Prevalencia e impacto del síndrome de burnout en trabajadores sanitarios de España y Latinoamérica
Objective
The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of burnout syndrome (BS) in healthcare workers from Spain and Latin America, as well as to assess its impact on their perception of work.
Design
Observational, international, multicenter study conducted between February 1st and April 30th, 2023.
Participants
Participants were healthcare workers over 18 years of age who completed an online survey and had maintained the same job position for at least two years prior to completing the questionnaire. Additionally, they had to reside in Spain or Latin America and understand the Spanish language.
Main measurements
BS was diagnosed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Demographic and work-related data were also collected, and the perception of work was analyzed through dichotomous questions related to regret about working in healthcare, the desire to leave the profession, and the intention to change job positions.
Results
A total of 646 participants were included, with a mean age of 43 years (IQR 35-51). Of the participants, 367 (57%) were women, and the professions included 515 (80%) doctors, 58 (9%) nurses, 53 (8%) physiotherapists, and 20 (3%) from other professions. No significant differences were observed in BS prevalence between Spain (21%) and Latin America (24%). BS was diagnosed in 153 (24%) participants, who were younger and had fewer years of work experience compared to the rest. No differences were found based on the healthcare worker's job position.
BS showed a significant impact on the perception of work, with a higher proportion of participants regretting working in healthcare, considering leaving the profession, or wanting to change job positions, particularly in Latin America.
Conclusions
The prevalence of SB is high and does not depend on the geographical location where the healthcare worker practices their profession. The impact on the perception of work is considerable, highlighting the importance of implementing strategies to prevent and mitigate this syndrome, thereby improving the quality of care.
