The student Burnout Syndrome is a response to chronic and severe stress linked to the role of the students and their academic context. This study aims at determining the prevalence and severity of the student Burnout Syndrome on a sample of midwifery students and its associated factors. The study is observational, cross-sectional, and analytical, with a sample of 140 students of a Chilean university. The study variables were as follows: sociodemographic background, academic profile, student Burnout Syndrome scale, and behaviors in everyday psychosocial activities. The instrument for measuring the Burnout Syndrome was the Unidimensional Scale of Student Burnout. For the analysis, descriptive statistics were used, and the association of the independent over the dependent variables was assessed through linear regression. Of the third-year students, 77.2% had a moderate or deep burnout level, which increases to 91.8% in the fourth-year students. A significant and direct association was found between the syndrome and the career year. A significant association was also found between the Burnout Scale and the scale of psychosocial risk behavior. All the students present some degree of Burnout Syndrome, which is related to both their studies and psychosocial risks.

Abstract.SELF-EFFICACY AND PSYCHOSOCIAL RISKS IN TECHNICAL STAFF OF AN ADOPTION SERVICE.It is necessary that Psychology continues to devote efforts to map psychosocial risks in different occupations, as well as to facilitate the understanding of the relationship between risks and consequences, including the role of vulnerability and protective factors. This study brings as a novelty the evaluation of psychosocial risks in a group that has not been studied until now: the technical staff of a service of information, training, assessment of suitability and post-adoption follow-ups in international adoption procedures. The objectives of this research are: to determine the proportion of professionals exposed to psychosocial risk working conditions; to establish the level of self-efficacy of these professionals for working under conditions of psychosocial risk; to establish the relationship between the degree of exposure to psychosocial risks and the level of self-efficacy of these professionals. A cross-sectional study was carried out through a survey in which a sample of 51 technicians participated, out of a total of 72 people who composed the service in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. The instruments used, in addition to a sociodemographic data form, were the Inventory of Psychosocial Risks (León & Avargues, 2004) and the Professional Self-Efficacy under Psychosocial Risk Conditions Scale (Sánchez-Sevilla, Guillén & León-Rubio, 2006). The results showed that almost half of the people evaluated are exposed to very stressful working conditions that are a risk to work life quality and health related to work stress. Regarding professional self-efficacy under psychosocial risk conditions, the sample as a whole had a moderate-high score. On the possible relationship of self-efficacy with the level of psychosocial risk borne by the professionals evaluated, an inverse relationship was found between both variables.Key Words: psychosocial risks, work stress, self-efficacy, adoptions.Resumen.Es necesario que la Psicología siga dedicando esfuerzos a elaborar mapas de riesgos psicosociales por ocupaciones, así como a facilitar la comprensión de las relaciones entre riesgos y consecuencias, comprendiendo también el papel de los factores de vulnerabilidad y protección. Este estudio aporta como novedad la evaluación de riesgos psicosociales en un colectivo hasta ahora poco estudiado: los técnicos y técnicas de un servicio de información, formación, valoración de idoneidad y seguimientos postadoptivos en procedimientos de adopciones internacionales. Los objetivos de esta investigación son: determinar la proporción de profesionales expuestos a condiciones de trabajo de riesgo psicosocial; establecer el nivel de autoeficacia de estos profesionales para trabajar en condiciones de riesgo psicosocial; determinar la relación entre el nivel de exposición a riesgos psicosociales y el nivel de autoeficacia de estos profesionales. Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal mediante encuesta en el que participó una muestra de 51 técnicos y técnicas, de un total de 72 personas que componían dicho servicio en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. Los instrumentos utilizados, además de un formulario de datos sociodemográficos, fueron el Inventario de Riesgos Psicosociales (León y Avargues, 2004) y la Escala de Autoeficacia Profesional bajo condiciones de Riesgo Psicosocial (Sánchez-Sevilla, Guillén y León-Rubio, 2006). Los resultados pusieron de manifiesto que casi la mitad de las personas evaluadas se encuentran expuestas a condiciones laborales de mucha tensión que suponen un riesgo para la calidad de vida laboral y la salud relacionada con el estrés laboral. En lo referente a la autoeficacia profesional bajo condiciones de riesgo psicosocial, el conjunto de la muestra obtuvo una puntuación moderada-alta. Con respecto a la posible relación de la autoeficacia con el nivel de riesgo psicosocial soportado por los profesionales evaluados, se encontró una relación inversa entre ambas variables.Palabras Claves: riesgos psicosociales, estrés laboral, autoeficacia, adopciones

Univariate Analyses

Burnout is defined as an occupational phenomenon linked to chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed and included among the factors influencing health status or contact with health services. Although several studies were performed for assessing this phenomenon, there is a lack of data on the prevalence of burnout and associated predictors, due to different definitions of the syndrome and heterogeneity of assessment methods. One of the well-known evidences on burnout is related to the highest risk professions, which include policemen, firemen, teachers, psychologists, medical students, nurses, physicians, and other health professionals, such as pharmacists. Objective. The aims of the present study were to (1) assess the occurrence of burnout syndrome among a sample of pharmacists employed in public and private pharmacies located in Rome province (Latium Region; central Italy); (2) evaluate the role of some potential predictors for the development of the syndrome. Materials and Methods. A questionnaire elaborated ad hoc was administered online to 2,000 members of the Association of Professional Pharmacists of Rome and its province and employed in public or private pharmacies. The questionnaire included the 14-item Shirom–Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM) tool and questions on demographic characteristics and working conditions. Results. Physical exhaustion was the burnout dimension with the highest score; besides, approximately 11% of the studied pharmacists were categorized as having clinically relevant burnout levels (≥4.40). Several of the investigated variables significantly influenced the single burnout dimensions at the univariate analyses; multivariate analyses demonstrated that alcohol consumption and workplace location have a significant independent role on the overall SMBM index, while working time significantly influences clinically relevant burnout level. Conclusions. The results revealed that pharmacists are at risk of burnout, and thus, it is necessary to perform specific preventive intervention for managing this occupational threat.

And Control

Over the last two decades, a range of reports and cross-sectional surveys of European workers have highlighted Denmark as scoring exceptionally, and consistently, well across several dimensions shaping working life, for example, job quality, work-life balance, discretion and learning, and job satisfaction. This is despite a trend of increasing psychosocial risks of work across Europe. Providing a retrospective interpretation of this exceptionalism, the paper draws on data from 40 expert interviews in Denmark to theoretically map the advantageous institutional components shaping working life in Denmark. Aligning the theories of Émile Durkheim with the capabilities framework, the analysis highlights the role of interdependent collective agreements, which link macro and microwork contexts and generate resources that augment the experience of balance and control within working life

Objective: To determine the relationship between psychosocial risk factors and professional satisfaction of workers working in oncology and palliative care units in a region of Chile. Material and Method: Non experimental, cross-sectional, correlational study with quantitative approach. In the last semester of 2016, the census of health workers was carried out, using an instrument composed of three parts for data collection: a) bio-sociodemographic history, b) SUSESO-ISTAS 21 questionnaire for psychosocial risks, and c) for work satisfaction. International bioethical principles were respected throughout the research. Results: There is a relationship with statistical significance (p≤0,05) between psychosocial risks and job satisfaction at work, the dimension of psychosocial risk with higher risk is psychological demand (x:11,24; DP: 3,06) and dual presence (x: 3,23; DP: 1,90) and the factor in which less satisfaction is perceived is the physical work environment (x: 4,32 DP: 1,77). Conclusion: With the results obtained, it can be affirmed that the workers who work in oncologic units and perceive greater psychosocial risk at work present less satisfaction at work, which can impact on the quality of assistance.

Psychosocial risk factors threaten the health of teachers, who are considered to be a group at high risk of suffering burnout syndrome. The objective of this study is to measure the levels of work satisfaction, burnout, engagement, emotional stability, fatigue, and mood of teachers, depending on their workday: intensive or split shift. A nonexperimental, descriptive–comparative research design is proposed for this study. A follow-up questionnaire has been developed to assess a teacher’s levels of physical fatigue, mental fatigue, and mood at the beginning and end of the 9 days of work analyzed. The study sample consisted of 125 teachers (102 women and 23 men) with a mean age of 38.67 years ( SD = 9.51) and 10.02 years of experience in teaching. The results show that the group of teachers working the traditional morning and afternoon shift present greater levels of physical and mental fatigue, worse mood, and less job satisfaction with supervision. However, there were no significant differences in levels of emotional stability, burnout, and engagement between the two groups of teachers. In short, it can be considered that the single morning shift generates higher levels of health among teachers.

The present study aimed to explore the added value of managers’ and employee representatives’ agreement in risk perception and awareness in explaining the management of more ‘subjective’ psychosocial risks as compared to the more ‘objective’ traditional OSH risks. The general assumption tested was whether the added value of agreement in risk perception and awareness between these parties would be larger for psychosocial risk management as compared to traditional OSH risk management. European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER-1) data were used from 7226 enterprises in which both managers and employee representatives were interviewed. Answers by employee representatives and managers to mirror questions on risk perception and awareness were used as independent variables, and answers to questions on risk management by the manager were used as dependent variables. Polynomial regression with response surface analysis was used. Differences in risk perception and awareness between managers and employee representatives explained more variance in psychosocial risk management as compared to more traditional OSH risk management. The implications of these findings and the importance of ‘social dialogue’ particularly in the case of psychosocial risk management as opposed to general OSH management are discussed.

Reward Imbalance

This study aimed to evaluate the Effort-Reward Imbalance among nurses and its association with burnout syndrome. This is an observational study of a cross-sectional type. A self-administered survey was used to collect the socio-demographic and professional characteristics. The Siegrist Effort-Reward Imbalance scale to measure the psychosocial risks and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory to assess burnout. The results indicate that the level of burnout is moderate [patient-related burnout (2.77±0.95), general burnout (3.00±0.67)], but there is an imbalance between the efforts and rewards received by nurses (1.50±0.51). The indices calculated by Cronbach’s alpha are very important for effort (α=0.79), and reward (α=0.75). The results raise questions about the importance of a better understanding of the effect of psychosocial risks on health through perceived effort/reward. The use of information and communication technologies to accurately identify psychosocial risks at work is recommended.
