Objective: To determine the level of professional burnout in healthcare personnel after the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Materials and methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a sample of 355 IPS workers in the city of Cartagena. A questionnaire with 2 sections was used: Sociodemographic and labor aspects (16 items) and Maslach Burnout Inventory that determines Burnout syndrome through the dimensions of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal fulfillment (22 items). A descriptive analysis using absolute frequencies and percentages was used. The ethical principle was governed by resolution 8430 of 1993 and the Helsinki Code.
Results: The predominant sex was female 78.6%, with undergraduate education 69.9% and more than 10 years of work experience 25.6%, working in tertiary level IPS 41.4%, distributed in the areas of emergency 22.3%, outpatient 18%, ICU 15.2%, hospitalization 11% and surgery 5.9%; in contact with patients positive for SARS-CoV-2 74.6% and who have suffered COVID-19 11.8%. The burnout dimension scored mild 55.2%, as did depersonalization with 51.5%, while personal accomplishment was severe 62.5%. Overall burnout was severe 62.5%, moderate 35.5% and mild 5%.
Conclusion: It was possible to determine that during the COVID-19 pandemic the level of burnout of a group of health professionals was severe, affecting the health of the professionals and their performance in relation to the care provided, suggesting the implementation of interventions to promote, restore and maintain the physical and mental health of health workers in times of pandemic.
