- Burnout and coping strategies among Professors during COVID-19: Portugal-Brazil comparative studyPublication . Pinto, Ana; Carvalho, Carla; Rodriguez, Susana; Simões, Ana; Carvalhais, Carlos; Gonçalves, Fernando J.; Santos, JoanaThe global pandemic experienced in recent years led Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to close their facilities to safeguard the health and safety of the academic community. This reality overloaded professors in terms of work, often leading them to the limit of exhaustion and impacting on their performance, quality of life and well-being, taking, in many cases, to burnout. This study aims to identify and characterize the frequency of burnout and strategies of coping in professors from HEIs of Portugal and Brazil. A sample of 132 professors answered to online self-administrated questionnaires: sociodemographic and telework conditions; Oldenburg-Burnout Inventory and Brief-COPE. The results suggest that: regarding burnout, the exhaustion dimension is higher among professors in Portugal; regarding coping strategies, professors in Brazil use more strategies designated as maladaptive. Appropriate coping strategies and resources made available to professors can contribute to their well-being at work and to their quality of life and happiness.

- Relationship between new technologies and burnout: A systematic literature reviewPublication . Pinto, Ana; Sousa, Sara; Santos, JoanaThe rise of digitization in workplaces is transforming how work is managed, presenting both advantages and challenges for safety and health. While new technologies can create safer work environments, they can also contribute to high performance pressure, which negatively affects workers' mental health. This has led to the emergence of psychosocial risks, such as Burnout Syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the link between the introduction of new technologies in workplaces and the development of Burnout Syndrome. A systematic literature review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology, focusing on the Web of Science database. The reviewed studies revealed that the scientific community is increasingly discussing this topic, with 66% of the studies being conducted in the last four years. The health sector was the most extensively researched area in this field. The findings suggest that the increase in Burnout Syndrome is associated with insufficient information and training for workers, as well as their insecurity in using advanced technologies.
