简要总结
Health professionals are extremely exposed to psychosocial risks, as they experience, in general, high levels of stress, anxiety, fatigue and suffering, due to the nature and location of their work. As a result, the health and well being of these professionals can be significantly compromised. In outbreaks of serious infectious diseases and pandemics, these risks become amplified and the health team is at greater risk of falling ill, presenting changes in mental health and psychological trauma, while caring for infected patients and becoming potential contaminants in their family and community.
The objective is to study the mental health of professionals who work in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) in Brazil, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary outcome will be the prevalence of burnout in the team involved with the care of critically ill children. Secondary outcomes such as anxiety, depression, quality of professional life, compassionate fatigue and post-traumatic stress disorder will be measured. Possible associations between demographic, work and coping variables (social support and resilience) with mental and emotional health outcomes will be investigated, in an exploratory character.
It is a multicenter, observational, longitudinal study, with a descriptive and exploratory analytical component. Data collection will be carried out through an electronic survey during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

结局指标
主要结局
Prevalence of burnout as measured by Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)
时间窗: Baseline
Proportion of participants positive for Burnout as measured by MBI (Maslach et al), a self-report standardized 22-item questionnaire covering 3 domains: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and personal accomplishment (PA). Each subscale includes Likert-scaled questions ranging from 0 (never) to 6 (every day). Higher EE and DP scores and lower PA scores, more severe Burnout. Further analysis will be done to evaluate associations between Burnout presence and severity and demographic and laboral characteristics.
次要结局

- Prevalence of Compassion Fatigue as measured by Professional Quality of Life 5 (ProQOL 5) scale(Baseline)
- Prevalence of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as measured by PTSD Checklist DSM-5 (PCL-5)(Baseline)
