ABSTRACT
Abstract

Introduction:

Worldwide, burnout syndrome is becoming increasingly frequent among dentists, so it is necessary to identify its possible causes.

Objective:

To describe the prevalence of burnout syndrome and the factors associated with its development among dentists working in hospitals of the Ministry of Health (MINSA) in the Lima Metropolitan Area, Peru. Materials and

methods:

Analytical cross-sectional study carried out between December 2019 and January 2020 in 105 dentists working in the 11 MINSA hospitals in the Lima Metropolitan Area. The Maslach Burnout Inventory instrument was used to measure burnout. Factors such as sex, age, marital status, type of shift, years of experience as a dentist, whether they performed any other dentistry-related work activity, and hours of physical activity and leisure per day were evaluated. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) were obtained to analyze the association between the presence of the syndrome and the factors.

Results:

The prevalence of burnout syndrome was 28.57%. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment levels were high in 90.47%, 98.09% and 35.23% of the participants, respectively. The presence of the syndrome was 47% lower in women (aPR=0.53, p=0.044) compared to men, and 70% lower in those who reported having worked as dentists between 11 and 20 years (aPR=0.30, p=0.017), compared to those with less than 11 years of work experience as dentists.

Conclusions:

Almost one third of the participants had burnout syndrome. In addition, the majority of dentists showed high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Being a woman and having 11 to 20 years of work experience as dentists were protective factors for burnout syndrome.
RESUMEN
Resumen Introducción. En el mundo, el síndrome de burnout es cada vez más frecuente en odontólogos, por lo que es necesario identificar sus posibles causas. Objetivo. Describir la prevalencia del síndrome de burnout y los factores asociados a su desarrollo en odontólogos que trabajan en hospitales del Ministerio de Salud (MINSA) de Lima Metropolitana, Perú. Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal analítico realizado entre diciembre de 2019 y enero de 2020 en 105 odontólogos de los 11 hospitales del MINSA de Lima Metropolitana. Se usó el instrumento Maslach Burnout Inventory para medir el burnout. Se evaluaron factores como sexo, edad, estado civil, tipo de jornada laboral, años de ejercicio laboral, si realizaba otra actividad laboral relacionada y horas diarias de ejercicio físico y de ocio. Se obtuvieron razones de prevalencia (RP) crudas (c) y ajustadas (a) para analizar la asociación entre presencia del síndrome y los factores. Resultados. La prevalencia del síndrome de burnout fue de 28.57%. Los niveles de agotamiento emocional, despersonalización y realización personal fueron altos en 90.47%, 98.09% y 35.23% de los participantes, respectivamente. La presencia del síndrome fue 47.00% menor en las mujeres (RPa=0.53, p=0.044) en comparación con los hombres, y 70.00% menor en quienes reportaron tener entre 11 y 20 años de ejercicio laboral (RPa=0.30, p=0.017), comparado con aquellos con menos de 11 años de experiencia laboral. Conclusiones. Casi un tercio de los participantes tuvieron síndrome de burnout; además, la mayoría de los odontólogos presentó altos niveles de agotamiento emocional y despersonalización. Ser mujer y tener entre 11 y 20 años de ejercicio laboral se comportaron como factores protectores.
