bref, the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and sociodemographic survey. Through quantitative method, we presented the sample descriptive statistics, followed by Pearson correlation between quality of life, anxiety, stress and depression, and analysis of variance or t-student test to verify significant differences between de samples segmentation. Was verified significant negative correlations in all levels, with higher strength for physical and psychological domain. The mean symptom levels were in a mild degree, however, from 43.5% to 51% of the sample, depending on the symptom, presented some symptomatic level from mild to very severe, being 14,5% for depression, 17,5% for anxiety and 20,5% for stress between severe and very severe levels. The quality of life domains varied in their averages from 13,17 to 14,26 being the environment domain more affected. Conditions that were more likely to present significant differences in their averages were gender, concentration area, nationality, region of origin, type of habitation, salary range, health level, access to health services and type of access, quality of university support, career prospects and quality of the relationship with supervisor. We consider necessary transdisciplinary interventions between the universitys many actors and sectors, aiming to create more coping resources to facilitate academic adaption in a preventive way, but also mobilization with social, cultural and political focus on the improvement of research conditions, in a health promotive way

Facing this scenario, it is still to be known why it is a common sense in our society that workers hired by the government are submitted to better work conditions and health insurance when compared to private companies’ workers. This study aims to identify and describe the possible relations between the organizational environment and the Burnout in government employees from a federal educational institution.It will also describe the present and dominant organizational environment. The current study has a quantitative nature as well as a deep and exploratory study case. The data presented was obtained by the use of the organizational climate scale (ECO), the Burnout Characterization Scale (ECB) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. All the electronic automatically self- applicable instruments were available for the institution. 201 public agents participated in the study, the average age was 37, predominantly graduated and married. The results revealed that one quarter of the participants rarely experimented burnout; however another quarter is frequently experimenting burnout. The workers noticed an average organization climate, highlighting a good cohesion among the fellow workers coworkers and concluded that the reward is low. Another highlight is the big dispersion between the climate perceptions, which leads to the conclusion that there are still unidentified subclimates in the current investigation, possibly occasioned by a weak force of climate and by the participation of employees from different teaching units, administrated by local managers with relative autonomy. The result of the calculations of correlation revealed that, the less support given by the managers and the institution, cohesion between coworkers and more control/pressure received, more exhausted they feel which leads to a worse relation between the people in contact with the workers and the disappointment at work grows. Physical comfort is less associated with this issue, and control/pressure is both positively and negatively associated with the contact between the workers and the people. Therefore, the hypothesis that there is a link between burnout and organizational climate was confirmed. The results also revealed that workers with burnout noticed a worse climate than workers without burnout, confirming the second hypothesis. These workers also revealed themselves neutral when questioned about support from superiors and physical comfort, do not notice control/pressure, neither reward, however they do realize the cohesion between the coworkers. The result suggests that the workers use this relation to tolerate the indifference and lack of stimulation experienced at work. The results obtained by this study concluded that the organizational climate is weak, and probably influenced by an insufficient organizational culture, explaining the heterogeneity of the perception of the climate lived by the workers. Although there is burnout between a few participants, it should be noted that one quarter of them is currently stricken in this syndrome and it potentially could affect the others. / As condições inadequadas vivenciadas nas organizações afligem não só os trabalhadores da iniciativa privada, pois são igualmente encontradas no segmento estatal, contrariando a expectativa de que o aparato governamental eliminaria as condições insalubres e criaria outras melhores nas quais prevalecesse à promoção de saúde. Diante desse panorama questionou-se porque, uma vez que, pelo menos do ponto de vista da sociedade leiga, esses servidores estão submetidos a condições privilegiadas de trabalho. O presente estudo objetivou identificar e descrever possíveis relações entre o clima organizacional e o burnout em servidores públicos de uma instituição federal de ensino. Objetivou-se ainda descrever o clima organizacional predominante. A pesquisa realizada teve cunho quantitativo, tipo estudo de caso e exploratória. A coleta de dados deu-se por meio das escalas ECO (escala de clima organizacional), ECB (escala de caracterização do burnout) e um questionário sociodemográfico, todos os instrumentos autoaplicáveis eletronicamente disponíveis à instituição. Participaram do estudo 201 servidores públicos federais, com idade média de 37 anos, majoritariamente de nível superior e casados. Os resultados revelaram que cerca de um quarto dos participantes raramente experimentaram burnout, no entanto outra quarta parte deles frequentemente experimentaram altos níveis de burnout, resultado bastante expressivo. Os servidores perceberam clima organizacional mediano, destacando-se a boa coesão entre os colegas de trabalho e a percepção de baixa recompensa. Merece destaque a grande dispersão entre as percepções de clima, o que permite inferir haver subclimas não identificados nesta investigação, possivelmente ocasionados por uma força de clima fraca e pela participação dos servidores de unidades de ensino geograficamente distintas, geridas por gestores locais com relativa autonomia. Os resultados dos cálculos de correlação revelaram que, quanto menos os participantes percebem apoio da chefia e da organização, coesão entre colegas, e mais controle/pressão, mais exaustos se sentem, mais desumanizam as pessoas com quem tratam e mais se decepcionam no trabalho e vice-versa. Conforto físico menor está associado a maior desumanização e a mais decepção no trabalho e vice-versa; e que controle/pressão, relaciona-se positiva e fracamente com desumanização e vice-versa. Desta forma, a hipótese de que existe associação entre burnout e clima organizacional foi confirmada. Os resultados também revelaram que os servidores com burnout, perceberam pior clima organizacional que os seus pares sem burnout, confirmando a segunda hipótese. Esses servidores também se mostraram neutros quanto à percepção de apoio da chefia e conforto físico; não percebem controle pressão, nem recompensa; todavia percebem coesão entre os colegas. Esses resultados sugerem que os participantes têm se apoiado nessas relações para suportar a indiferença e ausência de estímulos experimentados no trabalho. Os resultados obtidos nesse estudo permitiram concluir que o clima organizacional é fraco, provavelmente influenciado por uma cultura organizacional fraca, explicando a heterogeneidade da percepção do clima organizacional pelos servidores. Além disso, embora haja burnout entre poucos participantes, há que se atentar que cerca de um quarto deles, encontra-se acometido desta síndrome e isto poderá contagiar os demais.

This thesis topic is preventing burnout among social workers in Ceske Budejovice. Currently, the burnout syndrome is struck by the large number of field social workers due to demand of social work and solving difficult situations with clients frequently. I have chosen this topic because it is very big problem nowadays. I also wanted to find out whether social field workers from the Czech Budejovice suffer from this phenomenon, and if so, whether they know the prevention. The work consists of practical and theoretical part. The theoretical part involves six main chapters. The first chapter describes the concept of burnout syndrome, which includes acute and chronic syndrome. The second chapter includes symptoms of burnout syndrome, where I describe physical, emotional, mental exhaustion and stress. The third chapter deals with the stages of burnout, which I describe more in detail. The fourth chapter focuses on risk groups of people that are the most often affected by burnout syndrome. In this chapter I characterize the concept of personality and describe the symptoms of burnout within the personality. In the fifth chapter I mention preventing burnout syndrome, furthermore there I describe the basic methods and prevention techniques, which include social networking, preventive measures by the employee as well as by the employer and last but not the least I mention supervision in that chapter. The last, sixth chapter, deals with the field social work in the context of the law on social services, basic principles, methods and procedures of social work are described. I focus on the differences between the field social work and provided social services. In the practical part two goals are set. First one is to determine whether burnout syndrome occurs among field social workers in Ceske Budejovice. The second one is what methods and prevention techniques are used by social workers in Ceske Budejovice in order to prevent burnout syndrome. Based on the objectives set, I chose two research questions. These research questions deal with burnout of social workers in the Ceske Budejovice and furthermore the most common methods and techniques for the prevention of Social Workers in the Czech Budejovice the symptoms of burnout used. In order to realize the practical part I used qualitative research methodology. Data were obtained using a semi-structured interview. The sample consisted of 7 social workers from Ceske Budejovice. I used the technique of purposive sampling research sample. The survey results showed that 4 field workers out of 7 have been experiencing symptoms of burnout syndrome. The most common methods and techniques to prevent burnout of field social workers are devoting their hobbies, social support from family, friends, colleagues, heads of organizations or supervisor. Furthermore, to separate work life from personal life and to set firm boundaries of work, adequate rest and of course supervision. My thesis could be benefit to the general public. Could be beneficial for both social workers, who have been experiencing symptoms of burnout syndrome and want to learn more, as well as for social workers who have met with burnout and want to know the possible methods and techniques in order to prevent burnout syndrome.
