Abstract

Background: Burnout syndrome is a significant issue among healthcare professionals, significantly affecting their mental well-being. Its prevalence has increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Colombia, data on burnout prevalence are limited, and no specific studies have been conducted in paediatrics. Therefore, this study aims to assess the risk of mental disorders and burnout syndrome among paediatricians working in various healthcare settings in Bogotá during 2023.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among paediatricians in Bogotá, Colombia. The sample size was calculated at 179 participants based on the city's paediatrician population and previous studies on burnout prevalence in paediatric emergency services. The survey included the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) for medical personnel, the Self-Report Questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 and the Generalised Anxiety Disorder-2.

Results: A total of 186 surveys were collected, revealing that 95% of paediatricians were at risk of burnout syndrome. This was indicated by impairments in at least one of the three MBI domains: depersonalisation, emotional exhaustion and reduced personal accomplishment. Furthermore, a relationship was identified between unfavourable working conditions and the risk of mental illness, highlighting the urgent need for intervention by health authorities and medical organisations.

Conclusion: There is a clear association between working conditions and mental health, highlighting the urgent need for action from health authorities and medical organisations.

哥伦比亚波哥大儿科医生职业倦怠综合征风险:一项横断面调查。
背景:职业倦怠综合症是医护人员的一个重要问题,严重影响他们的心理健康。自2019冠状病毒病大流行以来,其流行率有所上升。在哥伦比亚,关于职业倦怠流行率的数据有限,而且没有在儿科进行具体研究。因此,本研究旨在评估2023年期间在波哥大各种医疗机构工作的儿科医生患精神障碍和倦怠综合征的风险。方法:对哥伦比亚波哥大的儿科医生进行横断面调查。样本量为179名参与者,根据该市的儿科医生人数和先前关于儿科急诊服务中职业倦怠患病率的研究计算。调查内容包括医务人员马斯拉克职业倦怠量表(MBI)、自我报告问卷、患者健康问卷-2和广泛性焦虑症问卷-2。结果:共收集186份调查,95%的儿科医生存在职业倦怠综合征的风险。这可以从三个MBI领域中的至少一个领域的损伤中看出:人格解体、情绪耗竭和个人成就感降低。此外,确定了不利的工作条件与精神疾病风险之间的关系,强调了卫生当局和医疗组织进行干预的迫切需要。结论:工作条件和心理健康之间有明显的联系,强调了卫生当局和医疗组织采取行动的迫切需要。
