Introducción: El número de personas que padecen un Síndrome de Burnout (SB) a causa de estrés laboral ha ido incrementando y ha llegado a ser una de las causas principales del bajo desempeño, ausentismo laboral y discapacidades. Objetivo: Identificar SB en el personal docente de la Facultad Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato (UTA). Método: Investigación cuantitativa, descriptiva, de campo y de corte transversal. La Población objeto de estudio fueron todos los docentes de la Facultad Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato, siendo la muestra censal. Para la recolección de la información se aplicó el cuestionario Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) que consta de 22 ítems en forma de afirmaciones que permitió medir el desgaste profesional del personal docente. Finalmente, se cuidaron los aspectos éticos señalados en la Declaración de Helsinki, así como los principios éticos de respeto, autonomía y no maleficencia. Resultados: La población estudiada no manifiesta una elevada incidencia del SB, sin embargo, apuntan a una incipiente presencia del mismo ya que hubo puntuaciones en los sectores medios que actualmente no son relevantes, pero bien pudieran indicar que estamos ante una muestra de docentes no exentos de problemática y tensiones. Conclusiones: Los docentes de la Facultad Ciencias de la Salud de la UTA están en riesgo de padecer SB, ya que presentaron variaciones significativas en los aspectos agotamiento emocional y realización personal; siendo los más afectados los docentes de las carreras de estimulación temprana, medicina, terapia física y laboratorio clínico.    Abstract Introduction: The number of people suffering from Burnout Syndrome (SB) due to work-related stress has been increasing and has become one of the main causes of poor performance, absenteeism and disabilities. Objective: To identify SB in the teaching staff of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Technical University of Ambato (UTA). Method: Quantitative, descriptive, field and cross-sectional research. The Population under study were all teachers of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Technical University of Ambato, being the census sample. For the collection of the information, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire was applied, consisting of 22 items in the form of affirmations that allowed measuring the professional wear of the teaching staff. Finally, the ethical aspects indicated in the Declaration of Helsinki were taken care of, as well as the ethical principles of respect, autonomy and non-maleficiency. Results: The population studied does not show a high incidence of SB, however, they point to an incipient presence of the same since there were scores in the middle sectors that are currently not relevant, but could well indicate that we are facing a sample of non-exempt teachers of problems and tensions. Conclusions: The teachers of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the UTA are at risk of suffering from SB, since they presented significant variations in the aspects of emotional exhaustion and personal fulfillment; being the most affected teachers of early stimulation careers, medicine and clinical laboratory.

(1) Background: Burnout syndrome is a significant problem in nursing professionals but may be dependent on the type of care that they provide. The objectives of our study are to identify and explore risk factors associated with burnout among gastroenterology nurses. Identifying the risk factors involved is an essential element for prevention programs. (2) Methods: We performed an analytical descriptive cross-sectional study. Burnout was measured using an adapted version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire. Strength of association between burnout scores and risk factors was calculated using Fischer’s exact test; (3) Results: Our subjects were all female nurses. Work-related risk factors, such as an increased workload and a large number of night shifts have been associated with burnout in nurses, together with a lack of physical activity. We found no significant associations with sociodemographic factors; (4) Conclusions: Gastroenterology nurses are affected by high levels of emotional exhaustion. Work-related risk factors and a sedentary lifestyle result in a greater prevalence of burnout. In this category of healthcare workers, preventive actions are needed. The physical activity outside work could be a protective factor for burnout, and an exercise program could contribute to the effectiveness of well-established burnout intervention programs.

Abstract Background Burnout syndrome may adversely affect health care workers and health sciences students. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of burnout among Saudi third- and fourth-year radiological sciences students across three campuses of King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences. Methods An exploratory, cross-sectional study was conducted among 176 Saudi radiological sciences students, using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey for Students. The 16-item questionnaire was administered electronically. The arithmetic means of individual items making up each scale of burnout were calculated, and statistical analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney U nonparametric test. Results From the 176 radiological sciences students approached, 96 (54.5%) completed the questionnaire. The percentage of students who were at moderate to high risk of burnout for emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy were 70.8%, 75% and 74%, respectively. Fourth-year students emotional exhaustion mean scale score was 19.3 ± 6.8 indicating significant higher burnout levels (P = 0.042), compared to third-year students mean scale score of 15.9 ± 7.2. Fourth-year female students cynicism mean scale score was 16.3 ± 7.6 indicating significant higher burnout levels (P = 0.035), compared to third-year female students mean scale score of 10.3 ± 7.1. Fourth-year female students showed significant lower professional efficacy mean score (21.1 ± 8.0), compared to males (26.1 ± 7.9, P = 0.007). Conclusions Our study shows 73.3% moderate to high burnout rates among Saudi radiological sciences students. A greater proportion of fourth year female students reported high levels of emotional exhaustion. Burnout increases as students advance to the fourth year. A block/modular curriculum structure for fourth-year courses may be necessary to reduce burnout among fourth-year students. The provision of academic counseling can relieve students' emotional stress and therefore reduce the risk of burnout.

Abstract: Introduction: Burnout can have a wide negative impact on the quality and the effectiveness of the health care system. The aim of our research was to assess the burnout level of the radiology department workers in Hungary. Method: Our quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive data collection lasted from June to September 2018 using an online questionnaire. Simple, non-random sampling was carried out among radiology department workers in Hungary. In addition to our self-made questionnaire which included socio-demographic and work-related questions, an internationally validated Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire was sent out. Results: After data cleaning, a total number of 404 (n = 404) respondents were included in the statistical analysis. The majority of the respondents works in county hospital, the average year spent in the healthcare system was 18.3 (SD 13,7). The sample’s values at the depersonalization and emotional exhaustion dimension were slightly elevated in contrast to the average values. Educational level, age and years spent in the healthcare system had a significant influence on all the three dimensions of burnout (p≤0.05). The group of workers being 31–35 years old and the group of those who spent 16–20 years in the healthcare system are considered to be the most compromised groups in all the three dimensions of burnout. Respondents with master degree had significantly lower emotional exhaustion values than their colleagues. Conclusion: The increased value of the depersonalization and the emotional exhaustion can be an indicator for employers. Our results are similar like described in the international literature.

BackgroundIn the recent pandemic, nurses have faced workload and being exposed to burnout. Resilience helps address work-related psychological problems such as stressful events and burnout. According to the roles of nurses in the healthcare system, we investigated the relationship between resiliency and burnout in nurses.Material and MethodsIn this descriptive analytical cross-sectional study, 364 nurses participated from April to June 2021. Census sampling was used to recruit participants. Maslach burnout inventory (MBI), Connor-Davidson Resiliency Scale (CDRISC), and a demographic check-list were utilized to collect data. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 22. Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskal–Wallis test, Mann–Whitney U-test, correlation analysis, and generalized linear model were applied accordingly.ResultsOverall, the findings showed that nurses had severe symptoms of burnout and a moderate level of resilience. The two domains of burnout, emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment had a significantly negative correlation with resilience (r = −0.442, p &lt; 0.001 and r = −0.351, p = 0.03, respectively). Linear regression showed that demographic characteristics (Hospital type, ward type, gender, and overtime) were the major predictors of the 3 sub-categories of burnout. A significant negative correlation was observed between burnout and resilience highlighting the role of resilience in reducing burnout (P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionIn order to help nurses to tackle and endure burnout in pandemic times, there is a need to implement national and local policies to help them accordingly.

Abstract Background Residency training exposes young physicians to a challenging and high-stress environment, making them vulnerable to burnout. Burnout syndrome not only compromises the health and wellness of resident physicians but has also been linked to prescription errors, reduction in the quality of medical care, and decreased professionalism. This study explored burnout and factors influencing resilience among U.S. resident physicians. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted through an online survey, which was distributed to all accredited residency programs by Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The survey included the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 25), Abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory, and socio-demographic characteristics questions. The association between burnout, resilience, and socio-demographic characteristics were examined. Results The 682 respondents had a mean CD-RISC score of 72.41 (Standard Deviation = 12.1), which was equivalent to the bottom 25th percentile of the general population. Males and upper-level trainees were more resilient than females and junior residents. No significant differences in resilience were found associated with age, race, marital status, or training program type. Resilience positively correlated with personal achievement, family, and institutional support (p <  0.001) and negatively associated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization (p <   0.001). Conclusions High resilience, family, and institutional support were associated with a lower risk of burnout, supporting the need for developing a resilience training program to promote a lifetime of mental wellness for future physicians.
