Resumen
RANCHAL SANCHEZ, Antonio y VAQUERO ABELLAN, Manuel. Burnout, variables fisiológicas y antropométricas: un estudio en el profesorado. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2008, vol.54, n.210, pp.47-55. ISSN 1989-7790.
Previous studies have so far pointed out that papers correlating the Maslach Burnout Inventory with biological items are required. Therefore we have correlated the three test dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and professional accomplishment) with physiological (blood pressure), and biochemical measurements (glucose and cholesterol serum levels) as well as the Body Mass Index in a random sample of 186 secondary teachers who attended the occupational medical exam in June 2005. Our results show a significant difference between the personal accomplishment item and the Body Mass Index (p<0.05). So we conclude that the better personal accomplishment you have, the better Body Mass Index you have. Moreover, none of the Maslach Burnout Inventory items were correlated either with high arterial pressure or with biochemical parameters, but correlated with the age item (p< 0.05).
