Abstract
ZAMBRANO-BOHORQUEZ, Bélgica; VILLARIN-CASTRO, Alejandro; MUNOZ-BODAS, Francisco and GOMEZ-REY, Isabel. Burnout syndrome, resilience and fear of COVID-19 in healthcare professionals during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.3, pp.134-142. Epub Nov 28, 2022. ISSN 2386-8201.
Objective:
to report the relationship between Burnout, levels of resilience and fear of COVID-19 in health professionals working in Toledo Primary Care Management (GAPTO) during the health emergency due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
Design:
descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study.
Location:
GAPTO, Spain
Participants:
96 GAPTO medical and nursing professionals
Main measurements:
the variables included were: sociodemographic characteristics, working conditions, burnout, resilience and fear of COVID-19.
Results:
the prevalence of burnout syndrome was 36.5%, the risk of developing burnout was 28.1%. A total of 50% of professionals underwent an alteration on the emotional exhaustion subscale, which may or may not be associated with alterations on the other subscales. A total of 42.7% of the population shows low resilience; 45.8%, 43.8% and 10.4% have little, moderate and a high fear of COVID-19. An inverse association was detected between burnout syndrome and resilience. A relationship was also found between the fear of COVID-19 and burnout. Resilience and fear of COVID-19 have a stronger association than the rest of the variables. Other variables related to the presence of burnout were the profession and the department where the professionals work.
Conclusions:
burnout syndrome affects a high proportion of health professionals working in GAPTO, Spain, in the framework of the COVID-19 pandemic. Emotional exhaustion is the predominantly affected subscale, which is related to levels of resilience and fear of COVID-19.
