In the last decade, several epidemiological studies have found a high prevalence of occupational burnout in both western and developing countries. Burnout is a global concern and has the potential to negatively affect the individual’s psychological and physical health, as well as an organization’s and a country’s effectiveness and economy.   The goal of this project was to create a stress management and prevention system that opens up for reflection and discussion on an individual, corporate and societal level. To achieve this the student investigated how stress could be quantified, visualized and communicated in a constructive way.   The final concept assists the individual to recognize their stress and relaxation patterns and make constructive behavioral changes. In the workplace the system indicates stress levels and aims to enable real life communication regarding stress. Exposing stress data to the public empowers society to value and demand stress management.

As demandas e pressões da situação de trabalho agregadas ás características pessoais podem contribuir para o adoecimento físico e mental de trabalhadores levando ao esgotamento profissional e esse pode estar associado à ocorrência de acidentes do trabalho. Objetivo: verificar a associação entre indicadores da síndrome de burnout, presenteísmo e a ocorrência de acidentes do trabalho com exposição ao material biológico entre profissionais de enfermagem. Método: estudo transversal descritivo realizado com enfermeiros, auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem, de um hospital de ensino do Estado de São Paulo, acometidos por acidentes do trabalho com material biológico no período 2015- 2017 e que foram cadastrados na Rede de Prevenção de Acidentes do Trabalho com Exposição ao Material Biológico (REPATUSP). A amostra foi composta por 100 trabalhadores de enfermagem. As variáveis estudadas foram: síndrome de burnout, acidentes do trabalho, características sóciodemográficas e o presenteísmo. Os instrumentos utilizados para coleta de dados foram: protocolo de registros de acidentes da REPAT- USP; questionário de dados sociodemográficos e ocupacionais; Malash Burnout Inventory; escala de presenteismo? de Stanford (SPS-6). Os dados foram coletados de abril a outubro de 2017. Foram analisados por estatística descritiva, testes de associação qui-quadrado de Pearson e os testes não paramétricos Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis. O nível de significância adotado foi ?=0,05. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (protocolo CAAE: 67510017.5.0000.5393). Resultados: Com base na análise das respostas dos 71 questionários, observou-se entre os profissionais que sofreram acidente do trabalho com material biológico, que a prevalência de burnout foi de 52,11% (37). Foram analisadas associações da síndrome de burnout e o presenteísmo em que se observou que 45,5% dos profissionais apresentaram burnout e presenteísmo. Conclusão: Este estudo evidenciou uma alta prevalência da SB nos profissionais de enfermagem, revelando assim a necessidade de intervenções em relação às condições de trabalho dos enfermeiros. Foram encontradas associações significativas entre a dimensão despersonalização da síndrome de burnout e o presenteísmo. Destaca-se a importância de se avaliar a prevalência da síndrome entre os diferentes profissionais, pois o seu desenvolvimento pode acarretar resultados negativos para os profissionais, pacientes e instituições. Os esforços aqui empreendidos pretende encorajar as instituições a promoverem iniciativas para mudanças / The demands and pressures from work aggregated to personal characteristics can contribute for workers physical and mental illness leading to professional exhaustion and can be associated with the occurrence of occupational accidents. Objective: to verify the association between indicators of burnout syndrome, presenteeism and occurency of occupational accidents with exposure to biological agents between nursing professionals. Method: This is a cross-sectional study carried out with nurses, auxiliaries and technicians of a Hospital Teaching from Sao Paulo state who were affected for accidents at work with biological material between 2015-2017 and were records at the Work Accidents Prevention Network with exposure to biological agents.

The tools used for data collection were: protocolo de registros de acidentes da REPAT- USP; questionário de dados sociodemográficos e ocupacionais; Malash Burnout Inventory; escala de presenteismo? de Stanford (SPS-6). The data were colected from april to june 2017. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic Pearson\'s chi-square association tests and non-parametric Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The level of significance was ? = 0.05. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing (protocolo CAAE: 67510017.5.0000.5393). Results: Based on the analysis of the results of the 71 questionnaires, the prevalence of burnout was 52.11% (37) among the professionals who suffered from work accident with biological material. Associations of the burnout syndrome and presenteism were analyzed in which 45.5% of the professionals presented burnout and presenteeism. Conclusion: This study evidenced a high prevalence of Burnout Syndrome in nursing professionals, thus revealing the need for interventions in relation to nurses\' working conditions. Significant associations were found between the depersonalization dimension of burnout syndrome and presenteeism. It is important to evaluate the prevalence of the syndrome among the different professionals, as their development can lead to negative results for professionals, patients and institutions. The efforts made here are intended to encourage institutions to promote initiatives for change

Topic of this diploma thesis is the usage of professional methods of assistance and control applied by social workers in practice. Theoretical part consists of a description of history of assistance and control in social work area, assistance and control in the context of a systematic approach and the risk of abusing of power by social workers while realising controls of clients. Furthermore, the diploma thesis mentions the helper syndrome and the occupational burnout syndrome that is common in social professions and, in connection to that, the importance of maintaining a certain psycho-hygiene and the significance of supervision. The aim of this diploma thesis is the monitoring of professional work methods of assistance and control by social workers directly engaged with the clients. In accordance with this goal, there were three research questions established relating the goal of the diploma thesis. Social workers answered questions questioning them how they use the assistance and control in the direct engagement with the clients and how they perceive the distinction between the assistance and control in their practical experience. In order to achieve the goal, there was used a qualitative research that was implemented by using the method of a semi-structured interview. Data analysis was evaluated by using the method of the categorization of data. In conclusion, it can be stated that the goal of the diploma thesis, alongside with the research questions, were achieved. Based on the results, two hypotheses were established. The first one is that social workers are not aware of the professional work methods of control and assistance in practice, the second is that the unfamiliarity with these methods causes less effectivity level of their performance. Outcomes of this diploma thesis may be used as a study material for a theoretical teaching and as a feedback for social workers as this diploma thesis brings the information about which work methods they are using in their practice.

Abstract Background Occupational Burnout is one of the greatest challenges affecting the labour markets today. It is mainly caused by prolonged stress exposure due to the psychosocial work environment and is nowadays the fastest growing cause of long-term sick leave in Sweden. It therefor affects both the society, organisation and individual. It is thus a managerial concern to manage and structure the organisations in a sustainable way that maximises the use of human resources, rather than burning them out.    Purpose The aim of the thesis is to investigate the high level of sick-leave or burnout due to organisational and managerial factors in the Swedish educational sector, by focusing on the role leadership, organisational and psychosocial work environment plays in preventing/causing employees’ burnout. The authors attempt to contribute knowledge on why theory may not match reality in this case, as statistics of sickleave due to stressrelated illness remains high. Methods In this qualitative study principals, administrators, and teachers of four public compulsory schools in Jönköping and Öckerö are interviewed. Using semi-structured interviews, data is gathered, coded and analysed in relation to modern research literature on the topic of burnout as well as Swedish Work Environment Authority guidelines, to spot key elements of positive and negative factors which have affected the stress situations of the schools’ employees. Several factors from organizational and leadership perspective are examined to assist organizations to avoid or prevent burnout.   Results Prevalence of high burnout rates in schools in the cases studied, was associated with recent large reorganization of employees and administration; weak and inefficient leadership which did not strive to build relationships and open communication with teachers; low integration between sectors and working groups; lack of support and monitoring of stressed employees; low ability of employees to contribute to their workplace environments; the shortage of budgets issued by municipality.   Conclusions 1.The reason sick leave related to stress and burnout is high in the cases studied, is that implementation of research and policy guidelines is lacking behind in schools which suffer from employee stress related issues. As well as the current management model of the public sector may not benefit to prevent employee burnout.   2. It is possible to avoid employee burnout through adjusting the management and organizational structure, as adaptations toward dealing with employees’ stress are showing a positive sign on preventing the development of burnout.

This diploma thesis deals with workload of social service workers in special regime homes. The aim of this paper is to chart the factors influencing workload of social service workers in special regime homes. The main research question asked is: How do social service workers in special regime homes perceive their workload subjectively? The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a research part. The theoretical part is divided into five chapters which are based on professional literature. The chapters contain a detailed description of the profession of social service workers including professional qualifications together with the definition of the social service - special regime home. The term strain is defined and divided into workload, mental strain and physical strain in the following chapter together with a mention of the term work-life balance in connection with this topic. The subsequent chapter is dedicated to prevention of inception of strain, more precisely to supervision and mental health hygiene. The last chapter deals in detail with occupational burnout. The research part contains the specifications of the aim of the thesis, of the main research question and of five research sub-questions which have been based on the main one. The data have been collected by means of qualitative research, survey methodology and the semi-structured interview method. A specific special regime home in the Vysočina region has been selected for the purposes of this research. The nine participants in the research are social service workers who have been employed at the facility for a minimum of one year. The research was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, a preliminary research was done to serve as a base for adjusting the research questions. The actual research was realised in the next phase. The acquired data were processed using the clustering method and evaluated subsequently. The evaluated data are ordered in relation to the research questions. The social service workers cope with the workload well. They consider their work to be not only physically but also substantially mentally demanding. Manipulating with bedridden clients is viewed as the most physically challenging operation by the facility workers. The most mentally challenging situations for them are the decease of clients, incessant explaining, dealing with clients, etc. The workers experience stressful situations with clients, however more frequently with clients' families as well. The most common work-related health problems of the workers at the facility are backaches. The results of this diploma thesis can serve the selected special regime home in the Vysočina region or as a study material to the lay and professional public.
