Objective: Study the prevalence of burnout and the salivary biomarkers in military police officers in the São Paulo health-care team who worked during the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil.
Method: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 104 participants distinguished by age, skin color, gender, military rank, function performed, length of service, use of medications, smoking, alcohol consumption, and income. The analysis of the social demographic data collected used an adapted Maslach Burnout Inventory and saliva examination through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The statistical tests of chi-square, PLS-DA, and hypothesis were fixed at the 95% confidence.
Results: The social demographic indicators presented statistical association with burnout, with chi-square 62.72 (p<0.05). The prevalence of burnout (80.77%) and risk of development (19.23%) were observed. The presence of biomarkers in saliva (amide, genetic fragments and polysaccharides) in those experiencing burnout aligned with current literature.
Conclusion: Of the total sample, 80.77% had burnout and 19.23% risk of developing the disease. Young white women, in the role of health assistants, with median income between 3 and 6 times the minimum wage and with less than 10 years of service`s length had the highest prevalence of burnout in relation to their peers. There was an association of social demographic indicators with measured stress levels. Salivary biomarkers were also associated with stress in the initial phase of burnout. There is a pressing need for further studies, aiming to support greater knowledge for this population researched.
Resumo
Objetivo: Mensurar a prevalência de burnout e de biomarcadores salivares em policiais militares do quadro de saúde de São Paulo que atuaram frente à pandemia do Covid-19.
Métodos: Realizado estudo observacional com corte transversal em amostra de 104 participantes estratificado por idade, cor da pele, gênero, patente militar, função desempenhada, tempo de serviço, uso de medicamentos, tabagismo, etilismo e renda econômica. A apuração dos dados sociodemográficos coletados utilizou o inventário de burnout de Maslach- adaptado e exame da saliva, através da espectroscopia de infravermelho por transformada de Fourier. Os testes estatísticos de qui-quadrado, de PLS-DA e de hipótese foram fixados em IC=95%.
Resultados: Quando em análise conjunta, os indicadores sociodemográficos apresentaram associação estatística com burnout, pelo p-valor de 62,72. Do total da amostra 80,77% apresentaram burnout e 19,23% apresentaram risco de desenvolvimento. Os testes salivares indicaram a presença de biomarcadores (amida, fragmentos genéticos e polissacarídeos) que reforçam os parâmetros validados de diagnóstico precoce para burnout.
Conclusões: Do total da amostra estudada, 80,77% apresentaram burnout e 19,23% risco de desenvolvimento da doença. Mulheres brancas, entre 30 a 40 anos, auxiliares de saúde, com mediana entre 03 e 06 salários mínimos e com menos de 10 anos de serviço apresentaram as prevalências mais altas do burnout quando comparados aos seus pares durante o enfrentamento do Covid-19. Houve associação dos indicadores sociodemográficos em sua totalidade em relação aos níveis mensurados de estresse. Biomarcadores salivares apresentaram associação com estresse na fase inicial.
