Prevalencia de la salud mental, capital psicológico y satisfacción laboral

Abstract

Abstract: This study looks at how important emotional and physical health is for caregivers working in Santa Elena province. The main goal was to figure out what causes burnout for these caregivers in 2024. To do that, we used a straightforward approach, collecting information with a few different questionnaires, like one about their background and work, the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview, the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL V) to measure compassion satisfaction and fatigue, the Empathy Fatigue Inventory (IDE), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The results showed that many caregivers, especially women, are dealing with a lot of emotional exhaustion and empathy fatigue, along with a negative view of their health. Basically, we need to create a better, more supportive work environment. By focusing on prevention, providing emotional support, and encouraging self-care, we can help caregivers feel better overall, which will also boost the quality of care they give.
