RESUMO
Antecedentes La satisfacción laboral, el burnout y la calidad de vida profesional de los fisioterapeutas es clave para mantener la calidad de los servicios prestados en los pacientes. Objetivos Describir la satisfacción laboral, el burnout y la calidad de vida profesional de los fisioterapeutas de Atención Hospitalaria de la Sanidad pública de Castilla y León (SACYL); identificar las diferencias existentes en la satisfacción laboral, el burnout y el nivel de calidad de vida profesional en los mismos; determinar la relación existente entre las tres variables. Materiales y métodos Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal, con muestreo de conveniencia, en fisioterapeutas de Castilla y León que trabajan en atención hospitalaria. Se recogieron datos de la satisfacción laboral (Font Roja), el burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory) y la calidad de vida profesional (CVP-35) en su puesto de trabajo. Se llevó a cabo un análisis descriptivo y relacional de las variables analizadas. Resultados Participaron 72 fisioterapeutas, siendo 75% mujeres, con una media de edad de 42,8 ± 8,37 años. El nivel de burnout resultó medio-alto en las dimensiones de agotamiento emocional y despersonalización, bajo en realización personal y la satisfacción laboral baja (SMG = -0,04). Los valores de calidad de vida profesional alcanzan una puntuación de notable (7,15 ± 1,43). Conclusiones Los fisioterapeutas de atención hospitalaria del SACYL presentan una elevada motivación intrínseca, a pesar del escaso apoyo directivo que reciben. La mejora de ambas dimensiones conlleva un aumento de la satisfacción laboral y de la calidad de vida profesional, y un descenso de los niveles de burnout (especialmente en el agotamiento emocional y la despersonalización).

Background Job satisfaction, burnout and professional quality of life of physiotherapists is key to maintaining the quality of services provided to patients. Objectives To describe job satisfaction, burnout and professional quality of life of physiotherapists in hospital care in the public health system of Castilla y León (SACYL); to identify the existing differences in job satisfaction, burnout and the level of professional quality of life among them; to determine the relationship between the three variables. Materials and methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out, with convenience sampling, in physiotherapists from Castilla y León working in hospital care. Data were collected on job satisfaction (Font Roja), burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory) and professional quality of life (CVP-35) in the workplace. A descriptive and relational analysis of the variables analysed was carried out. Results Seventy-two physiotherapists participated, 75% of whom were women, with an average age of 42.8 ± 8.37 years. The level of burnout was medium-high in the dimensions of emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation, low in personal fulfilment and low in job satisfaction (SMG = −0.04). Professional quality of life values reach a score of remarkable (7.15 ± 1.43). Conclusions Hospital care physiotherapists of the SACYL present high intrinsic motivation, despite the low managerial support they receive. The improvement of both dimensions leads to an increase in job satisfaction and professional quality of life, and a decrease in burnout levels (especially in emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation).

BACKGROUND: There have been few studies carried out into empathy in physiotherapists. Burnout can debilitate the quality of care and the efficacy of treatment as the empathetic capacity of the professional diminishes. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to examine the association between the construct burnout, empathy and sociodemographic aspects in Spanish physiotherapists. METHODS: A cross-sectional electronic survey including the Maslach Burnout Inventory (for burnout assessment), the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (for empathy assessment) and sociodemographic data was answered by 461 Spanish physical therapists. A descriptive, bivariate and lineal regression analysis was performed. RESULTS: There was an association between burnout and empathy. Specifically, higher levels of burnout are associated with lower levels of empathy, whilst years of work experience is associated with lower levels of burnout. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study contribute to a greater understanding of the relationship between the level of burnout and the dimensions of empathy in physiotherapists. The influence of burnout, which causes difficulties in the mobilization of the professional towards the establishment of a quality therapeutic relationship, is highlighted.KEY MESSAGESEmotional exhaustion is associated to greater personal discomfort and less empathy.The depersonalization is associated to personal discomfort and less empathy.Depersonalization is negatively associated to the lack of perspective.
