摘要：Objective: To assess the prevalence of the burnout syndrome in
professionals working with physically impaired people.
Method: Non–randomized cross–sectional study carried out in Chile, in
2006. The study sample comprised 277 professionals working at care
centers for physically disabled people, 75.09% (n = 208) were women
and 24.91% (n = 69) were men. Data were gathered through an
anonymous, self-administrated questionnaire. The Burnout was
measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS) and the
Burnout Syndrome Evaluation Questionnaire (CESQT-PD from the
Spanish – “Cuestionario para la Evaluación del Síndrome de Quemarse
por el Trabajo”), and different approaches were employed to estimate
burnout prevalence.
Results: The prevalence of burnout was different according to the
approach used: the prevalence was 7.6% by the United States criteria;
9% by the Spanish criteria; 6.9% by the Chilean criteria and 3.2% by
the Dutch clinical criteria.
Discussion: Burnout prevalence varied significantly depending on the
approach used. The MBI-HSS y el CESQT-PD can be considered reliable
means for an initial measurement of Burnout.
Descriptors: Burnout, prevalence, professionals caring for physically
impaired people.
