ABSTRACT
Burnout is a psychological syndrome generated as a consequence of prolonged exposure to interpersonal stressors at work. Maslach and Jackson (1976) defined it as a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal fulfillment; that occurs in individuals who work with people, damaging their quality of life and worsening their care work. There is growing concern about the presence of this syndrome in educational environment of medical schools. Given this reality, it was decided to make a diagnosis of the current situation of our residents of the Faculty of Medicine of the Catholic University of Maule (UCM). A validated and anonymous survey is carried out to all graduate students of different medical specialties to determine the presence of this syndrome. The results showed that burnout is present in 14% of our graduate students. Furthermore, it was observed that a high percentage of them manifest isolated characteristics of this syndrome; which leads us to conclude that we must work urgently to improve educational environments in our clinical field at Hospital Regional de Talca.
