ABSTRACT
Background:
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) exposed health personnel worldwide to high stress levels, which increases the phenomenon of burnout.Aim:
To evaluate burnout, its risk, and protective factors in our health team, which has been exposed for months to greater work stress and changes in their usual tasks due to the pandemic. Material andMethods:
An online survey including the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) and sociodemographic questions, was carried out among health care personnel who continued working during the pandemic.Results:
A total of 209 surveys were obtained. Seventy six percent of respondents presented some degree of burnout in the time of the pandemic. Only one protective factor was observed living with one or more children at home (Odds ratio (OR) 0.21, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.05 - 0.87;p = 0.03). Having night shifts (OR 2.72, 95% CI 1.02 - 7.28;p = 0.04), having more than six years in the workplace (OR 3.58, 95% CI 1.18 - 10.8;p = 0.023) and maintaining a regular or poor diet during the pandemic (OR 4.52, 95% CI 1.51-13.48;p < 0.01) were identified as risk factors.Conclusions:
A high incidence of burnout was observed in the surveyed population. Living with one or more children in the home stands out as a protective factor and working night shifts, having more than 6 years in the workplace, and maintaining a poor diet as risk factors.
