ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Analizar el nivel de desgaste profesional o burnout que presentaban los médicos de atención primaria de Ávila y la influencia de factores sociales, laborales y de salud en la aparición del mismo. Material y métodos. Se realizó un estudio epidemiológico transversal y descriptivo dirigido a todo el personal médico de atención primaria de Ávila durante el primer semestre de 2011, mediante 2 cuestionarios: el Maslach Burnout Inventory y otro de variables sociodemográficas, laborales y de salud. Resultados. Se obtuvo una tasa de respuesta del 51,8%. La edad media fue de 48,55 ± 8,16. El 52% eran varones, casados el 77%, con plaza en propiedad el 45%, trabajando en centros rurales el 78% y realizando guardias más consulta el 82%. La prevalencia en nuestro estudio resultó ser baja, 16% en su grado grave. Constatamos una alta prevalencia de la enfermedad, 68%, en su grado grave o moderado/grave. Estar casado (p = 0,012), no hacer guardias (p < 0,0001), trabajar en zona rural (p = 0,008) y ser médico de área (p = 0,03) predispone a padecer burnout en grado grave o moderado/grave. Conclusiones. Encontramos un nivel moderado de burnout. Al contrario de lo que pensaban muchos facultativos, la prevalencia de la enfermedad en su forma grave fue baja, pero sí fue elevada al considerar en conjunto los grados grave y moderado/grave. Por tanto, se deberían extender medidas para reducir el estrés laboral de los médicos con el fin de una mejor práctica laboral y eficiencia profesional (AU)


Objective. To determine the level of burnout in general practitioners of Avila and the influence of social, occupational and health factors. Material and methods. A descriptive cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted and aimed at all Primary Care medical staff of Avila during the first half of 2011, using two questionnaires: the Maslach Burnout Inventory and other sociodemographic, health and occupational variables. Results. A response rate of 51.8% was obtained. The mean age was 48.55 ± 8.16, and 52% were male, 77% married, 45% with tenure, 78% worked in rural centres, and, 82% performed out of hours home visits plus clinics. The prevalence of severe burn out was low (16%) in our study was low. A high prevalence (68%) of moderate/severe level of the condition was found. Being married (P = .012), do not guards (P < .0001), working in rural areas (P = .008), and to be an area doctor (p=.03), predisposes to suffer burnout in severe or moderate/severe burnout. Conclusions. A moderate level of burnout was found. Contrary to what many doctors thought, the prevalence of the condition in its severe form was low, but was high when taking the severe and moderate/severe forms together. Therefore, measures should be extended to reduce occupational stress of doctors, in order to improve working practices and professional efficiency (AU)

ABSTRACT

Muchos de los medicamentos que utilizamos en nuestras consultas, y a los que presuponemos inocuidad, pueden producir multitud de efectos secundarios que en ocasiones pueden llegar a ser letales. La agranulocitosis es una poco frecuente alteración sanguínea consistente en una neutropenia severa que asocia infecciones graves y una elevada mortalidad. Un gran número de medicamentos se han asociado con la producción de agranulocitosis antibióticos, antiinflamatorios, antidepresivos, etc...Dentro de estos medicamentos el metamizol ha sido uno de los fármacos que clásicamente se ha asociado a este trastorno sanguíneo. Ampliamente utilizado, el metamizol, goza de gran popularidad no sólo entre el ambiente médico sino entre los mismos pacientes que pueden conseguirlo sin receta médica en cualquier farmacia dentro de nuestro país. Aunque la asociación de agranulocitosis y metamizol es poco frecuente debemos tenerla presente por las graves consecuencias que puede traer. Tal fue el caso de la paciente que describimos, la cual tras ha ber recibido metamizol debió ser atendida urgentemente en su domicilio, siendo posteriormente remitida al hospital. La analítica en urgencias mostró una agranulocitosis. Posteriormente ingresaría en la unidad de cuidados intensivos donde, a pesar de las medidas de soporte y la antibioterapia, la paciente falleció a las pocas horas (AU)
