The authors compared the levels of job burden and stress in psychiatry residents with those of other healthcare professionals at inpatient and outpatient psychiatric hospitals in a medium-sized Brazilian city.
In this study, the levels of job burden and stress of 136 healthcare workers and 36 psychiatry residents from six various psychiatric facilities (two day-hospitals, two inpatient units of psychiatric hospitals, and two general hospitals) were evaluated. All participants completed two rating scales for job burden and stress.
Psychiatry residents showed higher job burden and stress than other healthcare workers. There was a negative correlation between the burden scores and age in the sample of employees, but no correlation of burden and age in residents.
Psychiatric residents in this study suffered higher levels of job burden and stress than other healthcare professionals, suggesting the need for changes in residency programs to deal with this issue.
作者比较了中型城市中精神病院住院部和门诊部的精神科住院医师与其他卫生保健专业人员的工作负担和压力水平。
在这项研究中,评估了来自六个不同精神病院(两个日间医院、两个精神病院住院部和两个综合医院)的 136 名卫生保健工作者和 36 名精神科住院医师的工作负担和压力水平。所有参与者都完成了两份工作负担和压力评分表。
精神科住院医师的工作负担和压力均高于其他卫生保健工作者。在员工样本中,负担评分与年龄呈负相关,但与居民的年龄没有相关性。
与其他卫生保健专业人员相比,这项研究中的精神科住院医师的工作负担和压力水平更高,这表明需要对住院医师培训计划进行改革以解决这一问题。
