Resumo
A investigação tem demonstrado que o fenómeno de burnout apresenta incidência nos trabalhadores sociais, em específico nos profissionais de apoio infantil. No entanto, esta temática é pouco explorada nos profissionais que trabalham nas Comissões de Proteção de Crianças e Jovens (CPCJ). O presente estudo apresentava três objetivos. O primeiro objetivo foi descrever as práticas de autocuidado de técnicos das equipas da Comissão Restrita de Proteção de Crianças e Jovens (CRCPCJ). O segundo objetivo foi examinar associações entre as práticas de autocuidado pessoal e práticas de autocuidado profissional com as dimensões do burnout. Por fim, o terceiro objetivo foi examinar se existiam diferenças ao nível das práticas de autocuidado e burnout em função de características sociodemográficas. A amostra foi constituída por 91 participantes, sendo 92% do género feminino. A idade dos participantes variou entre os 21 e 64 anos de idade. Foi conduzido um inquérito online na plataforma Qualtrics para recolha de dados. Os resultados evidenciaram que as práticas de autocuidado pessoal mais recorrentes foram rir, participar em atividades que dão prazer e aceitação de ajuda por parte de outras pessoas. As práticas de autocuidado pessoal com menor frequência foram a prática de atos religiosos e exercício físico. Quanto às práticas de autocuidado profissionais, o direito a tirar férias, a capacidade de resolução de problemas e a procura de novos desafios profissionais foram as mais frequentes. No entanto, a reserva de tarefas laborais para horas específicas ao longo do dia de trabalho foram identificadas como menos frequentes pelos participantes. Quanto ao segundo objetivo, o estudo demonstrou que as práticas de autocuidado pessoal e as práticas de autocuidado profissional estavam positiva e fortemente relacionadas. As dimensões do burnout estavam significativamente correlacionadas entre si. Por fim, as práticas de autocuidado pessoal, as práticas de autocuidado profissional e o burnout face às características sociodemográficas demonstraram não estar associadas com o número de anos de experiência profissional, o número de processos atuais na CPCJ e o número de horas de formação. De igual forma, não foram encontradas diferenças nas práticas de autocuidado pessoal, as práticas de autocuidado profissional, o burnout em função do género e tempo em anos como membro das comissões restritas da CPCJ. No caso do nível de educação, foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas quanto às práticas de autocuidado profissional.
Research has shown that the phenomenon of burnout has an impact on social workers, specifically on child support professionals. However, this theme is little explored by professionals working in the Commissions for the Protection of Children and Young People (CPCJ). The present study had three objectives. The first objective was to describe the self-care practices of technicians from the Restricted Commission for the Protection of Children and Young People (CRCPCJ) teams. The second objective was to examine associations between personal self-care practices and professional self-care practices with burnout dimensions. Finally, the third objective was to examine whether there were differences in terms of self-care practices and burnout due to sociodemographic characteristics. The sample consisted of 91 participants, 92% of whom were female. The age of participants ranged from 21 to 64 years old. An online survey was conducted on the Qualtrics platform for data collection. The results showed that the most recurrent personal self-care practices were laughing, participating in activities that give pleasure and accepting help from others. The less frequent self-care practices were the practice of religious acts and physical exercise. As for professional self-care practices, the right to take vacations, the ability to solve problems and the search for new professional challenges were the most frequent. However, booking work tasks for specific hours throughout the working day were identified as less frequent by participants. As for the second objective, the study demonstrated that personal self-care practices and professional self-care practices were positively and strongly related. Burnout dimensions were significantly correlated with each other. Finally, personal self-care practices, professional self-care practices and burnout in the face of sociodemographic characteristics proved not to be associated with the number of years of professional experience, the number of current processes at the CPCJ and the number of training hours. Likewise, no differences were found in personal self-care practices, professional self-care practices, burnout as a function of gender and time in years as a member of the CPCJ's restricted committees. In the case of education level, statistically significant differences were found in terms of professional self-care practices.
