Resumo(s)
A satisfação laboral tem influência na qualidade dos cuidados de saúde prestados, nomeadamente dos terapeutas ocupacionais. Em Portugal, de acordo com a reorganização implementada na saúde mental em 2021, surgem as Equipas Comunitárias de Saúde Mental (ECSM). Na literatura não foram encontrados estudos que analisem a satisfação laboral e o bem-estar dos terapeutas ocupacionais nestas equipas. Analisar a satisfação laboral e o bem-estar dos terapeutas ocupacionais nas ECSM dos Serviços Locais de Saúde Mental (SLSM) em Portugal. Foi realizado um estudo misto uma vez que recorre a metodologia quantitativa, com um estudo observacional analítico com os instrumentos: Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) e Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) e metodologia qualitativa, através de um estudo exploratório com recurso a focus group. A amostra incluiu vinte e oito participantes, recrutados de forma não probabilística por conveniência. Os resultados do JSS demonstraram um nível intermédio de satisfação laboral. A remuneração, promoção e benefícios foram as dimensões com menor nível de satisfação. As mais elevadas foram a supervisão, natureza do trabalho e colegas de equipa. O WEMWBS revelou um nível de bem-estar mental moderado. A correlação entre o domínio natureza do trabalho e o bem-estar mental foi positiva de forma significativa estatisticamente, ou seja, o significado dado às tarefas que desempenham é um determinante positivo para o bem-estar mental dos terapeutas ocupacionais. Dos dados qualitativos foi notória a heterogeneidade da satisfação dos terapeutas de acordo com as diferentes Unidades Locais de Saúde, particularmente ao nível da valorização profissional. A necessidade de formação face à falta de conhecimento sentida sobre o conteúdo funcional da profissão entre colegas e a escassez de recursos e de espaços adequados para a intervenção são referidos de forma consensual, como barreiras para a prática dos profissionais. Os participantes apresentaram níveis de satisfação laboral e de bem-estar mental moderados. No entanto, as dificuldades descritas nos focus group realizados, tal como a falta de recursos, de reconhecimento e valorização profissional, bem como a necessidade de formação especializada, podem comprometer a qualidade e a eficácia das equipas na sua generalidade.
Job satisfaction influences the quality of healthcare provided, particularly by occupational therapists. In Portugal, following the reorganization of mental health services in 2021, Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) were created. No studies were identified in the literature that examine job satisfaction and well-being among occupational therapists working in these teams. To analyze the job satisfaction and well-being of occupational therapists in the ECSM of the Local Mental Health Services (LMHS) in Portugal. Methods: A mixed study was conducted, using quantitative methodology, with an analytical observational study using the following instruments: Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS), and qualitative methodology, through an exploratory study using focus groups. The sample included twenty-eight participants, recruited non-probabilistically for convenience. The JSS results showed an intermediate level of job satisfaction. Pay, promotion, and benefits were the dimensions with the lowest level of satisfaction. The highest were supervision, nature of work, and coworkers. The WEMWBS revealed a moderate level of well-being. The correlation between the nature of work domain and well-being was statistically significantly positive. The qualitative data revealed a notable heterogeneity in therapists' satisfaction across different Local Health Units, particularly in terms of professional recognition. The need for training due to the perceived lack knowledge about the functional content of the profession among colleagues and shortage of resources and suitable facilities for intervention are unanimously referred to as barriers to professional practice. Participants reported moderate levels of job satisfaction and well-being. However, the difficulties described in the focus groups, such as the lack of resources, professional recognition and valuing, as well as the need for specialized training, may compromise the quality and effectiveness of teams in general.
