ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Burnout is a psychological response to chronic work-related stress of an interpersonal and emotional nature that appears in professionals in service organizations who work in direct contact with the clients or end-users of the organization. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of burnout in a sample of staff nurses. DESIGN: The study was longitudinal, and not randomized. The gap between time 1 (T1) and time 2 (T2) was 1 year. SETTINGS: The data were gathered using an anonymous and self-applied questionnaire in different units of 13 Spanish hospitals. PARTICIPANTS: The sample consisted of 316 staff nurses, 53 males (16.8%) and 262 females (83.2%). The percentage of the response obtained was 31.37% of all the questionnaires distributed in T1, and 83.77% of all the questionnaires handed out in T2. The characteristics of the sample were stable over time. METHODS: Burnout was evaluated by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS). Descriptive statistics, percentages, and t-test analyses were conducted. RESULTS: The prevalence of burnout was different according to the approach used: (a) following the cut-off points from the American manual, the prevalence was 2.84% in T1 and 1.89% in T2; and considering the clinically derived cut-off points obtained in Holland, the percentage was 1.26% in T1 and .94% in T2. CONCLUSIONS: The results only confirmed the hypothesis formulated applying the American cut-off points in T1. There was a significant increase in the levels of emotional exhaustion from T1 to T2, but there were no significant changes in the levels of personal accomplishment or depersonalization from T1 to T2. When the scores on the three dimensions of the MBI were considered together, a decrease in the incidence of burnout was obtained from T1 to T2. The prevalence of burnout in staff nurses can be modified over time, depending on the criteria used to estimate the prevalence.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la influencia de los Conflictos Interpersonales en las organizaciones hospitalarias, sobre el Síndrome de Quemarse por el Trabajo (SQT) (burnout) y sus efectos sobre la salud. La muestra estuvo formada por 316 profesionales de enfermería, y el diseño del estudio fue longitudinal. El SQT se estimó con el Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS), (Maslach y Jackson 1986). Los Conflictos Interpersonales se evaluaron con una escala formada por 6 ítems que consideraba diferentes fuentes de conflicto (alfa = 0.76, T1;alfa = 0.72, T2). Los Problemas de Salud se evaluaron con 13 ítems que recogen la percepción subjetiva con la que los individuos han experimentado esos problemas en relación con el trabajo (alfa = 0.82, T1; alfa = 0.81, T2). Los análisis de regresión realizados permitieron obtener evidencia empírica de que los Conflictos Interpersonales eran un antecedente significativo de Agotamiento Emocional y de Realización Personal en el Trabajo, mientras que Agotamiento Emocional y Despersonalización eran un antecedente significativo de los Problemas de Salud. Se concluye sobre la importancia de los factores relacionales y emocionales en la prevención del SQT y sus problemas asociados, así como de la necesidad de realizar investigaciones longitudinales.


The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of interpersonal conflicts on burnout in hospital organizations and its consequences on health. A longitudinal design was employed on a sample of 316 nursing professionals. Burnout was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS), (Maslach y Jackson 1986). Different sources of interpersonal conflicts were evaluated by 6 items (alpha = 0.76, T1; alpha = 0.72, T2). Disorders of health were assessed with a scale of 13 items, which summarize the subjective perception of individuals who have experienced these disorders in their jobs (alpha = 0.82, T1; alpha = 0.81, T2). Regression analysis showed that Interpersonal Conflicts were significant predictors of Emotional exhaustion and Personal accomplishment, while Emotional exhaustion and personalization was found to be a significant predictor of Disorders of health. The study concludes that it must take into account the relational and emotional factors to prevent burnout in nurses and the problems associated. Furthermore, in a methodological level, it is necessary to make longitudinal studies.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la influencia de la sobrecarga laboral y la autoeficacia sobre el síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo (SQT). La muestra se formó por 714 profesionales de enfermería que trabajan en diferentes hospitales. El SQT se estimó mediante el cuestionario MBI-HSS, la sobrecarga laboral se midió mediante una escala de 7 ítems de Karasek y la autoeficacia mediante la escala de Baessler y Schwarzer. Los resultados mostraron que la sobrecarga laboral y la autoeficacia fueron predictores significativos de las dimensiones agotamiento emocional, realización personal en el trabajo y despersonalización. En la comprobación de los efectos moduladores de la autoeficacia en la relación entre sobrecarga laboral sobre las tres dimensiones del MBI sólo resultó significativo el efecto modulador de la autoeficacia en la relación entre sobrecarga laboral y agotamiento emocional. Estos resultados permiten afirmar que es necesario evitar la sobrecarga laboral para prevenir la aparición del SQT, y que la autoeficacia percibida de los profesionales va a prevenir la aparición del SQT y disminuirá la incidencia de la sobrecarga laboral sobre esta patología.(AU)


The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of overload and self-efficacy on the burnout. The sample was composed by 714 nursing professionals that were working in different hospitals. The burnout was estimated by the MBI-HSS questionnaire, overload was estimated by a scale of 7 items of Karasek and self-efficacy by a scale of 9 items of Baessler and Schwarser. The results of the study indicate that overload and self-efficacy were significant predictors of emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment and depersonalization. In the confirmation of the self-efficacy buffering effects in the relationship between overload and the three dimensions of the MBI only was significant the buffering effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between overload and emotional exhaustion. The conclusions are that is necessary to prevent the overload to prevent the appearance of the burnout, and that the self-efficacy perceived of subjects will prevent the appearance of the burnout and it will reduce the overload incidence on this pathology.(AU)
