Objetivo: to identify and compare burnout levels between Portuguese, Spanish and Brazilian nurses. Method: quantitative, descriptive, correlational, comparative and cross-sectional study conducted using a sample of 1,052 nurses working in hospitals and primary care centers. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory were applied to nurses in Porto, Portugal (n=306), Oviedo, Spain (n=269) and S. Paulo, Brazil (n=477). Data analysis was performed using descriptive, inferential and multivariate analysis. Results: approximately 42% of the nurses showed moderate/high levels of burnout, with no differences found between countries (Portugal and Brazil 42%, Spain 43%). Only depersonalization showed differences between countries, presenting Spain the highest level and Portugal the lowest one. Comparative analysis showed higher burnout levels in young nurses and those working by shifts. Considering job schedules, burnout was associated to shift work in Portugal, while in Spain and Brazil it was associated with fixed schedules. Conclusion: these results suggest that this syndrome among nurses is a global phenomenon. The daily stressors and higher demands of the nursing profession are crucial in the preparation of nurses to deal with complex situations, to avoid burnout, and to reduce the negative impact on nurses’ health and on the quality of care they provide.

“…Um estudo apontou que o burnout associou-se negativamente à segurança do paciente, pois incorreu na elevação dos índices de eventos adversos como quedas, erros no preparo e administração de medicamentos e infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde 24 . Outra pesquisa com resultado semelhante apontou a relação entre os níveis elevados de exaustão emocional dos enfermeiros e a diminuição das atitudes em relação à segurança do paciente 25 .…”

Os enfermeiros que atuam na assistência hospitalar lidam com dor física, emocional, situações de alta complexidade, exposição ao sofrimento, medo, estresse e ansiedade, o que favorece o desenvolvimento da fadiga por compaixão, que é considerada uma forma de sofrimento decorrente da atividade laboral e pode comprometer a saúde e bem-estar do enfermeiro, bem como a segurança do paciente. Objetivou-se relacionar a fadiga por compaixão com aspectos da qualidade da assistência à saúde e segurança do paciente. Tratou-se de um estudo exploratório, quantitativo, correlacional, realizado entre maio e junho de 2021. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de questionário online após anuência do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa e consentimento dos participantes. A amostra constituiu-se de 410 enfermeiros que atuavam em três hospitais privados de São Paulo; 319 (78%) eram do sexo feminino, 212 (51,71%) atuavam de 4 a 10 anos nos hospitais. Obteve-se correlações positivas entre índices elevados na dimensão de fadiga por compaixão e burnout do questionário ProQol-Br e aspectos relacionados à qualidade assistencial e segurança do paciente (p<0,001). Os enfermeiros concordaram que devido à sobrecarga de trabalho e exaustão mental deixaram de cumprir integralmente protocolos de qualidade e segurança do paciente, o que pode aumentar a ocorrência de eventos adversos. Evidenciouse a relevância de desenvolvimento de estratégias para melhorar a sobrecarga de trabalho, por meio da adequação dos recursos humanos, satisfação e reconhecimento profissional, a fim de minimizar à ocorrência de fadiga por compaixão e repercutir positivamente na qualidade assistêncial e segurança do paciente.Palavras-chave: Fadiga por Compaixão.

“…In addition, they might present more difficulties in their relationships at work, evaluating patient safety culture as worse. Secondarily, since the work environment is unsafe for patients, these workers could suffer from the effects of a deficient safety culture and present higher levels of Burnout and secondary traumatic stress ( 15 , 17 ) .…”

“…High levels of Burnout influenced the perception of pressure at work, which was negatively related to patient safety. Furthermore, a better work environment was directly associated to lower levels of Burnout, which was subsequently related to a higher level of patient safety and the mitigation of adverse events ( 17 ) .…”

Objective: To analyze the association between patient safety culture and professional quality of life in nursing professionals. Method: Correlational study carried out in a hospital in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, with 180 participants. The data were collected through the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture and Professional Quality of Life Scale and analyzed with correlation tests. Results: The use of the Quality of Professional Life model, which encompasses Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout and Traumatic Stress, showed that a better assessment of the safety culture was negatively associated with Burnout. Regarding the dimensions of culture, better evaluations of the general perception of safety, teamwork and staffing were negatively associated with Burnout and Traumatic Stress. Higher Burnout was negatively associated with better handoffs and greater Traumatic Stress was positively associated with error communication. Conclusion: Higher levels of Burnout were associated with worse perception of safety culture and worse teamwork evaluations; staffing and general perception of safety were associated to a higher level of Burnout and Traumatic Stress, which emphasizes the importance of investment in these areas.
