Resumo:
O contexto laboral nos hospitais portugueses, caracterizado pelos cortes económicos, pode contribuir para o aumento dos níveis de burnout sentidos pelo pessoal de enfermagem. Além disso, a vulnerabilidade ao stress que se verifica nestes profissionais tem um impacto negativo na perceção do stress em contexto de trabalho. No entanto, o empowerment estrutural é um processo organizacional que pode prevenir e aliviar o burnout neste coletivo de profissionais. Neste sentido, este estudo tem como objetivo comprovar o papel preditor do empowerment estrutural e a vulnerabilidade ao stress sobre o burnout numa amostra de enfermeiros portugueses. Foi utilizada uma amostra por conveniência de 297 profissionais enfermeiros de hospitais de Portugal (62,13% de taxa de resposta). O core burnout relacionou-se de forma negativa e significativa com todas as dimensões do empowerment estrutural, e de forma positiva com a vulnerabilidade ao stress. Os modelos de regressão linear múltipla mostraram como preditores significativos do core burnout o acesso a recursos, o acesso a oportunidades e a vulnerabilidade ao stress. As administrações devem conceber intervenções centradas no empowerment estrutural, mas também em intervenções individuais que melhorem as capacidades de coping face ao stress do pessoal de enfermagem.

Abstract:
The work context in Portuguese hospitals, characterized by the scarcity of economic resources, can lead to higher levels of burnout perceived by nursing staff. Also, stress vulnerability can negatively affect the perception of burnout in the workplace. However, structural is an organizational process that can prevent and decrease burnout among nurses. Consequently, the aim of the study was to examine to what extent structural empowerment and stress vulnerability predict core burnout in a sample of Portuguese nurses. A convenience sample of 297 nursing staff members from Portuguese hospitals was used in this study (return rate 62,13%). Core burnout was negatively and significantly related to all the dimensions of structural empowerment, and it was positively and significantly related to stress vulnerability. Regression models showed that core burnout was significantly predicted by access to resources, access to opportunities and stress vulnerability. Organizational administrations must make every effort in designing interventions focused on structural empowerment, as well as interventions focused on individual interventions that enhance coping skills in nursing staff.
