Abstract

Abstract: The present research work aims to determine the factors associated with burnout in formal caregivers in the public and private sectors of the province of Manabí during the year 2024, through a quantitative, non-experimental study with a cross-sectional and descriptive design, with a sample of 35 formal caregivers, to whom the following instruments were applied: Ad Hoc Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale, the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL V), the Empathy Burnout Syndrome Scale, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). According to the results, it was found that most of the formal caregivers did not have a heavy workload, had stable mental health, a moderate level of empathy fatigue, and a low level of burnout syndrome. In conclusion, the formal caregivers evaluated possess the necessary personal and psychological factors to manage their professional area, as reflected in the absence of a heavy workload, job satisfaction, and personal fulfillment.
