Los cinco grandes rasgos de personalidad asociados al síndrome de Burnout: Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This Curriculum Integration Project arose from clinical experience with adults, where several cases of burnout were observed in professionals exposed to work-related stress and high emotional burden. This prompted an investigation into the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and burnout syndrome. Several studies highlighted that personality traits such as conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness decrease the likelihood of developing this condition; however, traits such as neuroticism maintain a connection with depersonalization and emotional exhaustion, suggesting that these traits act as a risk factor for burnout. Furthermore, the analyzed studies indicate that if the distress persists over time without any treatment, it can lead to the development of generalized anxiety disorder. Finally, a fictitious clinical case study was conducted, taking into account the personality profile of a patient suffering from burnout who developed generalized anxiety disorder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was the appropriate treatment for this clinical case, considering the individual context and the diagnosis.
