Results
In this study,
99.2% of radiographers worked in a facility with emergency department,
87.4% worked in rotating shifts and 53% are job satisfied.
26.9% of the study sample presented an average level of Emotional Exhaustion (Fig. 1) ,
26.1% of Depersonalization (Fig. 2) and 42.9% of Professional Accomplishment.
(Fig. 3)
The EE,
D and PA dimensions revealed moderate levels of burnout.
For the Emotional Exhaustion dimension,
it was verified that a mean of 20.34,
which indicates moderate levels of Burnout.
The Depersonalization presented a mean of 6,71,
also being in the average (6 to 9),
so we found a moderate level of Burnout.
The Professional Accomplishment dimension presented a mean of 34.50,
showing average levels (31 to 39). (Table 2)
According to Pearson´s correlation analysis (Table 3) ,
there is a direct relationship between the three variables,
although weak,
among the subscales of the MBI scale.
The correlation is stronger between the dimensions Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization and the dimension Personal Accomplishment is inversely related to the remaining MBI subscales.
Therefore,
the higher the level of Personal Accomplishment,
lower will be the relationship between Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization perceived by the Radiographer.
