Síndrome de desgaste profesional y sintomatología depresiva en trabajadores de la salud: revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica.

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration work examines the relationship between burnout and depression in health personnel, identified during practical experiences in a clinical context. With this, a research question was formulated and a systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted to analyze the connection between both variables in this population. The research identified an important relationship between both problems, being the depersonalization dimension the one that showed the most consistent association with depressive symptomatology in most of the analyzed studies. With these findings, a simulated clinical case was elaborated on a surgeon with a diagnosis of moderate depression. The case included presentation data, reason for consultation, clinical history, diagnostic evaluation and an intervention plan. This allowed to better understand the interaction between both variables and to apply in a simulated setting intervention strategies from the cognitive behavioral approach such as cognitive restructuring, coping training, etc. Overall, this process allowed us to coherently articulate theoretical knowledge, supervised clinical practice and critical analysis based on the scientific literature.
