RESUMEN
El síndrome de burnout (SBO) se ha descrito como una entidad patológica común entre los médicos y que podría originarse durante su formación académica.

Objetivo:

Determinar la prevalencia y los factores asociados al SBO en alumnos de medicina del séptimo año de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH). Material y

Métodos:

Se realizó un estudio transversal con los estudiantes de medicina del séptimo año de la UPCH (n=117) durante diciembre del 2010. Se empleó dos encuestas autoadministradas anónimas, una sobre características sociodemográficas y laborales y otra, la escala Maslach Burnout Inventory en su versión Human Services Survey validada en español.

Resultados:

Se encontró una prevalencia de SBO de 57,2% (n=59). Más de la mitad de la población presentó niveles medio o alto en despersonalización (DP) (68,9% [n=71]) y agotamiento emocional (AE) (67% [n =69]) y aproximadamente un tercio de los estudiantes tuvieron baja realización personal (RP) (35% [n=36]). No se encontró asociación estadísticamente significativa entre las variables sociodemográficas y laborales estudiadas y la presencia de SBO. La presencia de enfermedad mental se asoció a niveles altos de DP y AE, mientras la ausencia de actividades extracurriculares se asoció a elevados puntajes en AE.

Conclusiones:

El SBO estuvo presente en más de la mitad de los internos de medicina de la UPCH. La presencia de enfermedad mental y ausencia de actividades extracurriculares se asociaron a las dimensiones del SBO.
ABSTRACT
Burnout syndrome has been described as a common pathology among physicians and that may begin during medical formation.

Objective:

To establish the prevalence of burnout and its associated factors in seventh year medical students of Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH). Materials and

Methods:

A transversal study was preformed with seventh year medical students from UPCH (n =117) during December 2010. Two anonymous self-administered questionnaires were assessed, one of them included sociodemographic and laboral characteristics and the other included the Maslach Burnout Inventory û Human Services Survey version validated in Spanish.

Results:

The prevalence of burnout was established at 57,2% (n=59). Over one half of the population had middle or high levels on depersonalization (DP) (68,9% [n =71]) and emotional exhaustion (EE) (67% [n = 69]) and about one third of students presented low personal accomplishment (PA) (35% [n =36]). No statistical significance was found between sociodemographic and occupational variables studied and burnout. The presence of mental illness was associated with high levels of DP and EE, while the absence of extracurricular activities was associated with high levels of EE.

Conclusions:

Burnout is present in more than half of medical interns of UPCH. The presence of mental illness and the absence of extracurricular activities were associated with burnout dimensions.
