Síndrome de burnout e estilo de vida em estudantes de ensino médio

Abstract

BACKGROUND: High school students deal with stressful experiences at this stage, such as the choice of which profession to follow and the training for admission exams, which may predispose to the development of Burnout Syndrome. AIM: This study aimed to verify the correlation between Burnout Syndrome and the lifestyle of high school students. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional and quantitative study performed with high school students. In order to collect data, we used the questionnaire "Fantastic Lifestyle" and "Maslach Burnout Inventory". In order to estimate and test the association between the dimensions of Burnout Syndrome and the lifestyle among students, we used the Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: This study was attended by 966 students, with a mean age of 16.61 years. We observed that 12.1% presented signs of Burnout Syndrome. We observed a negative relationship among emotional exhaustion and sleep, seatbelt, stress and safe sex (-0.225; p <0.001); disbelief and cigarettes and drugs (-0.206; p <0.001); and positive for professional effectiveness, family and friends (0.224; p <0.001), sleep, seatbelt, stress and safe sex (0.282; p <0.001) and introspection (0.245; p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We can be conclude that healthy life practices adopted by high school students can be related to low stress indexes at this stage.
