El Burnout y su incidencia en la satisfacción laboral en el personal de enfermería de un hospital oncológico de la provincia de Manabí.

Abstract

Previous research in hospitals has highlighted the prevalence of Burnout syndrome among nursing staff, negatively impacting their mental health and the quality of patient care provided. These studies have underscored the importance of addressing the occupational well- being of healthcare personnel to enhance both job satisfaction and patient care. The present investigation aims to assess the incidence of Burnout syndrome on the job satisfaction of nursing staff at the “Dr. Julio Villacreses Colmont” Oncological Hospital of SOLCA Portoviejo in the Manabí province. A quantitative approach with descriptive-correlational scope and a non-experimental deductive method was employed. Using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire and the J.L. Meliá and J.M. Peiró S10/12 Job Satisfaction Scale, 265 nursing professionals were surveyed. Results indicate low levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, but a medium level of personal accomplishment, highlighting areas for improvement in job satisfaction and staff wellbeing. Significant correlations were identified between various variables, such as age and experience with night shifts and job satisfaction. Consequently, factors for a future action plan were proposed, comprising strategic activities such as providing emotional support, promoting selfcare and stress management, and enhancing the work environment through training programs and effective communication.
