Abstract

Discussing the factors associated with major depression and suicide risk among nursing professionals. An integrative review in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO and BDENF databases, between 2003 and 2015. 20 published articles were selected, mostly from between 2012 and 2014, with significant production in Brazil. Nursing professionals are vulnerable to depression when young, married, performing night work and having several jobs, and when they have a high level of education, low family income, work overload, high stress, insufficient autonomy and a sense of professional insecurity and conflict in the family and workrelationship. Suicide risk was correlated with the presence of symptoms of depression, high levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal accomplishment; characteristics of Burnout Syndrome. Suicide risk among nursing professionals is associated with symptoms of depression and correlated with Burnout Syndrome, which can affect work performance. Discutir sobre os fatores associados à depressão maior e risco de suicídio entre profissionais de enfermagem. Revisão integrativa em bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO e BDENF, entre 2003 e 2015. Selecionaram-se 20 artigos publicados, a maioria entre 2012 e 2014, com significativa produção no Brasil. Os profissionais de enfermagem são vulneráveis à depressão quando jovens, casados, realizam trabalho noturno e possuem vários empregos, e quando apresentam alto nível educacional, baixa renda familiar, sobrecarga de trabalho, estresse elevado, insuficiente autonomia e sentimento de insegurança profissional, conflitos no relacionamento familiar e no trabalho. Risco de suicídio foi correlacionado com a presença de sintomas de depressão, alto nível de exaustão emocional, despersonalização e baixa realização pessoal; características da Síndrome de Burnout. Risco de suicídio entre os profissionais de enfermagem está associado a sintomas depressivos e os correlacionados com a Síndrome de Burnout, prejudicando o desempenho profissional.

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 July 2018.
All research outputs
#8,261,140
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da USP
#70
of 772 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#119,884
of 395,397 outputs

#1
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 772 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 395,397 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
