Abstract(s)
O exercício profissional nas organizações de saúde tem evidenciado impacto negativo, na
saúde dos trabalhadores e na qualidade dos cuidados prestados, pelo que o engagement no trabalho
assume particular relevância. Este estudo identifica os níveis de engagement nos profissionais de
saúde de um centro hospitalar do Norte de Portugal considerando a sua relação com variáveis
sociodemográficas e profissionais. Aplicou-se um questionário online para caraterização
sociodemográfica e profissional e a Utrecht Work Engagement Scale a 325 profissionais. Verificou-se
que os níveis engagement (9 itens) dos trabalhadores revelaram-se semelhantes. As suas dimensões
mostram valores superiores no Vigor e Dedicação. Os Trabalhadores sem filhos, com menos
experiência, Técnicos superiores, do Departamento Ambulatório e Ligação funcional, precários ou que
não consideram o seu trabalho stressante apresentaram níveis médios mais elevados de Vigor. Já a
dimensão Dedicação, surge com níveis superiores nos trabalhadores sem filhos, do género feminino,
com contrato precário, menos experientes e que não consideram o seu trabalho stressante. Na
Absorção, os valores médios mais elevados surgem nos trabalhadores que não consideram o seu
trabalho stressante. Os resultados apontam para a consciencialização dos trabalhadores, gestores e
organizações da importância da implementação de estratégias promotoras de saúde, para
incrementar o Vigor, a Dedicação e Absorção destes profissionais
Professional practice in healthcare settings has negatively impacted workers' health and the quality of care provided, highlighting engagement at work as being particularly important. This study identifies the levels of engagement among health professionals at a hospital centre in the north of Portugal, considering its relationship with sociodemographic and professional variables. An online questionnaire for sociodemographic and professional characterisation and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were applied to 325 professionals. Results showed similar workers' engagement levels (9 items). Their dimensions showed higher values in Vigour and Dedication. Workers without children, with less experience, senior technicians, workers from the Outpatient Department and Functional Liaisons, workers with precarious contracts or who did not find their work stressful had higher average levels of Vigour. In the Dedication dimension, higher levels were found in workers without children, women, with precarious contracts, those less experienced, and those who did not find their work stressful. In the Absorption dimension, the average values were higher among workers who did not find their work stressful. These study results call for the attention of workers, managers, and organisations to the importance of implementing health-promoting strategies to increase these professionals' Vigour, Dedication, and Absorption.
