ABSTRACT:
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Allied Health Professionals (DTAHPs) working in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy (MIR) are exposed to multiple occupational stress factors. Prolonged exposure to these factors is associated with an increased risk of negative mental health consequences. On this subject, data concerning the Portuguese context remain limited. This study aims to characterize the stress vulnerability, burnout levels, and positive mental health of DTAHPs in MIR in Portugal. A two-phase mixed-methods study will be conducted. The quantitative phase will consist of the distribution of online questionnaires, including the Burnout Inventory, the Stress Vulnerability Questionnaire, and the Positive Mental Health Questionnaire. The qualitative phase will consist of a focus group to explore perceptions regarding: mental health, risk factors, beliefs, and help-seeking behaviors. The study is expected to identify the prevalence and dimensions of burnout, the levels of stress vulnerability, and positive mental health among Portuguese DTAHPs in MIR. The study will support the development of targeted interventions and strategies to promote the psychological well-being and resilience of these professionals.
