Abstract

PurposeTo determine the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome (BS) and explore associated factors in healthcare personnel in the emergency department of a high-complexity institution in Medellín, Colombia. MethodA Cross-sectional observational study was carried out. Medical and nursing staff with care tasks were identified. The structured MBI-HSS survey was administered through an electronic questionnaire, with which BS was estimated. Descriptive analysis and bivariate analysis were performed using multiple binary logistic regressions to explore those associated with BS. Results132 completed surveys were analyzed. A prevalence of SB was estimated at 24.2% (32/132) and 47.0% (62/132) using two-dimensional and one-dimensional criteria, respectively. Use of psychoactive substances in the last year, history of anxiety or depression (OR 3.28 [95% CI:1.30-8.26], OR 3.51 [95% CI:1.38-8.92], respectively) were associated with BS. In addition, some degree of dissatisfaction with the environment, supervision, labour benefits and general (OR 2.79 [95% CI: 1.09-7.13], OR 2.79 [95% CI: 1.09-7.13], OR 3.59 [95% CI: 1.56-8.25], OR 3.88 [95% CI: 1.59-9.48], respectively) were also associated with SB. ConclusionsThe prevalence of BS in healthcare personnel in the emergency department is similar to that reported globally when the same diagnostic rule is used. Job dissatisfaction was associated with SB.
