Abstract(s)

Introduction: Stress, sleep quality and burnout represent a psychosocial problematic with serious consequences at the individual, organizational and public health levels. Health and education professionals are considered high-risk groups, due to the multiple psychological and emotional demands in the work context. Purpose:This project intends to study the population (health technicians of the Hospital and University Center of Coimbra and the teaching staff in Coimbra Health School) regarding both stress and burnout levels and later understand their impact on the quality of sleep of the same. Methodology: The study design used was an observational and cross-sectional study. The simple random sample consisted of 63 professionals (49 health technicians and 14 teachers), 16 male and 47 female, in the age range of 22 to 65 years, with an average age of 45.27 years and standard deviation of 10,238 years. The research instruments used were: socio-demographic questionnaire, "Stress Perceived Scale (PSS)", "Maslach Burnout Inventory- General Survey (MBI- GS)" and "Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index". Results: Most individuals presented high levels of burnout and poor sleep quality. Regarding the Emotional Exhaustion index, the majority of professionals (58.5%) who showed poor sleep quality, showed greater exhaustion in the daily life compared to the group with good sleep quality (33.3%). At the level of Professional Depersonalization, both groups indicated a high level of depersonalization, regardless of sleep quality. Conclusions: We can conclude that along with high levels of work stress professionals tend physiologically to alter their well-being which in this case has translated into quality sleep.
