NEGLECT IN THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH CARE OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Keywords
Abstract
The health area is composed of a multiprofessional team, and each sector of activity has an extreme impact on the quality of life of each patient, considering that their demands are also multidisciplinary. However, even with the stratification of care and division of functions among the responsible team, there is still a significant overload of health professionals, especially in the hospital setting. This overload is reflected in factors such as professional exhaustion or burnout syndrome, which is one of the pillars of neglect regarding physical and mental self-care among health professionals. Likewise, lack of time, poor pay, lack of professional appreciation, poor working conditions, and emotional overload are other examples of factors that contribute to this scenario. With this in mind, this study aims to review the main conditions associated with the self-neglect of health professionals, with regard to physical and mental health, bringing together factors common to all areas of activity and with emphasis on nursing and medical services.
