Análisis de los factores de riesgos psicosociales en médicos rurales en el periodo 2024. Implicaciones para la prevención del Burnout.

Abstract

Burnout syndrome is a pathological occupational condition resulting from chronic stress that has not been successfully managed. It is currently included in the ICD-10 and ICD- 11 registries. It represents one of the main causes of mental health impact among employees in a company, particularly in the medical profession. Employees, exposed to various psychosocial factors, such as work overload, social isolation, and negative relationships, end up developing burnout. The objective of this study is to analyze psychosocial risk factors in rural physicians in the period 2024 and their implications for burnout prevention. The methodology was based on a quantitative and descriptive approach, selecting a study sample of 41 rural physicians using inclusion and exclusion criteria from a population of 130 healthcare professionals. It was found that 85.37% presented moderate burnout, 9.75% mild burnout, and 4.88% severe burnout. Given the prevalence observed, emphasis is placed on the need to continue studying and raising awareness about this health issue. Furthermore, it is important to implement better burnout prevention strategies based on proper time management, ongoing training, and access to mental health services, among other things.
