Abstract

The Burnout syndrome (BS) is used to refer to institutional working stress generated in professions which maintain a constant and direct relation with people, as the case of nursing; it has three dimensions: emotional fatigue, depersonalization and personal realization.

The objective of this work was to determine the prevalence of BS in nursing staff in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Guillermo Grant Benavente de Concepción, Chile Hospital, and the factors related with it.

In this descriptive exploratory study a questionnaire of socio demographic data and the inventory of Burnout of Maslach were applied to a sample during three months.

For the analysis of data a descriptive statistics and non parametric tests for category variables were used.

The scores obtained in the dimensions of BS on nursing staff at PICU showed higher percentajes of low Burnout levels; more than half the population in the study had high personal achievements.

Knowledge of variables related with Burnout will allow the design of preventive strategies and the treatment to improve the health and the quality of assistance in the work area.
