Abstract

Abstract: The present investigation was carried out in order to determine the prevalence of burnout in health professionals of a public institution in the province of Loja. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, exploratory and descriptive methodology was used to identify the relationship between burnout syndrome and its three dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low self-realization) with personality traits in a accessibility, non-probabilistic and accidental sample of 50 participants. The results indicate a prevalence of burnout syndrome in physicians at 4%. The physicians presented 40% in emotional exhaustion, 20% in depersonalization and 60% in low personal fulfillment, while the nursing staff in emotional exhaustion obtained 0%, depersonalization 8% and low personal accomplishment 52%. There is a very significant correlation between neuroticism and emotional exhaustion, neuroticism and depersonalization, as well as a significant correlation between extroversion and depersonalization.
