Burnout y desarrollo de síntomas psicosomáticos en adultos: una revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This investigation addresses burnout as a source of psychosomatic symptoms in adults, a problem identified through practical experience in the field of clinical psychology. Based on the topic of interest, a research question and a systematic review of the literature were developed to determine whether there is a relationship between burnout and the development of psychosomatic symptoms in this population. The results indicated a marked correlation between both variables. Based on the evidence, a simulated clinical case was developed of an adult in a tense work environment associated with physical and psychological discomfort. This included identifying information, the reason for consultation, a psychological evaluation, and a case-focused treatment plan. The analysis of the relationship between the two variables allowed for a holistic approach to the case. This project integrated theory, professional practice, and scientific evidence, fostering a preventive approach to workplace risk factors that directly influence the psychological and physical well-being of adults.
