Abstract
Introduction: Burnout Syndrome is an occupational phenomenon characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment. Its prevalence is particularly high among healthcare professionals in Latin America. Objective: To analyze the relationship between sociodemographic and occupational factors and Burnout Syndrome among healthcare professionals in a private institution in 2024. Methodology: Observational, analytical, cross-sectional study, using a non-probabilistic convenience sample of healthcare professionals. A sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (healthcare professionals’ version) were administered. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics with SPSS software. Results: A total of 214 healthcare professionals participated, including 38.3% nurses and 36.4% physicians. The sample was 65.9% female, with a mean age of 36.89 years. A total of 12.1% met the criteria for Burnout Syndrome, which was more prevalent among female professionals and those working an average of 49.90 hours per week, compared to those with fewer working hours. Additionally, high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were more frequent among professionals working in inpatient care settings. Conclusion: Burnout Syndrome was present in 12.1% of healthcare professionals, with a higher prevalence among women and those working an average of 49.90 hours per week. No associations were found with age or length of employment. These factors should be considered when developing institutional strategies for professional well-being.
