ABSTRACT

Introduction: Burnout syndrome is frequent in critical areas, it is composed of: exhaustion, depersonalization and sense of ineffectiveness. Objective: To determine prevalence of burnout syndrome in personnel of critical areas and to evaluate subgroups with anxiety, depression and secondary factors involved. Material and methods: Multicenter cross-sectional study, through voluntary questionnaire (demographic data, Maslach Burnout Inventory, PSS perceived stress scale and PHQ-9 patient care questionnaire) from June 2017 to April 2018. Results: 182 workers, 57.7% women, 72% unmarried, 41.8% economic support, 15.9% chronic diseases, 2.8% required sleep inducers, 2.2% used anxiolytics, 25.3% substance abuse (63% marijuana, 58.7% stimulants, 27.7% alcohol abuse). Complete burnout syndrome 46.2% and incomplete 18.1% were detected. Depression 74.2% and 34 people with suicidal ideation. Depression and stress were associated with complete burnout syndrome. The multivariate analysis detected association with weeks of 80 hours or more of work and adverse events [(OR = 2.52, 95% CI 1.10-5.58) and (OR = 2.40, 95% CI 1.27-4.54)]. Discussion: The results coincide with other publications that report up to 40% of burnout syndrome in doctors, for 2016 it was reported that approximately half of the adult intensivists present it. Several incorrect protective or «adaptive» strategies used by staff were detected. Conclusions: The burnout syndrome deteriorates of the health professional is motivation, can lead to negative results related to the quality of work and presents high association with stress and depression, therefore it is essential to treat both conditions simultaneously.
