ABSTRACT

Objective: to identify depressive symptomatology and job satisfaction in family physicians at the Family Medicine Unit No. 49 in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico. Methods: cross-sectional analytical study conducted from December 2020 to February 2021, 51 family physicians participated, the Beck-II inventory was used to measure depression and the general scale of Warr, Cook and Wall to determine job satisfaction. Results: the age of the participants was 38.5 ± 5.9 years, with a predominance of 54.9% women. Minimal depression was identified in 92.2% of participants and mild depression in 7.8%; in relation to job satisfaction, intrinsic factors were presented in a range of 27 to 47 points and extrinsic factors in a range of 34 to 54 points; depression and job satisfaction had a correlation of r=-0.40, p‹0.01, indicating that as physicians experienced more job satisfaction they presented relatively less depression; there were no statistically significant differences with respect to gender and age group with depression and job satisfaction. Conclusions: no moderate or severe depressive symptomatology was reported, participants showed high job satisfaction. Age and gender did not correlate with the two variables of interest during one of the most important peaks of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.
