Abstract

The objective of this research project was to determine the relationship of Burnout Syndrome with the quality of work life of the Nursing staff of the Hospital Básico Sigchos. The research presented a non-experimental, cross-sectional analytical design using the survey as an information gathering technique using two questionnaires, the Maslach Burnout inventory (MBI) Questionnaire for work stress and the CVL-HP Questionnaire for quality of work life (CVL) applied to a sample of 100 nursing professionals. The results indicate that 60% of the Nursing staff present a tendency towards work stress. There were no cases of professionals with high levels of Emotional Tiredness (CE), depersonalization (PD), low levels of Personal Achievement (PR) that indicate the effective presence of stress in nursing personnel. There is a tendency to perceive a poor quality of working life. It is concluded that there is sufficient statistical evidence to affirm that work stress is moderately and positively correlated with occupational quality of life in nursing personnel. In this way, an action protocol is proposed to control work stress and maintain the quality of work life in the nursing staff of the Sigchos Basic Hospital.
