Abstract

Abstract: The research is based on the analysis of mental health indicators such as: bornout syndrome, stress, anxiety, depression, psychological inflexibility, loneliness and sleep disturbances in 40 health workers belonging to the Caluma, Echeandía and Las Naves cantons. Six instruments were applied: sociodemographic questionnaire, chronic work stress inventory (MBI-HSS), depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS-21), acceptance and action questionnaire (AAQ-II) 7, loneliness scale (UCLA -3) and the sleep quality index (PSQI). The following prevalences were obtained: low personal fulfillment 31.0%, high depersonalization 26.2% and 21.4% high emotional exhaustion; depression 11.9%, anxiety 9.5%, distress (7.1%), burnout 4.8%, sleep disturbances 2.4%. The levels of psychological inflexibility are at 15.31 on average and the loneliness average is 7.5. In conclusion, the Covid-19 pandemic mainly affected the symptoms of burnout, depression and anxiety in health workers, who do not perceive themselves as lacking in social support or psychologically inflexible.
