A relação entre síndrome de burnout e lembranças de práticas parentais em estudantes de medicina

Abstract

Introduction: Medical students are continuously subjected to stressful factors, predisposing to psychological problems such as Burnout Syndrome. Socioeconomic factors influence the syndrome, but parental practice has not been taken into account in other studies with this population. Objectives: Describe the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome and the model of parenting practices in medical students. Methods: Cross-sectional, analytical and descriptive study with a quantitative approach to the data, in which 189 students from the 1st, 4th and 6th year of a medical course participated, with an average age of 22.9 years, with 60% of the sample being female, 40% male. The data were collected through socio-demographic and economic questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Scale on Memories of Parenting Practices. Results: The studied sample showed that in MBI the highest averages were in the domain 'personal achievement' (40.9). Comparing the MBI scores by academic year, it was found that the 6th grade students had lower 'emotional exhaustion' scores lower than those observed in 1st and 4th year students (p = 0.0117). As for the results in EMBU, the dimension 'emotional warmth' presented higher averages compared to the domain 'rejection' and that the 'overprotection' (p <0.0001).Conclusion: It is considered the importance of stimulating and promoting actions that encourage the performance of extra academic activities for students, as well as involving the family in the experiences of the medical course.
