Burnout se destaca globalmente como um dos fatores psicossociais de risco ocupacional mais preocupantes. Objetivou-se analisar estudos científicos sobre burnout em profissionais de saúde especificamente na América Latina. 52 artigos, publicados entre 2015 e 2021, compõem a amostra desta pesquisa. Foram realizadas, utilizando o método PRISMA, análises por pares e de juízes, no software N-VIVO; além de bibliometria para interpretação dos resultados. Os achados indicam que fatores sociodemográficos têm importância para a síndrome. Ainda, os de maior risco laboral são: turnos de trabalho, exigências exacerbadas, falta de períodos de descanso, mudanças de rotina e violência laboral. Já os mais significativos na proteção ao Burnout são: ter filhos, estilo de vida saudável, suporte social, engajamento no trabalho e recursos de trabalho suficientes. Concluiu-se que as sintomatologias e comorbidades precisam ser melhor investigadas na diferenciação de quadros clínicos e nas estratégias de manejo em estágios iniciais desta síndrome. Palavras-chave: burnout, América Latina, profissionais da saúde.

Evidence-based positive interventions contribute to the promotion of workers’ well-being. Accordingly, an intervention was carried out with 11 physiotherapist engaging leaders from a hospital in Porto Alegre to promote their engagement at work as a protection factor. A mixed transformative-sequential study was carried out, consisting of four phases with three stages of assessment. The effectiveness of the intervention was investigated using the Jacobson-Truax Method, evaluating the effects of the intervention on Engagement at Work, Perceived Social Support, Dispositional Hope, Gratitude, and Anxiety. The intervention integrated epistemological assumptions from the Job Demand-Resources Model and the Basic Psychological Needs Theory. The main result was the increased levels of work engagement, which strengthened positive psychological states, and had an anxiety-reducing effect during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study provides relevant contributions to positive development in mental health protection at work.

This study explores the relationships among companionate love (a collective, non-romantic emotional culture expressed through care, compassion, and tenderness at work), organizational culture practices (OCPs), work engagement, and burnout among 649 Brazilian workers. Using a quantitative, exploratory, and correlational design, data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, group comparisons, and network modeling. Results indicated strong positive associations among companionate love, OCP, and work engagement, as well as negative associations with burnout. Companionate love was most strongly associated with OCP, suggesting that emotionally expressive work environments are linked to the perception of supportive organizational practices. Work engagement emerged as a central relational node in the network, connecting emotional culture and burnout. Group comparisons showed higher engagement among postgraduate professionals and managers, and higher OCP perceptions among remote workers and employees in the private sector, although effect sizes were small. Network centrality analyses identified OCP and engagement as key relational influencers within the system. Overall, the findings highlight the relevance of emotional culture and organizational practices for workplace well-being and suggest relational pathways through which engagement may be linked to lower burnout in organizational contexts.

Este artigo resulta de uma pesquisa realizada com nove estudantes universitários cujo objetivo era treinar a tomada de papéis. A pesquisa consistiu em quatro encontros grupais, com noventa minutos de duração, e com a aplicação de jogos dramáticos com o propósito de amenizar a ansiedade. Aqui, discutimos os resultados dos dados obtidos no primeiro encontro, no qual foi possível perceber um elevado índice de ansiedade, além de alguns bloqueios no role taking e no role creating. Esses achados foram desenvolvidos nos encontros seguintes e, ao final, foi possível perceber a diminuição da ansiedade e um aumento da espontaneidade no grupo.

Using a quantitative, exploratory, and correlational design, data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, group comparisons, and network modeling. Results revealed strong positive associations between companionate love, OCP, and work engagement, as well as negative associations with burnout. Companionate love was most strongly linked to OCP, suggesting that emotionally expressive environments foster perceptions of supportive organizational practices. Work engagement emerged as a central construct, mediating the relationship between emotional culture and burnout. Group comparisons showed higher engagement among postgraduate professionals and managers, and stronger OCP perceptions among remote workers and those in the private sector. Network centrality analysis identified OCP and engagement as key influencers. These findings underscore the significance of emotional culture and organizational practices in fostering workplace well-being, and suggest strategic pathways for mitigating burnout through enhanced engagement and cultural support.
