          Abstract

          Esta investigação propõe-se a verificar a ocorrência da Síndrome de Burnout em Agentes Comunitários de Saúde, visto que esses profissionais trabalham diretamente no cuidado a outras pessoas - característica prevalente em tal Síndrome -, bem como as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas. Optou-se pelo método descritivo, transversal e quantitativo. Foram aplicados o questionário Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) e a Escala Modos de Enfrentamento de Problemas (EMEP). A amostra constituiu-se por 80 ACS, escolhidos aleatoriamente entre aqueles admitidos há pelo menos dois anos no serviço público municipal. Verificou-se que se trata de uma amostra predominantemente do sexo feminino (93,75%), com filhos (68,75%), na faixa etária de 20 a 30 anos (35%) e com companheiro fixo (60%). A renda per capita de 38,75% é de menos de um salário mínimo; 53,04% estão nesse trabalho há mais de seis anos e relatam ter vida sedentária. O MBI revela um sentimento de deterioração da percepção da própria competência dos profissionais e, também, falta de satisfação com o próprio trabalho. Eles demonstram estar emocionalmente esgotados e verifica-se o desenvolvimento incipiente de sentimentos e atitudes negativas, além de cinismo para com as pessoas por eles atendidas. O Modo de Enfrentamento mais utilizado são as estratégias focalizadas no problema, seguidas pela busca de práticas religiosas/pensamento fantasioso. Verificam-se indícios de sofrimento característicos da Síndrome de Burnout, com o esforço de buscar mecanismos que auxiliem no enfrentamento de problemas relacionados ao trabalho. Sugerem-se estratégias de acolhimento a esses profissionais, de forma a auxiliá-los a lidar com o sofrimento no trabalho.

          Translated abstract

          This research aims to verify the occurrence of the Burnout Syndrome in Community Health Agents (CHA). These professionals work directly in care delivery to other people, and this is a prevalent characteristic in this Syndrome. Another aim is to verify the coping strategies such professionals use. A descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study was carried out. A questionnaire - the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) - and the Ways of Coping Scale (WOCS) were administered. The sample consisted of 80 CHA, randomly chosen among professionals who had been working for at least two years in the municipal public service. The results show that the sample was predominantly female (93.75%), with children (68.75%), belonging to the age group 20-30 years old (35%) and with a steady partner (60%). The per capita income of 38.75% is less than one minimum salary, 53.04% have been working in this job for more than six years and lead a sedentary life. The MBI reveals a feeling of deterioration in the perception of these professionals' own competence and lack of satisfaction with their own work. They present emotional exhaustion, and the incipient development of negative attitudes and cynicism towards the people they deliver care to were noticed. The most used coping strategies are problem-focused ones, followed by the search for religious practices/fantastic thinking. Symptoms of suffering which are typical of the Burnout Syndrome, as well as the effort to seek for mechanisms that help to cope with work-related problems, were observed. Strategies to welcome these professionals are suggested so as to help them deal with suffering at work.

          Appraisal, coping, health status, and psychological symptoms.

          In this study we examined the relation between personality factors (mastery and interpersonal trust), primary appraisal (the stakes a person has in a stressful encounter), secondary appraisal (options for coping), eight forms of problem- and emotion-focused coping, and somatic health status and psychological symptoms in a sample of 150 community-residing adults. Appraisal and coping processes should be characterized by a moderate degree of stability across stressful encounters for them to have an effect on somatic health status and psychological symptoms. These processes were assessed in five different stressful situations that subjects experienced in their day-to-day lives. Certain processes (e.g., secondary appraisal) were highly variable, whereas others (e.g., emotion-focused forms of coping) were moderately stable. We entered mastery and interpersonal trust, and primary appraisal and coping variables (aggregated over five occasions), into regression analyses of somatic health status and psychological symptoms. The variables did not explain a significant amount of the variance in somatic health status, but they did explain a significant amount of the variance in psychological symptoms. The pattern of relations indicated that certain variables were positively associated and others negatively associated with symptoms.
