Abstract

Stress is the result of the relationship between the individual and the productive environment, interfering in professional capacity and quality of life. This study aimed at analyzing the impact of stress on the quality of life and health behavior of multiprofessional residents of a university hospital. This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted with all multiprofessional health residents (RMS) (n = 98) of a teaching hospital. Validated questionnaires were used: WHOQOLBREF, evaluating quality of life; National College Health Risk Behavior Survey, to evaluate health behaviors and the 'Lipp Adult Stress Symptom Inventory' for stress evaluation.Student's t-test, chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were applied, obtaining that most (n = 63; 64%) of the RMS showed no sign of stress and 46% (n = 35) some level of stress, being 85% in the resistance phase. Stressed RMS were found to have significantly lower QoL in the physical, psychological, and overall QoL domains (p <0.05). Health behaviors were associated to stress only with suicide attempt (p = 0.0005), other behaviors: tobacco usage, eating behavior, physical activity, alcohol and other drugs usage, sexual behavior, safety in the workplace, traffic and violence-related behaviors were not associated (p> 0.05). It is concluded that the decrease in the quality of life of stress-stricken RMS is worrying, and even with few changes in health behavior with exposure to stress among the investigated, it is defended the relevance and severity of the finding in relation to the variable attempt to suicide.

O estresse é resultado da relação entre o indivíduo e seu ambiente produtivo interferindo na capacidade profissional e na qualidade de vida. O presente estudo objetivou analisar o impacto do estresse na qualidade de vida e condutas de saúde de residentes multiprofissionais de um hospital universitário. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, quantitativo, realizado junto a totalidade de residentes multiprofissionais em saúde (RMS) (n=98) de um hospital de ensino. Utilizou-se questionários validados: WHOQOL-BREF, avaliando-se a qualidade de vida; National College Health Risk Behavior Survey, para avaliar condutas de saúde e o 'Inventário de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos de Lipp' para avaliação do estresse. Aplicou-se testes t de student, qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher, obtendo-se que a maioria (n=63; 64%) dos RMS não apresentou nenhum sinal de estresse e 46% (n=35) algum nível de estresse, sendo 85% na fase resistência. Verificou-se que os RMS com estresse apresentaram QV significativamente menor nos domínios físico, psicológico meio ambiente e QV global (p<0,05). Às condutas de saúde, houve associação de estresse apenas com tentativa de suicídio (p=0,0005), as demais condutas: uso do tabaco, comportamento alimentar, prática de atividade física, uso do álcool e outras drogas, comportamento sexual, segurança no trânsito e comportamentos relacionados à violência, não apresentaram associação (p>0,05). Conclui-se que a queda na qualidade de vida dos RMS com estresse é preocupante, e mesmo com poucas mudanças de condutas de saúde com a exposição ao estresse entre os investigados, defende-se a relevância e a gravidade do achado em relação à variável tentativa de suicídio.
