Síndrome de burnout em enfermeiros

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em EnfermagemO projeto de investigação, intitulado “Síndrome de Burnout em enfermeiros”, foi realizado no âmbito da unidade curricular de Projeto de Graduação integrada no 4º ano da Licenciatura de Enfermagem da Universidade Fernando Pessoa. A síndrome de burnout é descrita como "uma síndrome de exaustão emocional, despersonalização, e redução da realização pessoal, que pode ocorrer entre indivíduos que trabalham com outras pessoas.” (Maslach, Jackson e Leiter, 1996). A evidência científica mostra que, nos profissionais dedicados à ajuda e serviço aos outros, com metas elevadas e que não as conseguem concretizar, observa-se a perda do significado do trabalho realizado (Schaufeli, Leiter e Maslach, 2008). Também segundo Schaufeli, et al. (2008), a frustração e desilusão, decorrentes de um confronto generalizado e institucionalizado de valores utilitaristas e organizacionais com os valores pessoais ou profissionais, contribuem ainda mais para a síndrome de burnout. A presente investigação tem como objetivo identificar os diferentes níveis de burnout em Enfermeiros a trabalhar em hospitais na zona Norte de Portugal. Para este efeito, teve-se em consideração as três dimensões que o burnout compreende: a fadiga física, a exaustão emocional e a fadiga cognitiva, através da utilização do instrumento Medida de Burnout de Shirom-Melamed (MBSM), adaptado para a população portuguesa por A. Rui Gomes (2012). Ao nível metodológico trata-se de um estudo tipo quantitativo, descritivo e transversal. A população estudada é composta por enfermeiros que desempenham funções em diferentes serviços de hospitais na zona Norte do país, sendo a amostra constituída por 49 enfermeiros. Os resultados obtidos, permitem afirmar que de acordo com a escala utilizada, a maioria dos Enfermeiros que integra o estudo não apresenta valores indicativos da síndrome de burnout, com exceção dos Enfermeiros que trabalham no serviço de urologia.The research project, entitled “Burnout Syndrome in nurses”, was conducted within the scope of the Graduation Project course unit, in the Nursing Degree’s 4th year. Burnout syndrome is classified as "a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduction of personal fulfillment, which can occur among individuals who work with other people." (Maslach, Jackson and Leiter, 1996). Scientific evidence points out that, in professionals dedicated to helping and serving others, with high goals and who fail to achieve them, there is a loss of the meaning of the work performed (Schaufeli, Leiter and Maslach, 2008). Also, according to Schaufeli, et al. (2008), frustration and disillusionment, resulting from a generalized and institutionalized confrontation of utilitarian and organizational values with personal or professional values, contribute even more to the burnout syndrome. This research aims to identify the different levels of burnout in nurses working in hospitals and clinics in the Northern Portugal area. For this purpose, the three dimensions that burnout comprises were taken into account: physical fatigue, emotional exhaustion and cognitive fatigue, through the administration of the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (MBSM), adapted for the portuguese population by A. Rui Gomes (2012). The instrument that was used is a questionnaire consisting of two parts. The first part is intended for the presentation of the study, and for the collection of sociodemographic information of the participants. The second part consists of the aforementioned Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (MBSM). At the methodological level, this is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study. The studied population was composed of 49 nurses who work in hospitals and in the Northern Portugal area.N/

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The Genome of Anopheles darlingi, the main neotropical malaria vector

Anopheles darlingi is the principal neotropical malaria vector, responsible for more than a million cases of malaria per year on the American continent. Anopheles darlingi diverged from the African and Asian malaria vectors ∼100 million years ago (mya) and successfully adapted to the New World environment. Here we present an annotated reference A. darlingi genome, sequenced from a wild population of males and females collected in the Brazilian Amazon. A total of 10 481 predicted protein-coding genes were annotated, 72% of which have their closest counterpart in Anopheles gambiae and 21% have highest similarity with other mosquito species. In spite of a long period of divergent evolution, conserved gene synteny was observed between A. darlingi and A. gambiae. More than 10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms and short indels with potential use as genetic markers were identified. Transposable elements correspond to 2.3% of the A. darlingi genome. Genes associated with hematophagy, immunity and insecticide resistance, directly involved in vectorhuman and vectorparasite interactions, were identified and discussed. This study represents the first effort to sequence the genome of a neotropical malaria vector, and opens a new window through which we can contemplate the evolutionary history of anopheline mosquitoes. It also provides valuable information that may lead to novel strategies to reduce malaria transmission on the South American continent.

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Neotropical freshwater fisheries : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics

The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distribution records, with unique georeferenced coordinates, for the 4225 species, represented by occurrence and abundance data. The number of species for the most numerous orders are as follows: Characiformes (1289), Siluriformes (1384), Cichliformes (354), Cyprinodontiformes (245), and Gymnotiformes (135). The most recorded species was the characid Astyanax fasciatus (4696 records). We registered 116,802 distribution records for native species, compared to 1802 distribution records for nonnative species. The main aim of the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set was to make these occurrence and abundance data accessible for international researchers to develop ecological and macroecological studies, from local to regional scales, with focal fish species, families, or orders. We anticipate that the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set will be valuable for studies on a wide range of ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, fishery pressure, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation, and the impacts of species invasion and climate change.
