The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of burnout on suicidal behaviours and the mediating effect of self-esteem in this relationship. A total of 1172 healthcare professionals working in Portugal's private and public sector organisations participated in this study. The results indicate a high level of burnout among these professionals and that exhaustion (β = 0.16; < 0.001) and disengagement (β = 0.24; < 0.001) positively and significantly affect suicidal behaviours. In turn, self-esteem has a significant and negative effect (β = -0.51; < 0.001) on suicidal behaviours. Self-esteem moderates the relationship between disengagement and suicidal behaviours (B = -0.12; < 0.001) and the relationship between exhaustion and suicidal behaviours (B = -0.11; < 0.001), representing an essential variable for future lines of research, namely on the role of self-esteem in preventing burnout and suicidal behaviours in professionals from other professional areas.
本研究的主要目的是调查倦怠对自杀行为的影响，以及自尊在这种关系中的中介作用。共有 1172 名在葡萄牙私营和公共部门组织工作的医疗保健专业人员参与了这项研究。结果表明，这些专业人员的倦怠程度很高，精疲力竭（β=0.16；<0.001）和脱轨（β=0.24；<0.001）积极且显著地影响自杀行为。相反，自尊对自杀行为有显著的负面影响（β=-0.51；<0.001）。自尊调节脱轨与自杀行为之间的关系（B=-0.12；<0.001）和精疲力竭与自杀行为之间的关系（B=-0.11；<0.001），这代表了未来研究的一个重要变量，即自尊在预防其他专业领域专业人员的倦怠和自杀行为中的作用。
