Abstract
MUNOZ-CERON, Joe Fernando; GALLO-EUGENIO, Loren Marcela and FIGUEROA VARGAS, Daniel Arturo. Burnout syndrome in Colombian neurologists: prevalence and associated factors. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.2, pp.63-68. Epub July 05, 2021. ISSN 0120-8748. https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022368.
INTRODUCTION:
Burnout syndrome is a condition of increasing prevalence that affects quality of life and labor outcomes.
OBJECTIVE:
To describe the prevalence and factors related to burnout syndrome in Colombian neurologists.
METHODOLOGY:
By mean of a self-administered survey we obtained information from 119 neurologists currently working in Colombia. Sociodemographic and Maslasch Burnout Inventory data were collected. To calculate statistical correlation of variables related to the syndrome a logistic regression model was used.
RESULTS:
Burnout syndrome was determined in 49.6% of interviewed neurologists (2 or more affected dimensions).This condition was related to female gender (P=0.036), number of hours worked weekly (P=0.040) and level of work satisfaction (P<0.001). Having a hobby was determined as protector for burnout (P=0.024).
CONCLUSION:
Burnout syndrome is a prevalent condition in Colombian neurologists. This information should be considered for designing policies directed to better labor conditions for this specialty in our country.
Keywords : Depersonalization; personal satisfaction; hobbies; stress; emotional distress (MeSH).
