Resumen
DOMINGUEZ, Luis Carlos et al. Professional burnout in Colombian surgical residents: results of a national study. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.2, pp.121-127. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.16.
Objectives: The Burnout Syndrome (BS), a highly prevalent entity among surgeons, holds negative impact on clinical and educational outcomes. Our aim was to measure the prevalence of BS in Colombian surgical residents, and their variation according to age, gender, type of program, level of residence and geographic region. Methods: The MBI-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) was administered to 202 surgical residents. The overall percentage of BS was calculated. Univariate analyses were performed for the global score of the MBI-HSS and its subscales according to the proposed variables, and multivariate analyses were conducted in order to assess their independence. Results: The prevalence of BS was 33.15%. No significant difference was found in the global and sub-scores of the MBI-HSS between residents with BS and no BS according the proposed variables. The prevalence of BS was higher in the central region of the country (OR 4.76 IC95% 2.0-11.2). Conclusions: BS in Colombian surgical residents is a prevalent entity, which is not related to age, gender, and type of program or level of residence. There are regional variations indicating a higher risk of BS among active residents in programs in the central region of the country, which requires further studies.
