Burnout Syndrome in Physicians of the Surgical Hospitalization Area of a Second-Level Hospital in the City of Guayaquil

Abstract:

Burnout syndrome is widespread among healthcare professionals, whereas the main components are the individual's emotional state, personal realization feeling, and labor tiredness. Nevertheless, these studies are still being developed in the same region. The study is conducted by conducting the Maslach survey of physicians in Guayaquil, Ecuador's general surgery service's hospitalization area. The present study aims to evaluate the presentation of burnout syndrome and the related personal and environmental factors. In the present study, conducting a comparative investigation with other similar studies in the region is possible, obtaining results that can be considered somewhat different from other countries with similar populations. It is possible to find no patients with burnout syndrome within the study subjects. However, it is possible to find indications that could develop the picture in the future in the study subjects.
