Resumen
GARCIA-MOLINA, Cristian et al. Prevalence of burnout syndrome in Primary Care medicine and nursing professionals in accredited health centres for specialized training in two Alicante health areas. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.1, pp.35-39. Epub 04-Abr-2022. ISSN 2386-8201.
Objective:
to estimate the prevalence of burnout syndrome in physicians and nurses of accredited health centres for Specialized Health Training in Elda and Alicante-San Juan Health Areas.
Design:
Descriptive observational cross-sectional study.
Location:
a multicentre study performed by Primary Care professionals of two Health Departments in the Valencian Community.
Participants:
primary care healthcare professionals (physicians and nurses) from the Health Departments taking part.
Main measurements:
prevalence of burnout using the validated Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire and socio-demographic and work-related variables. A descriptive analysis of the qualitative variables was performed by calculating frequencies and comparison of proportions (Chi-square test) to analyze the association between them.
Results:
a total of 125 questionnaires were analyzed (response rate 54%). The prevalence of burnout was high: 56.8%, 39.2% and 36.0% revealed a high degree of emotional exhaustion (the most affected dimension), depersonalization and low personal fulfilment, respectively. The involvement of two subscales (moderate-severe burnout) was statistically significantly higher in medical professionals (P=0.002). No statistically significant association was observed between burnout and sociodemographic and work-related variables.
Conclusions:
the prevalence of burnout is high in primary care medical and nursing professionals.
