          Abstract

          Quality of life is an essential aspect of physical and mental health, which can be affected by burnout. There is evidence that shows the effects of psychological disorders such as professional exhaustion associated with poor quality of life as a reduction of motivation and professional achievement. Besides, burnout influences social, physical, cognitive and professional aspects. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the participants' vulnerability to burnout and their quality of life levels. Also, to compare the quality of life of the individuals most vulnerable to this syndrome with the rest of the sample of lower vulnerability. The present study included 52 workers between doctors and teachers. Data collection consisted of the Sociodemographic Inventory, Whoqol-Bref, and Maslach Burnout Inventory response. The results showed that 19.2% of the total sample had high levels of burnout and these same participants also obtained lower scores in all domains of quality of life compared to the other participants. These problems can be seen as a social issue because their consequences, such as the loss of quality of work and even harmful effects on the health system and education extend and affect other people who are directly related to those professionals vulnerable to the syndrome.

          A qualidade de vida é um importante aspecto sobre a saúde física e mental, que pode ser afetada pelo burnout. Existem evidências que apontam os efeitos de distúrbios psicológicos, como o esgotamento profissional, associados à baixa qualidade de vida como redutores da motivação e realização profissional. Além disso, o burnout influencia em aspectos sociais, físicos, cognitivos e profissionais. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a vulnerabilidade dos participantes para burnout e seus níveis de qualidade de vida. Ademais, comparar a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos mais vulneráveis a essa síndrome com o restante da amostra, de menor vulnerabilidade. Participaram do presente estudo 52 trabalhadores entre médicos e professores. A coleta de dados consistiu na resposta do Inventário Sociodemográfico, Whoqol-Bref e Maslach Burnout Inventory. Os resultados mostraram que 19,2% da amostra total apresentou níveis elevados de burnout e esses mesmos participantes também obtiveram escores mais baixos em todos os domínios da qualidade de vida comparados aos demais participantes. Esses problemas podem ser vistos como uma questão social, pois suas consequências, incluindo a perda de qualidade do trabalho e até mesmo em efeitos prejudiciais ao sistema de saúde e educação, se estendem e afetam outras pessoas que se relacionam diretamente com esses profissionais vulneráveis à síndrome.

            A Systematic Review of the Impact of Physicians’ Occupational Well-Being on the Quality of Patient Care

            Background It is widely held that the occupational well-being of physicians may affect the quality of their patient care. Yet, there is still no comprehensive synthesis of the evidence on this connection. Purpose This systematic review studied the effect of physicians’ occupational well-being on the quality of patient care. Methods We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and PsychINFO from inception until August 2014. Two authors independently reviewed the studies. Empirical studies that explored the association between physicians’ occupational well-being and patient care quality were considered eligible. Data were systematically extracted on study design, participants, measurements, and findings. The Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI) was used to assess study quality. Results Ultimately, 18 studies were included. Most studies employed an observational design and were of average quality. Most studies reported positive associations of occupational well-being with patient satisfaction, patient adherence to treatment, and interpersonal aspects of patient care. Studies reported conflicting findings for occupational well-being in relation to technical aspects of patient care. One study found no association between occupational well-being and patient health outcomes. Conclusions The association between physicians’ occupational well-being and health care’s ultimate goal—improved patient health—remains understudied. Nonetheless, research up till date indicated that physicians’ occupational well-being can contribute to better patient satisfaction and interpersonal aspects of care. These insights may help in shaping the policies on physicians’ well-being and quality of care.
