INTRODUCCION:
El SÃndrome de Burnout (CIE10: Z73.0) o SÃndrome de "quemarse por el trabajo" es un desorden de alta prevalencia a nivel mundial, sin embargo con pocos estudios en nuestro paÃs, el cual se ha reportado como posible factor asociado a errores médicos, sin embargo dicha asociación no ha sido evaluada en nuestro medio. OBJETIVOS:
Determinar la prevalencia del SÃndrome de Burnout en la población de Internos de Medicina del Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza (HNAL) en el periodo 2013 y la relación de aquel con el auto-reporte de errores médicos. MATERIALES Y METODOS:
Se realizó un estudio transversal en 118 internos de Medicina Humana del Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza al final de su internado a los cuales de forma anónima se aplicó la encuesta de SÃndrome de Burnout validada al español ("Maslach Burnout Inventory" para profesionales de la Salud: Human Services Survey "MBI-HSS") además de un cuestionario de 6 preguntas orientadas a la evaluación de auto-reporte de errores médicos durante el internado y 6 preguntas en relación a datos laborales demográficos. La tasa de respuesta fue de 69.5 por ciento. La prevalencia del SÃndrome de Burnout encontrada fue de 63.5 por ciento (52 internos) (lC 95 por ciento: 52.6-73.02 por ciento), mientras que el 40 por ciento (33 internos) (IC 95 por ciento: 30.29-51.06 por ciento) reportaron haber cometido al menos un error médico durante el tiempo de internado. En el análisis estadÃstico se encontró asociación significativa entre dichas variables, por otro lado se encontró que los internos de medicina afectados con el SÃndrome de Burnout presentaban 8 veces más riesgo de cometer errores médicos (OR: 8.196, intervalo de confianza al 95 por ciento: 2.50-26.84) en relación a quienes no lo presentaban. No se encontró asociación significativa entre los factores demográficos/laborales y la presentación del sÃndrome de Burnout. CONCLUSIONES:
El SÃndrome de Burnout se presenta en más de 6 por cada 10 internos de...
INTRODUCTION:
Burnout syndrome (ICD10: Z73.0) is a disorder of high prevalence worldwide, but we still have few studies about that in our country. On the other hand it has been reported as a possible factor associated with medical errors; however this association has still not been evaluated in our context. OBJECTIVES:
To determine the prevalence of burnout in medical students during their internship in a Peruvian Medical Center Arzobispo Loayza in the academic period 2013 and to assess whether there is a significant association between Burnout and self-reported medical errors. MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 118 medical students who were finishing their internship at a Peruvian Medical Center. An anonymous electronic self-administrated survey was used to assess Burnout: MBI-HSS (Maslach Burnout Inventory for health professionals), and a second questionnaire with questions about demographic and occupational factors. RESULTS:
The response rate was 69.5 per cent. The prevalence of Burnout syndrome was 63.5 per cent (52 interns) (95 per cent CI: 52.6-73.02 per cent), while 40 per cent (33 interns) (95 per cent CI: 30.29-51.06 per cent) reported having committed at least a major medical error during the time of the internship. In the statistical analysis:
significant association between these variables was found, also we have found that interns who suffer Burnout (OR: 8.196, confidence interval 95 per cent 2.50-26.84) present more than 8 times more risk of emitting medical errors. No significant association between demography I occupational factors and Burnout was found. CONCLUSIONS:
Burnout syndrome occurs in more than 6 per 10 interns in our hospitals. The self-report of medical errors is significantly associated with the presence of burnout syndrome. On the other hand demography and occupational factors seem don't be associated with that syndrome. Hence, it is important to assess its association with other factors. It is...
