Perspectivas desde la salud ocupacional universitaria en Uruguay Close, María Noel Pisani, Adriana Tomasina, Fernando burnout residents Uruguay agotamiento profesional residentes Uruguay Situations of social, verbal, physical and psychological violence directly affect the professional development and health of medical residents both nationally and internationally. With the aim of analysing the working conditions and academic training of medical residents, reflective workshops were used to analyse accounts of typologies of work situations experienced during residency training in four public hospitals in the city of Montevideo. Work demands were identified that do not allow residents to reconcile work and rest times correctly, in addition to emotional demands, situations of violence and reduced room for manoeuvre when deciding how to carry out their work. The results obtained in the present investigation are consistent with findings obtained in other studies on the statistically significant association between burnout syndrome and being in residency, as well as workplace violence experienced by young doctors in the exercise of their residency. The experience presented here shows the importance of instances of collective reflection in academic and care contexts, articulating the knowledge coming from the field inhabited by medical residents and the academic knowledge focused on occupational health. Situaciones de violencia social, verbal, física y psicológica afectan directamente el desarrollo profesional y la salud de residentes médicos tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. Con el objetivo de analizar las condiciones de trabajo y formación académica de residentes médicos, a partir de talleres reflexivos, se analizaron relatos sobre tipologías de situaciones laborales vividas durante el desempeño de la residencia en cuatro hospitales públicos de la ciudad de Montevideo. Asimismo, se identificaron exigencias laborales que no permiten a los residentes conciliar los tiempos de trabajo con los tiempos de descanso correctamente, sumado a exigencias emocionales, situaciones de violencia y reducidos márgenes de maniobra a la hora de decidir cómo llevar adelante el trabajo. Los resultados obtenidos en la presente investigación son consistentes con hallazgos obtenidos en otros estudios sobre la asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el síndrome de burnout y estar cursando residencia, así como la violencia laboral experimentada por jóvenes médicos en el ejercicio de su residencia. De igual manera, la experiencia presentada da cuenta de la importancia de las instancias de reflexión colectiva en contextos académicos y asistenciales, articulando el saber proveniente del terreno que habitan residentes médicos y el saber académico enfocado en la salud en el trabajo.

Situations of social, verbal, physical and psychological violence directly affect the professional development and health of medical residents both nationally and internationally. With the aim of analysing the working conditions and academic training of medical residents, reflective workshops were used to analyse accounts of typologies of work situations experienced during residency training in four public hospitals in the city of Montevideo. Work demands were identified that do not allow residents to reconcile work and rest times correctly, in addition to emotional demands, situations of violence and reduced room for manoeuvre when deciding how to carry out their work.
The results obtained in the present investigation are consistent with findings obtained in other studies on the statistically significant association between burnout syndrome and being in residency, as well as workplace violence experienced by young doctors in the exercise of their residency. The experience presented here shows the importance of instances of collective reflection in academic and care contexts, articulating the knowledge coming from the field inhabited by medical residents and the academic knowledge focused on occupational health. |
