| Sumario: | Burnout is define as a Syndrome characterized by high emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and lack of personal accomplishment (PA).
The aim of this study was to determine Burnout prevalence among health team residents of a children hospital and its associations with sociodemographic variables and working conditions.
First year pediatric health team residents of the Children's Hospital of Córdoba were invited to participate. The validated Maslach Burnout Inventory / MBI questionnaire (anonymous and voluntary) was applied them three times; one, six and twelve months after the begining of the program. Demographic data (age, sex, cohabitatnts, children) and working conditions (specialty, 12 or 24 hour shift, rotation service) were recorded. Summary and dispersion measures, relative frequency and percentages were used. The variables were analyzed using chi 2 (X2), assuming significant p value <0.05.
40 participants were included (65% pediatrics, 35% others). 90% were female. The average age was 26 years (range 23-33). 40% lived with their family, 35% alone and 20% with a partner. The overall prevalence of Burnout was 40%, 55% and 48%, the first, 6th and 12nd month, respectively, and high EE values showed 62% -72% -62%. High depersonalization rates were decreasing (75% -55% -52%) and low PA levels progressively increased (19% -30% -37%). People who performed 24-hour duty shift was associated with a higher prevalence of Burnout (p = 0.006). The specialties of Biochemistry and Pediatrics presented high percentage of Burnout (67% and 58 %% respectively).
It can be concluded that Burnout showed high prevalence in residents during the first year (40%), which increased six months after the begining of residency (55%). 24-hour duty shift performing was significantly associated with this syndrome. It would be important to carry out interventions to reduce the negative impact on the profesional´s health and on the quality of the health services giving. |
