Abstract

Abstract: The present study aims to analyze the presence of Burnout Syndrome in the health personnel of two private institutions located in the north and south of the city of Quito, and the relationship the syndrome could show with age. For this study, six psychological instruments were applied to 37 health professionals (24 doctors and 13 nurses) belonging to two private institutions, located to the north and south of the city. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive and transversal exploratory design. The results show a significant correlation between age and depersonalization. A marked presence of Burnout Syndrome in the different institutions cannot be observed and significant similarities between age and the remaining variables (burnout, emotional exhaustion and personal fulfillment) are not evident.
