Abstract
More detailed involvement is demanded from mental health professionals with their patients, given that in cases of patients with serious illnesses, the treatment can be prolonged for many years. Thus, the present study’s aim was to characterize the sociodemographic profile of mental health professionals, to verify the impact of their work, and to compare this impact on mental health professionals as regards gender. This study was carried out with 32 mental health professionals from a psychiatric institution. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the IMPACT-BR scale were applied to collect the relevant data. An overall average score of 1.63 ± 0.56 was registered. The subscale in which the highest level of impact was reported is related to the emotional repercussions of work, with an average of 1.97 ±1.13. The obtained data demonstrated that the highest level of impact was related to the emotional repercussions of work. The findings of the remaining subscales demonstrated a low impact on mental health professionals from a psychiatric institution.
