Síndrome de Burnout y su relación con variables sociodemográficas en los médicos y enfermeras de un Dispensario Médico Público en la ciudad de Quito, durante el año 2017

Abstract

Abstract:The general goal was to evaluate the prevalence of the Burnout Syndrome and identify if there is a relation between the syndrome and the demographic variables such as age, gender and marital status. The evaluation was applied to 28 doctors and 10 nurses, by the use of 6 instruments: Test on Socio-Demographic and Labor variables AD-HOC, Test MBI-HSS (Maslach Burnout Inventory), Goldberg´s General Health Questionnaire (Mental Health Test GHQ-28), BRIEFCOPE Questionnaire, Sherbourne and Cols Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey, and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire EPQR-A. With the end results of the MBI test, it is seen that none of the health professionals evaluated, showed the classic characteristics of a person with Burnout Syndrome. By not having Burnout cases in the selected sample, it was not possible to stablish relations with demographic variables. It is recommended to permanently monitor the situation of medical professionals working in the organization to adequately prevent the prevalence of this síndrome.
