A descriptive study of 57 assistance workers belonging to Bolívar's Municipal Hospital, in Colombia, was carried out to determine the prevalence of the burnout syndrome that they presented, reason why some variables of interest were analyzed (age, occupation, sex, economic stratum, marital status, escolarity and company seniority) and as instrument, the survey of the Maslach Burnout Inventory method was used. The disorder was detected in 6 workers (10.5%) who presented high levels of emotional exhaustion, with prevalence in the female sex (83.3%) and in the same proportion for licensed practical nurses. It was concluded that in medical service, the existence of psycholaboral risks that can generate negative effects in the worker was confirmed.
