SANCHES, Vinícius Santos et al. Burnout and Quality of Life on a Multi-professional Residency: a Two-Year Longitudinal Study. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2016, vol.40, n.3, pp.430-436. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v40n3e01022015.

The training process for health professionals constitutes a challenge for managers and educators since the procedures for stimulating professional, interpersonal, and human skills stand on a complex basis. Multi-professional Residence Programs (MRP) are somewhat cutting-edge in Brazil, based on the fact that they encourage active and participative multidisciplinary practices in health care. It was in this context that this study investigated student stress and quality of life during the two years spent on an MRP, with the practical scenario involving highly complex assistance administered to critically ill patients. Over the course of the two years, we were able to identify an increase in student stress levels, strongly related to a decrease in their quality of life. Many physical and psychological factors are linked to the results, and should generate debate within the academic structuring cores of each residence on measures which may be taken to better foster student welfare.
