Abstract

Background: The literature lacks conclusive evidence regarding whether palliative care training confers a protective or predisposing influence on compassion fatigue. The present study hypothesizes that training in palliative care is associated with minor compassion fatigue levels among physicians and an improvement in their confidence in several procedures.

Aim: To explore the physicians experiences with and without palliative care training who work as general practitioners in order to assess the prevalence of compassion fatigue in these groups.

Methods: This is a quantitative and qualitative cross-sectional survey. For data analysis, Mann-Whitney and Pearson's chi-squared test tests were used considering P < 0.05 for significance.

Results: The majority respondents had no training in palliative care (77.8%), however, 58.3% declared that they cared for at least 1 palliative care patient every 2 shifts - an intermediate frequency in our analysis. Trauma levels among doctors were classified as medium (24 ± 6), burnout as low (19 ± 5) and compassion as medium (41 ± 5). Professionals without training in palliative care had higher rates of burnout (P = 0.002), but there was no association between training and rates of trauma or compassion.

Conclusions: Doctors with training in palliative care in Brazil showed lower burnout rates when working as general practitioners in secondary hospitals. This could instigate the implementation of educational programs in palliative care at hospitals and the further development of the field so as to improve professionals' performance at patients' treatment. There was no difference between Trauma and Compassion scores.

探讨巴西姑息治疗训练与同情疲劳的相关性:一项横断面研究。
背景:关于姑息治疗训练对同情疲劳是否具有保护性或易感性的影响,文献缺乏确凿的证据。本研究假设,姑息治疗培训与医生的轻微同情疲劳水平和他们对几个程序的信心的提高有关。目的:探讨接受过和未接受过姑息治疗培训的全科医生的经验,以评估这些群体同情疲劳的患病率。方法:采用定量和定性的横断面调查方法。数据分析采用Mann-Whitney检验和Pearson卡方检验,考虑P < 0.05为显著性。结果:大多数受访者(77.8%)没有接受过姑息治疗方面的培训,然而,58.3%的受访者表示他们每2个班次至少照顾1名姑息治疗患者,这在我们的分析中属于中等频率。医生的创伤水平为中等(24±6),倦怠为低(19±5),同情为中等(41±5)。未接受过姑息治疗培训的专业人员的倦怠率较高(P = 0.002),但培训与创伤率或同情率之间没有相关性。结论:在巴西,接受过姑息治疗培训的医生在二级医院担任全科医生时,倦怠率较低。这可能会促使医院实施姑息治疗教育计划,并进一步发展该领域,以提高专业人员在患者治疗中的表现。创伤和同情的得分没有差别。
