ABSTRACT

Introduction: Health professionals are in constant risk of developing burnout syndrome, a process that exhausts physical and emotional resources, create depersonalization and diminished personal accomplishment of treatment performance, generating a negative self-conception, loss of interest in patients and negative attitudes towards work.
Objective: To describe the burnout syndrome levels in collaborators of the Centro de Rehabilitación Infantil Teletón Estado de México, in relation with its three factors: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Also, to determine if there are significant differences between sex, years of service, shift, work area and clinic, regarding burnout level.
Methods: We investigated burnout syndrome in 243 professionals from different areas of a pediatric rehabilitation center. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was applied.
Results: Of the three factors, emotional exhaustion was the most frequent factor, since 56.79% presented this component with moderate or high levels. The work area is that with more significant differences, associated with emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment.
Conclusion: Emotional exhaustion was the most common component of the burnout syndrome. We can infer that if the professionals of the health area are exhausted, if their needs are not met and their welfare is not seek, not also cater your needs and seeking their welfare, patients will not receive an optimal care.
