Methods: Descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out in four pediatric hospitals in Havana city in December, 2019. The validated Maslach Bournout Inventory questionnaire was applied. For statistical analysis, the presence of the syndrome was defined in three dimensions, if the corresponding score was high; or if presenting some moderate or low dimension, it was classified as prone. Quantitative data on variables were examined through central trend measures and variability.
Results: The sample characterization showed that the female sex was observed in 91.0% with ages 33.4% under the age of 30 and 66.6% were single; 36.3% of the residents were in the first and second year and 35.5% in the third year. The syndrome was observed in 6% of respondents and 84.4% of the population was classified as prone.
