- Personalidade, ansiedade e vulnerabilidade ao burnout em enfermeiros: um estudo comparativo Portugal/EspanhaPublication . Queirós, Cristina; Borges, Elisabete; Mosteiro, Pilar; Abreu, Margarida; Baldonedo, MariaIntroduction: Nowadays nurses execute their tasks in demanding and stressful contexts, where the stress accumulates and can trigger burnout. This one seems to be the result from the combination of organizational factors with individual vulnerability, in particular predisposition for anxiety and personality traits such as neuroticism. Objectives: This study aims, by comparing nurses from Portugal/Spain, to identify burnout levels and to analyse if personality and anxiety predict burnout. Methodology: This is a quantitative, exploratory, descriptive and transversal study, using a demographic/professional characterization questionnaire, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Maslach Burnout Inventory. After institutional authorizations, participated anonymously and volunteer, 337 Portuguese nurses and 309 Spanish nurses. Results: We found 55% of nurses without burnout, 35% with moderate burnout and 11% with high burnout, without differences between countries. However, the Portuguese nurses present significantly more exhaustion and less depersonalization, less anxiety trait, and more extroversion and Social Desirability, all with a moderate level. In Portugal, the age and professional experience correlate negatively with burnout, and anxiety predicts 32% of burnout. In Spain, anxiety explains 36% of burnout and personality traits only 2%. Discussion: These findings are consistent with studies in which anxiety is a vulnerability factor for burnout, but contradicted the influence of other personality traits, reinforcing the influence of organizational factors. Conclusion: The results are useful, in the field of occupational health, to develop organizational strategies that enhance individual characteristics of stress management, which, lately, have been applied using Mindfulness among nurses and nursing students.
- Bullying no trabalho: adaptação do Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised (NAQ-R) em enfermeirosPublication . Borges, Elisabete; Ferreira, Teresa de Jesus RodriguesO bullying no local de trabalho tem sido alvo de interesse crescente evidenciando a pertinência e necessidade da sua identi cação e da implementação de programas de intervenção. Este estudo tem como objectivo adaptar o “Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised” - NAQ-R (Einarsen & Hoel, 2001; versão portuguesa de Araújo, McIntyre, & McIntyre, 2004) e analisar as suas propriedades psicométricas numa amostra de enfermeiros portugueses. Foi utilizado o NAQ-R, que avalia o fenómeno do bullying no trabalho nos domínios da Intimidação, Exclusão, Qualidade/Sobrecarga de Trabalho e Subvalorização do Trabalho. A amostra foi de conveniência, sendo constituída por 151 enfermeiros que frequentavam Cursos de Pós-Licenciatura de Especialização em Enfermagem numa Escola Superior de Enfermagem da região norte de Portugal. O questionário apresentou valores de consistência interna para a escala global de 0.85, e entre 0.67 e 0.76 para as várias subescalas. A validade de critério revelou uma associação negativa estatisticamente signi cativa entre bullying e medidas critério de qualidade de vida (Short-Form Health Survey SF36-V1) e de perceção de qualidade de vida em geral, e uma associação positiva estatisticamente signi cativa entre bullying e perceção de stresse relacionado com o trabalho, corroborando outros estudos. Concluiu-se que a escala NAQ-R apresenta resultados satisfatórios para avaliação do fenómeno, podendo ser considerado um instrumento válido, ável e sensível. Contudo, deve ser reutilizado na população portuguesa para consolidação das suas propriedades psicométricas. Será útil também para prevenir consequências negativas na saúde ocupacional e mental do enfermeiro e na qualidade da prática clínica exercida.

- Bullying and engagement among nursesPublication . Maio, Tércio; Borges, Elisabete; Abreu, MargaridaWorkplace bullying has become a growing issue among nurses, which can have a negative impact on engagement. Due to the relevance of this matter, the purpose of this study was to identify the presence of workplace bullying and engagement and to analyze the relationship between the two and the sociodemographic and professional variables among nurses. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational study. The sample consisted of 173 primary care nurses from one of Azores’ Islands (Portugal). The sample was of 88.4% female nurses; 58.4% of which 38 years old or older and with an average of 16.1 years of professional experience. A questionnaire was applied respecting the nurses' con+dentiality, consisting of three groups for the nurses' sociodemographic, workplace bullying (NAQ-R) and engagement (UWES) evaluation. Among the results, there was a prevalence of workplace bullying of 9.2%. Nurses 37 years old or younger, working a rotating shifts and with stressful work, were more exposed to workplace bullying. Good levels of engagement were identi+ed (Mean = 4.3). Female nurses with partners and children, working +xed shifts, with 14 or more years of professional experience and who did not perceive their work stressful, presented higher levels of engagement. There was a negative relationship between workplace bullying and engagement. The results of this study suggest the need to invest in antibullying policies / procedures and occupational health programs to minimize the impact of workplace bullying and to promote the maintenance of good levels of engagement among nurses.
- Burnout among nurses: a multicentric comparative studyPublication . Borges, Elisabete; Queirós, Cristina Maria Leite; Abreu, Margarida; Mosteiro-Diaz, Maria Pilar; Baldonedo-Mosteiro, Maria; Baptista, Patrícia Campos Pavan; Felli, Vanda Elisa Andres; Almeida, Miriam Cristina Dos Santos; Silva, Silmar MariaObjetivo: 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.
