BRITO-ORTIZ, J.F. et al. Psychosocial factors, psychological stress, and burnout in nursing: a model of trajectories. Enferm. univ [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.2, pp.138-148. ISSN 2395-8421. https://doi.org/10.22201/eneo.23958421e.2019.2.634.
Introduction:
Nurses frequently face different events associated with stress, psychosocial factors, and other issues which have impacts on their mental health.
Objective:
To assess the correlation between psychological demand, work control, social support, psychological stress, and burnout dimensions (illusion for the activity, psychic wear, indolence, guilt), within a model of trajectories among Mexican nurses.
Methodology:
This is a transversal, observational, and analytical study conducted on a convenience sample of 357 nursing professionals from the state of Morelos, Mexico. Data were gathered using three questionnaires, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Job Content Questionnaire, y el Maslach Burnout Inventory. SPSS 19 and LISREL 8.3 were used to process and model the data.
Results:
Psychological Stress was specified as the mediating variable of the psychosocial factors and dimensions of burnout within the model of trajectories. Adjustment indexes were acceptable. High levels of social support, work control, and illusion for the activity were found. Moderate degrees of psychological demand and psychological stress were found. Low levels of psychic wear, indolence, and guilt were found.
Conclusion:
It is recommended to implement effective intervention strategies to maintain nursing personnel within low levels of psychological demand, high levels of work control, high levels of social support, and moderate levels of stress, all these in order to prevent the Syndrome of Burnout.
